New season, new series name. :p I don't really know how long this series is going to run, I haven't planned it out yet. Let's see where it goes.
"Well hello there, Flo."
A familiar face moves into Florence Almeida's field of vision. Florence's arms tremble -- she is holding up a barbell loaded up to 60kg, and she's reached her limit of 4 reps. "Oh, hi," she gasps. "Uh, help me rack this, would you?"
"Nahhhh!" Big, brawny Jasmine Kaur moves to stand at Florence's head, behind the bench press rack. "C'mon, I got you. 1 more! This is easy for you, Flo, easy!"
It is not, in fact, easy. Jasmine also fails to make it any easier -- her hands don't actually touch the rack as Florence strains to push the weight up off her chest. "Ahh... ahhhh... ahhhhhhh!" she cries out with increasing desperation. The shaking barbell stops halfway up, and begins descending again. "Help... unghh... help..."
Jasmine waits till the barbell is almost all the way down to Florence's sternum before taking a firm hold of the metal and drawing it up and back with one smooth motion, like a biceps curl. Florence has barely any strength left in her arms, shoulders or chest at this point -- it really is Jasmine's arm strength. She lets her arms dangle limply at her sides while glaring up at the cackling Indian musclegirl.
"Fuck you, Jasmine," she murmurs halfheartedly. Her lower back is twinging like crazy now, and she's afraid that if she moves wrong she'll end up with a lower back injury that'll put her out of action for some time.
"Hey, no pain, no gain, gotta hustle for the muscle, girlfriend."
"Not your girlfriend."
"Aw, how can you say that? After all the times we've cummed together."
"That'd make everyone everyone's girlfriend," Florence retorts.
"Ha! Ok. Although, you seem to be close to Sylvia these days. What's the story there?" Jasmine has moved to stand beside Florence, who gingerly pulls herself up into a sitting position while gripping the bar.
"There's no story," Florence mutters and looks away, rubbing her lower back. "Ow... fuck you, seriously..."
"C'mon, spill. I saw the video. You were in cahoots with the bitch, girl! You were using that remote-controlled vibrator on her... what the actual! Hahaha..." Jasmine dissolves into giggles. Her mass of belly muscles writhe and undulate as the amusement wracks her body. "That was... that was seriously some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Especially when the fucking thing malfunctioned and she was... she was so frantic, trying to get the thing out of her, then it was like she was laying an egg... and you were there, jamming your finger on the button and making those funny faces... like, oh my goddess, you were like this isn't working! I can't stop it, this button isn't working, what do I do, what do I do now? Sylvia, sorry, I'm sorry, Sylvia..." Jasmine dissolves into peals of outright laughter.
Florence, her face crimson, says nothing.
"Oh, I wish I could've been there." Jasmine manages to say after recovering somewhat. "Too bad I don't get along with the Steele bitches. But yeah, you seem to. Were you trying to get with Sylvia?"
"Not anymore, obviously," Florence mumbles and looks down shamefacedly.
"Yeah, not after that debacle, huh. Honestly, I never thought she was very sexy. Certainly not after she cheated and still lost. So are you invited to the next one? Dahlia vs. Sheila?"
"That one isn't invitation. That one's open. Right here." Florence gestures vaguely in the direction of the "Function Room".
"Wow. They agreed?"
"I... guess?"
"That is going to be so interesting. I wouldn't miss it for the world. When is it again, next Saturday evening, right? Hey, you wanna come with? Let's be partners," Jasmine offers generously. "I have a new vibrator I want to try. You can try it with me."
"I'm already coming with my mom," Florence blurts out, but then flushes. "Um... you could join us. If you're coming alone."
"Aw, I don't get to have you all to myself? Nah, forget it, I'll get someone else." Jasmine waves a hand dismissively. "No biggie. Hey so... what do you think? Does Dahlia have a chance at all?"
"You can't be serious!" Florence can't help scoffing. But then she looks up at Jasmine's earnest expression. "You're serious," she breathes. "You don't think it's going to be a total curb stomp."
Jasmine leans against the bench press rack and props her fist against her hip. The movement causes the awesome definition on her massive arm and shoulder to pop. Florence's gaze involuntarily fixes on Jasmine's musculature. "Why do you think it's going to be?"
"I... you actually..." Florence stops to think. "Ok, well... Dahlia has a lot of grit, I'll give her that. From what we've seen so far, we don't know them very well, but even her mother showed a lot of fight. Dahlia did show she was stronger than Sylvia, in reality... But Sheila's a
mother. How often do daughters beat mothers who're still under 60? Sheila probably outweighs her by... what... 10? 15? I wouldn't be surprised if Sheila has a 15kg advantage, and most of that muscle."
"Smaller girls do win sometimes."
"But have you seen the stipulations for the contest?"
Jasmine hasn't, so Florence quickly pulls up the relevant document on her phone. "Here, take a look. The deck is totally stacked. Those poor Kwans... they're gonna be slaves."
Jasmine is silent as she scrolls through the document. Slowly, she shakes her head. "Those Steeles are really something. I mean... they have a right to do it this way, but... where's the pride? Where's the honor?"
Florence shrugs. "They're like that. We all know. They just want to win."
"Sylvia as referee, fine, whatever. We're all going to be watching anyway, so that doesn't actually matter. If Sylvia's unfair we'll all start booing and they won't live it down. But... the whole contest is practically rigged. Fuck."
"Yep." Florence nods.
The match between Sheila and Dahlia will be a best-of-7, or first-to-4, series of contests. Round 1: Squats. Round 2: Deadlifts. Round 3: Bench press. For each of these rounds, Sheila will set the pace, selecting a weight and doing as many reps as she can with it. Then it'll be Dahlia's turn, and if Dahlia can't match the same number of reps, the point goes to Sheila.
Then Round 4: arm-wrestling, right arm. And the kicker... for rounds 1 to 3, Camellia can spot her daughter for safety, but before round 4 starts, Camellia is to be strung up to a bondage rack (specifically an inverted-Y rack, meaning Camellia's arms will be strapped together straight up above her while her legs will be apart). The table -- a professional arm wrestling table -- will be set up right in front of her.
Florence cannot help but think this will be outright bullying. Poor Dahlia surely cannot outlift Sheila at any of those 3 lifts, and will tire herself out in the attempt. Then having an arm wrestling match right after her bench press attempt... it seems calculated to give Sheila a crushing 4-0 victory.
Rounds 5 to 7 seem almost perfunctory. Arm wrestling, left arm; tug-of-war; submission wrestling.
"So yeah. Poor Dahlia. Poor Camellia. Poor Kwans." Florence shakes her head commiseratingly.
"Like you won't be bringing yourself to multiple climaxes along with everyone else, watching them get humiliated and destroyed," Jasmine snorts. She looks thoughtful. "Mmm. I don't know... I feel like Dahlia might surprise all of us."
"She's very muscular, very strong," Florence concedes, "but the size and weight difference... it's just too much."
"Mmm. Let's see next week. Hey, come and give me a spot, will you? I'm going heavy on squats today."
Florence sighs and assents. Her lower back spasms have subsided, but she rubs it gingerly as she stands up. She won't risk it anymore today.
Fucking Jasmine Kaur, she thinks to herself, glaring at the powerfully-built woman's thick back muscles. She doesn't dare say it to Jasmine's face, of course, or complain too much; she's been crushed too many times -- physically and sexually -- by the larger, stronger Jasmine already.
It really does seem almost a foregone conclusion, a one-sided beatdown, Florence muses. But Jasmine doesn't seem to think so...
