Likeee this picture is somethinggggg.

The gym buzzed with the familiar hum of energy—the clatter of weights, the rhythmic thud of treadmills, and the occasional grunt of exertion. Amidst the chaos, Cody stood out like a beacon, his body a testament to years of dedication and discipline. His taut, defined muscles flexed and strained with each repetition, glistening under the harsh fluorescent lights as sweat slicked his skin. He was in his zone, his focus razor-sharp as he powered through his workout, oblivious—or perhaps pretending to be—to the attention he commanded.

Across the room, Y/N sat on a bench, ostensibly scrolling through their phone, but their eyes remained fixed on Cody. They couldn’t look away, openly staring as he moved with the precision of a machine. Every lift, every stretch, every exhale drew them in deeper, their breath growing shallow as if just watching him was a workout in itself. His shirt, once loose, now clung to his frame like a second skin, accentuating every ripple of his abs, every bulge of his biceps. Y/N’s heart pounded, their palms damp as they clutched their phone, pretending to be absorbed in its screen.

Cody transitioned to the cable machine, his broad back tensing as he pulled the handles down with controlled force. His lats flared, his traps corded with tension, and Y/N felt their mouth go dry. They shifted on the bench, thighs pressing together in a futile attempt to quell the heat pooling between their legs. They knew they were being obvious, their gaze bordering on voyeuristic, but they couldn’t help it. Cody was a masterpiece—a living, breathing work of art—and Y/N was helpless to look away.

As Cody moved to the free weights, his movements fluid and purposeful, Y/N stood, pretending to stretch while tracking his every move. They wandered closer, feigning interest in the water fountain, but their reflection in the mirror betrayed their true intent. Cody’s reflection was there too, his form perfect as he curled the dumbbells, veins standing out like roadmaps beneath his skin. Y/N’s gaze lingered on his arms, imagining what it would feel like to run their hands over those taut muscles, to feel the heat of his skin beneath their fingertips.

“Need a spot?” a voice interrupted, jolting Y/N from their reverie. They turned to see a fellow gym-goer offering a friendly smile, but Y/N quickly shook their head. “No thanks,” they muttered before hurrying away, their cheeks burning with embarrassment. Still, their heart pounded with something far stronger than mere nervousness. They couldn’t shake the feeling that Cody knew—that he could sense their gaze like a physical touch.

Back on their bench, Y/N tried to focus on their own workout, but their mind kept drifting back to Cody. They watched as he moved to the squat rack, his legs powerful as he loaded the bar with plates. His form was impeccable, his core braced as he descended into a deep squat, quads straining with the effort. Y/N’s breath hitched, fingers curling into fists as they imagined themselves beneath him, his weight pressing them into the mat, his muscles flexing as he moved.

The air in the gym felt thick, charged with unspoken tension. Y/N’s skin prickled as they took in the intoxicating blend of sounds—the iron tang of sweat, the rhythmic clang of weights, the heavy exhales escaping Cody’s lips. It was a heady mix of raw power and primal desire, leaving them trembling with need.

As Cody finished his set, racking the weights with a loud clang, Y/N’s eyes flicked to his face for the first time. His sharp features and squared jaw were impossible to ignore. For a fleeting moment, their eyes met in the mirror. Y/N’s heart skipped a beat, breath catching in their throat as they spotted a flicker of recognition in his gaze. Was it their imagination, or did his lips quirk into a subtle smirk before he turned away?

The moment was brief, but it left Y/N reeling. Their legs felt unsteady as they made their way to the locker room, mind racing. Had Cody noticed their staring? Did he know the effect he had on them? The questions swirled in their head as they stripped off their damp clothes, the cool air of the locker room doing little to quell the heat still coursing through their veins.

Under the hot spray of the shower, Y/N closed their eyes, letting the water cascade over their skin. They imagined Cody’s hands on them—his touch firm and commanding, his muscles pressing into theirs as he held them close. They bit their lip, their fingers tracing the contours of their own body, their own touch a poor substitute for the strength and power they craved.

As they toweled off, Y/N’s mind wandered back to the gym—to Cody’s sweat-slicked body and the way his muscles had flexed with every movement. They knew they shouldn’t keep staring, shouldn’t keep indulging in this silent worship. But the thought of stopping felt impossible. Cody had become an obsession, a fixation that left them yearning for more.

Leaving the locker room, Y/N paused at the gym’s entrance, scanning the room for Cody. There he was, wiping down the bench press, his shirt now off, revealing the full glory of his torso. Y/N’s breath caught, pulse quickening at the sight. His pecs were sculpted, his abs forming a perfect V, and for a moment, all resolve wavered.

They stepped back into the shadows, watching as Cody slung a towel over his shoulder and headed for the exit. Y/N’s heart raced, mind spinning with possibilities. Should they follow him? Approach him? Let him know the effect he had on them? Or should they remain hidden, content to admire him from afar?

The decision hung in the air, heavy with anticipation. Y/N’s fingers curled into fists, their body tense with unspoken desire. They knew this couldn’t go on forever—eventually, they would have to act. But for now, they were content to watch, to admire, to let their imagination run wild with the possibilities.

As Cody disappeared through the doors, Y/N took a deep breath, chest rising and falling in rhythm with their pounding heartbeat. The gym felt quieter now, its energy subdued without Cody’s presence. Y/N’s gaze lingered on the spot where he had stood, mind already replaying every stolen glance, every moment of silent longing.

The question of what would happen next lingered, unanswered—a tantalizing promise of something more. One thing was certain: they couldn’t stay away. Cody had become an addiction, a craving they couldn’t ignore, and they were willing to risk everything to get closer to him. But how? And at what cost?

For now, the answers remained just out of reach, waiting in the shadows—just like Y/N.

Hooking Up at Macys

I've told this story many times and it always seems to be a hit. Someone asked me once in a chat group, "what is the most random sexual encounter you've every had?" I didn't have to think too long.

First, the background. I'm a quad amputee...that means I'm missing all my limbs. I lost them when I was 18 to meningitis. To be specific, my legs are both very short -- about 10 inches long. My arms end just below my elbows so, I have elbow function which, quite frankly, is a Godsend because it gives me so much more control than I would have without them. Now, since my legs are so short, I really never use prosthetic legs and rely on a wheelchair to get around. I do use prosthetic arms and have come to rely on them very heavily. I use body powered hook prosthetics which means I don't rely on any electronics or batteries to open and close the hooks...just cables connected to a harness that I can manipulate with my shoulders. Okay, so that's the image. Not a pretty one although I am, as I've been told, very attractive. I manage to stay trim and have been blessed with good genes.

Now, I'm not into labels but I guess I'd say I'm bi-sexual. I have always been with guys and girls ever since I started exploring sex. To be fair, I've been mostly with women the last 5 or so years so, maybe I'm a lesbian? I don't know...I don't care.

Given my disability, I do maintain a high degree of independence. I drive, go shopping, and otherwise enjoy a robust social life. A few years ago I was bitching about my wardrobe and decided to head out shopping. The local mall had a Macy's and I usually find decent deals there so, I headed over. I made my way to the women's department and started looking through the various racks of tops. A very nice older store clerk saw me and offered to help but, I was okay so I thanked her and declined.

I went back to my browsing and wheeled around a rack and bumped into someone. "I'm sorry!" I said without really seeing who I bumped into. The woman turned around and saw me and immediately said "oh, no worries." She was gorgeous. She was about 40 with the body of a 20 year old. She was tall, slender with dark hair and a face that reminded me of Selma Hyak. She was wearing a simple white blouse that was very low cut and a very tight, short skirt. She looked like she was shopping on her lunch break from work.

What really struck me about her was how she looked at me. Typically, I get a lot of stares -- mostly at my hooks or my wheelchair. But, this look was directly into my eyes which gave me a real "vibe" if you know what I mean. I brushed it off and went back to my browsing. As I was browsing, I kept noticing her glancing over at me. She seemed to follow me as I went rack to rack. As I browsed, I pulled a few items off the rack and draped on my chair. I headed to the changing room to try them. As I wheeled over, I noticed my friend right behind me with a similar load of things to try on. The clerk who managed the fitting room helped me in and led me to the very last booth on the right as it was larger than all the others and would probably be easier with the chair and all. I told her I'd be a while (for obvious reasons) and she was gracious and said take all the time you need...just yell if you need anything.

I started to take off my top which can be a slow process with hooks. But, I'm well practiced now so, I manage to get through 3 of the 5 items when I heard someone from outside the booth exclaim, "Shit!" I chuckled and said..."are you okay?"

"I need an opinion", came a reply. It sounded like my hot friend. "I'm desperate. I have a party right after work and I need to look great for the new boss. I just can't decide if what I'm wearing too much. Would you mind telling me what you think?" she said.

I paused for a second as I thought it was a little odd but, she was so hot, I didn't mind. "Sure...give me a sec." I started to open the door to the stall and there she was right in the doorway. "Oh, I'll come in, it'll be easier," she said. I rolled back and she stepped all the way in. She stood right in front of me and I was looking up at her lovely figure enjoying the view.

"I know this is odd, but I'm really in need of woman's perspective and judging by the way the girl who runs the changing room is dressed, you're it."

I laughed out loud, "Sure, no problem" I said.

"Thanks, you're a savior!" she exclaimed. "Now, I have this top." She held up a red knit top that looked very thin against her chest.

"That might be a little too clingy...its hard to tell", I said.

"Oh. Ok, I'll just put it on." she said without hesitation. She went about taking off her white blouse and revealed a very ample bosom. Her breasts were perfect and I started to feel a little warm. She was quick to put on the red knit top and as I suspected, it outlined every curve of her top.

"Oh, that's lovely." I said.

"Not too much?" she asked.

"No. To be honest, its perfect!" She must have caught the lust in my voice because she paused and gave me a little inquizative look.

"Hmm. Based on your reaction, I think I'm making the right impression."

"Oh, absolutely," I said staring at her chest.

"Maybe you should help me take this off," she offered.

"Oh, I would want my hooks to ruin it. These things are great for a lot but not with fragile knit-ware," I said.

"Hmm. I can think of one or two things you could do with them that might be interesting," she said very suggestively. My eyes lit up at that point and I felt my face turning a little flush. "Oh how cute are you!" she said seeing how .

She then grabbed by right hook and guided it to her tummy. "Hmm. It's not cold like I thought it would be," she said referring to my hook. "I wonder how this would feel in my pussy." That was it. She put it right out there so, I went for it. I took my left hook and rotated my right hook so the fingers were pointing up. I then lifted her skirt with my left hook and gently pressed my right hook up against her pussy through her panties and moved it back and forth.

"Oh my! You are a horny little thing," she said. I just looked up with a little pout. Then, she reached down and pulled up her skirt and moved her panties to the side revealing her lovely vagina. I wasted no time and slowly pushed my right hook as far in as I could and began moving back and forth. She moaned in pleasure.

As I moved my hook back and forth I was grinding against cushion of my wheelchair. I was so turned on. She then leaned over and reached her hand down to my waist slipped her hand into my shorts and quickly went to work fingering me. I was out of my mind with pleasure. She used her other hand to push my hook deeper into her pussy and let out the most guttural moan.

We were both fully engaged and lost in our mutual pleasure. Kissing, fingering...it was all so good. I remember trying to keep quiet but being unable to keep my ecstasy contained. Then, as if we were both programmed, we came together. We both quivered and shook and I could feel my seat cushion getting drenched.

"Oh my god," she exclaimed as she started to gather herself.

"Oh my god is right," I replied.

"That was amazing...but...uh...I..I have to go," she said shakily.

"Wait...what's your name? Can I call you?" I asked.

"Uh...I'm sorry...I just have to go." And with that she left the changing booth and ran off. I was so confused and wanting for more of her. She was so hot and turned on ... I just couldn't understand why she bolted off like that.

Over the next few weeks, I kept going back to that store around lunch time on the chance that I might run into her, but I never did. Every night I would replay that encounter in my head and end up getting off using my hooks.

If you are looking for effective core exercises, make sure to add the wood chop exercise to your regime. This can also be done with no equipment as well as by using a cable machine or dumbbellsCore strength is a must for everyone, and not just for athletes or gym-goers. Whether you are putting on your shoes, lifting groceries or playing with your children, you use your core muscles. Right from your abdominals to obliques, they are all involved in some way or the other. This means you need to focus on your core along with other parts of your body. When it comes to classic and effective core-strengthening moves, you can’t leave out planks, crunches and dead bugs. However, you should also perform the wood chop exercise, as it can build core strength. The wood-chopping action has a lot more to offer.What is the wood chop exercise?It is a functional exercise that mimics the motion of chopping wood. “It involves twisting your torso while moving resistance diagonally across your body,” says fitness expert Abhi Singh Thakur.Wood chop can strengthen your core. Image courtesy: Adobe StockThe following muscles are worked in the wood chop exercise: Core muscles (obliques, rectus abdominis and transverse abdominis) Shoulders (deltoids, rotator cuff) Back (latissimus dorsi, erector spinae) Legs and glutes (quads, hamstrings and glutes) Arms (forearms, biceps and triceps)Apart from the no equipment option, you can go for a cable machine or something as simple as a resistance band to do this core-strengthening exercise. A 2019 study, published in SAGE Open Medicine, shows that working out with resistance bands offers similar strength gains to using other gym equipment.What are the benefits of the wood chop exercise?Here are some benefits of the wood chop exercise: Builds core strength: “The wood chop exercise involves the twisting motion that targets core muscles, including obliques and rectus abdominis,” says the expert. During a 2017 study, published in the Journal Of Strength And Conditioning Research, the wood chop exercise was found to be a reliable method to strengthen core muscles. Helps with fat loss: When done at a fast pace or with heavy resistance, it elevates the heart rate. “This can help with fat loss and endurance,” says the expert. Improves flexibility: The upward and downward motion of the wood chop exercise engages the shoulders, improving flexibility and control. Increasing flexibility can decrease the number of injuries, according to research published in Sports Medicine in 2004. Engages the entire body: While it’s mainly a core exercise, it also works the legs, glutes, shoulders and arms, making it an effective full-body movement.How to do the wood chop exercise?Follow these steps to perform the wood chop exercise: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bring your hands together as if holding a weight. Lower your hands toward one knee while twisting your torso. Quickly rotate your body and swing your hands toward the opposite shoulder.Variations of wood chop exerciseTo avoid your workout getting monotonous, try these variations:1. Cable wood chop Attach the cable handle to the highest setting on a cable machine. Stand sideways to the cable machine with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the handle with both hands and rotate your torso as you bring the cable diagonally downward across your body. Finish near your opposite hip while keeping your core engaged. Slowly return to the start and repeat for 10-15 reps per side.2. Dumbbell wood chop You can do this exercise with a dumbbell by holding it with your hands in front of you. Lower the dumbbell toward one knee by twisting your torso. Explosively rotate your body as you lift the dumbbell diagonally toward the opposite shoulder. Slowly lower the dumbbell and repeat for 10-15 reps per side.3. Medicine ball wood chop Hold a medicine ball with your hands. Lower it toward one side while rotating your torso. Explosively swing the ball upward toward the opposite side. For a power move, you can slam the ball on the ground instead of swinging it up.

4. Kettlebell wood chop Hold a kettlebell with both hands. Lower it toward one knee while keeping your back straight. Rotate your torso and swing the kettlebell upward across your body. Control the motion and engage your core throughout the wood chop exercise.You can do the wood chop using a resistance band. Image courtesy: Adobe Stock5. Resistance band wood chop Attach a resistance band to a sturdy object at chest height. Hold the band with your hands and stand sideways to the anchor point. Rotate your torso and pull the band diagonally across your body. Return slowly to the start position to maintain tension.Who should avoid the wood chop exercise?It is beneficial for many people, but some people should avoid it:You may also like People with lower back pain should not do it, as the twisting motion may strain their spine. People with shoulder or rotator cuff injuries should skip it, as overhead movements can aggravate the injury. Individuals with hernia or abdominal issues should not do the wood chop exercise, as the core engagement might cause discomfort.“This exercise can be done by beginners, but if done incorrectly, it can lead to strain or injury. So, they need to make sure their form is correct,” says Thakur.The wood chop exercise can be part of your core-strengthening workout. Make sure the form is correct to avoid injuries while doing the exercise, which can be done without equipment or with the help of a cable machine, dumbbells and resistance bands.Related FAQsCan you do the wood chop without equipment?Yes, you can do a bodyweight wood chop by mimicking the movement with no weight, focusing on explosive power and muscle engagement.

Best IPTV Provider 2024 in USA, Canada, UK, Europe

In the rapidly evolving world of television and entertainment, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has emerged as a revolutionary option for viewers. By allowing access to a vast array of channels and on-demand content through internet connectivity, IPTV is reshaping how we consume media. If you're considering a one-year IPTV subscription, choosing the right smart TV box is crucial for an optimal viewing experience. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the best smart TV boxes for IPTV in 2024, delve into the benefits of IPTV, and provide insights on how to make the most of your IPTV subscription.

⏹ Understanding IPTV

⏩ What is IPTV?

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television, which delivers television programming and other video content over the internet. Unlike traditional cable or satellite television that relies on broadcasting signals, IPTV uses broadband connections to stream content directly to your devices. This allows for greater flexibility and access to a wide range of programming options.

▶ How IPTV Works

IPTV operates by breaking down video content into data packets and transmitting it over a network. The key components involved in IPTV include:

◾ Content Delivery Network (CDN): A network of servers designed to deliver content efficiently, reducing latency and buffering.

◾ Middleware: Software that acts as a bridge between the user and the IPTV service provider, facilitating channel selection, recording, and other features.

◾ Set-Top Box (STB): A device that connects to your TV and the internet, allowing you to stream IPTV content.

▶ Benefits of IPTV

◾ Cost-Effectiveness: IPTV subscriptions are generally more affordable than traditional cable packages. You often get more channels and features for less money.

◾ Diverse Channel Selection: IPTV provides access to a vast array of channels, including local, national, and international options.

◾ On-Demand Content: Many IPTV services offer extensive libraries of movies and shows available for instant viewing.

◾ User-Friendly Interfaces: Modern IPTV platforms are designed to be intuitive, making it easy to navigate through channels and content.

◾ Multi-Device Compatibility: IPTV can be accessed on various devices, including smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, and computers.
