We share because we care.

"Without context these workouts are merely one long series of 90 second rests broken up by slow motion twelves. The herd has no clue why you're sweating like a pig at a barbecue and sucking more air than a Hoover vacuum." - Achieving ODJ

We at No Fat Jokes Please pride ourselves on an open book policy. The public needs to know, and we subscribe to full transparency. We also believe in dancing with the grenade before tossing it to the masses. It is crucial that all workouts Jaron organize are fully implemented, ridiculed, tweaked, cursed upon, and vetted for potential discrimination violations. Jaron and I have ran through the following four workouts since late June; dialing in the weight selection, erasing the impossible, and horse trading the 4-2-1 count sets. Because in the gospel of ODJ when something is in writing we shall not deviate. The stagecoach only knows one path, and if that path is off the cliff call the coroner because weez going over!     

For those partaking in ODJ, it has come to our attention that the leg day is a pain boomerang... hurts while doing the sets, and then the pain comes back around two or three days later. The Pee-wee Hermans are sleeping killers. The heart red-lines and sweat pours out of my eyes. And that is just set number one of three.

Then there is anything associated with the stability ball. Slap me in the face, call me Sally, and kick sand in my shorts! Such an inviting accessory. Almost looks out of place. Don't let it's cuteness fool you -- this rollie pollie is the harbinger of death. The seventh level of hell is decorated with stability balls.

Without further belly aching and self-loathing, I present to our reading audience... Stability Redux.
