Workout: What did you do today?

[Lexi Darling]

^ Maybe some of this information would fit more naturally in your personal thread? Just a suggestion

It's workout related so I think it's fine here. It's not like my lifestyle is really a secret anymore anyway lol. I use that thread for the more in-depth stuff, but I don't want to have to shy away from posting about the reality of my day to day life in relevant threads just because that day to day life is different than some others'. If you don't want to read my experiences, you don't have to. But thank you for the suggestion.

I feel like there's a line between talking about or sharing something personal and using this forum as basically part of your kink* and something you get off on. Seems to me like you're enlisting us the readers to be part of your sex thing, basically.



*I have nothing against any kink as long as it's not hurting anyone; I'm interested in S&M and know it up close

I understand your point of view. My intention is not to try to involve you or the forum in my kink or ask that you engage with it. I've detailed this a bit in my thread, but I want to make it clear that I don't get off to my lifestyle, much less get off to people reading my posts about it. If I gave that impression I apologize and I will try to lay off some of the specifics going forward. But frankly even before I came out with the truth of my lifestyle I talked a lot about the stuff I did to pamper my partner and nobody bat much of an eyebrow.

I lead a pretty sheltered life (even before the BDSM thing) and I relate to topics through my own life experiences. I apologize once again if anyone is made uncomfortable by my posts. I'm still of the mind that you can ignore me if you don't want to hear about it, but like it or not it is the reality of my life right now.

I'll try my best to talk about the specifics less. I apologize once again if you felt unsafe or hurt by what I have posted.

It was in the nature flow of conversation and related to the topic at hand.

Idk man seem a little uptight about this.

Didn't know we had Thread police around these parts.

[Lexi Darling]

I just don't know where to draw the lines I guess. Everything in my home life is part of my dynamic. If I post anything about doing household tasks or cooking for Mr. Waffles that could be interpreted as part of the "sex thing". But I will try to be more mindful of the context.

^ it was not so much about this particular thread

I apologize once again if you felt unsafe or hurt by what I have posted

I don't know what this could mean but when I say that you shouldn't apologize to me I mean it very literally

[Lexi Darling]

^ it was not so much about this particular thread

I understand that. My point is that I just don't always know what people consider appropriate to post and what they don't sometimes. And now that the whole thing is out in the open and basically everybody knows about it, you can read a "sexual" context into basically anything I post about my relationship, my partner or the things I do at home. Which just kind of limits what I can post about on here. As I said I will try my best to read the room and not post anything explicitly D/s coded, but when my D/s encompasses most of my life, that's hard.

I don't know what this could mean but when I say that you shouldn't apologize to me I mean it very literally

Understood. What I meant by that was you seemed to have been made uncomfortable by my posts and I wanted to show that I do understand and sympathize with your point of view. If you do not want my apology, that's fine. I'll try my best to take what you said into account.

Doing 10 sets of 30 pushups.

Once in a while I like to do some bodyweight stuff that I can do in the bedroom with music on and the fan on (the shed is like a sauna).

Made gainz when I last did heavy weight BTW.

My trainer was busy today and we couldn't meet up but this was my to do list today.

I will be honest I only did 5 of them starting from the top.

Feel like I want to seriously work on my deadlift. Haven't systematically done it since the pandemic and I miss it. Gives you an energy boost like few other exercises (and not as tiring as the other compounds in my experience).

How much do you deadlift, @jimmy jazz ?

[jimmy jazz]

I don't 😂. I only do Romanian Deadlifts for my hams and that's at 110kg I think but for 10+ reps. Never done Deadlifts for 1RM or to not focus on hams so I dunno.

What about you? @jadis

[DJChameleon]

Do you guys squat with like the weight bar behind your neck?

Also if you do, do you keep it to a respectable weight or do you go all out?


The main reason I'm asking is because of the 30 year old tik tok weight lifter that died doing those squats. He would max out and do like 400 lbs. squats which is non sense to me.

Yes. Barbell back squat.

Also if you do, do you keep it to a respectable weight or do you go all out?

Respectable weight for me but it's relative as someone else would find it challenging and then it would be dangerous. I squat what I know I can comfortably lift for 10 reps.

Strength athletes can train like that but this guy was a bodybuilder so it doesn't sound like he was used to it. If he'd have done it in a cage he would have been OK. If he had spotters either side he wouldn't have died. The guy behind him was never gonna be able to catch it in time and then just got in his way afterward.

Squatting for low reps to the point of near failure is too dangerous imo.

[jadis]

Yeah no such thing as a respectable weight. Everyone starts their workout journey at a different point in their life, has a different pace, different goals etc. and when it becomes about the numbers chances are you're ready to overlook issues with your form and cut corners and that's never good

[DJChameleon]

By respectable weight, I mean just like Jimmy said. A weight that you can comfortably do 10 reps of.

I think it's nonsense to just load up as much weight as you can just to bench it once. That's what he was known for doing.
