ROOMMATE CHALLENGE Weightlifting and wrestling Update: 14/05/1998 to misc4 In the University of Southern Manitoba two friends were involved in a weights work out. Sylvia was 5'5 and about 125 lbs. She had curly shoulder length strawberry blond hair and green eyes. Tami was also 5'5 but a little heavier at about 130. She was blonde with blue eyes and much darker in complexion than Sylvia's lightly freckled face. Her hair was cut short, leaving her natural good looks uncluttered for everyone to see. Though neither woman's body was in the extreme proportions of a body builder it was easy to tell that they took their training seriously. Both looked firm and shapely in their spandex workout gear. "Come on Tami One more push." Sylvia shouted in encouragement as her partner strained on the bench press. All the men in the room peering out the corner of their eyes to catch a glimpse. "Good push" Sylvia said as Tami successfully lifted the 100 lbs weight for the final rep. "All right! Lets hit the showers then." Tami replied, still laying on the bench trying to catch her breath. "Up for one more" Sylvia said with a plan to get out of some work later. "What's your game today" Tami said, very familiar with her roommates schemes. "One more set with the weight at 110. No spotter until help is called for. Loser makes supper tonight." "Your on" Tami answered. "But you go first since I was the last to lift. Hope your ready to make up a plate of lasagna." "Lasagna sounds fine, but I think I'd rather have a chicken stir fry." Sylvia set up the weight and positioned herself underneath. She easily took the weight off the rack and began. One, two, three. With each rep you could see her strain increase as she wrinkled up her pretty face. The sixth came hard and she was stuck on the seventh. "Need a hand," Tami teased. Sylvia let the weight drop down to rest on her chest. "Yes " gasped Sylvia. Tami helped Sylvia get the weight back to the bar. She grabbed her towel as she sat up and got into position behind the rack for Tami's lift. "Seven reps for lasagna eh! Maybe I'll do the last three one armed" joked Tami though she knew she was far too tired to be over confident. She began her set and had little trouble with the first four but she was having trouble by the fifth one. With great strain she pushed the six rep and began working on the tie breaking seventh. "Your looking tired girl" Sylvia offered, "need a break." Tami never responded, but pushed with every ounce of strength she had. Her whole body straining and her back arched as she wrestled the weight up. "There!! Tami exclaimed as she locked her elbows and then racked it. "Looks like lasagna tonight." "Good push" Sylvia conceded. "Guess I have to be content with being able to beat you up." "Now that's a load of bull. I have do doubt I would beat you at that to," Tami said , responding to her friends subtle challenge. Sylvia, spotting the chance to redeem herself, decided to press the issue further. "All right then, I'm not too busy this evening, I challenge you to a wrestling match back home. Loser cleans the bathroom for a week." Tami was startled by her friends exuberance about the idea but was willing to take on almost any challenge that Sylvia made to her, and she did hate to clean the bathroom, (which was a chore she thought too often fell to her anyway.) "All right" Tami replied, "but lets go home and get some supper first." The two showered off and headed home, where Sylvia prepared the lasagna supper as their earlier bet dictated. Through supper Tami offered up a couple teasing remarks about her earlier victory, all the more preparing Sylvia to seek her redemption. "Bathroom cleaning is a messy job, sure your up for it?" asked Tami. Sylvia and Tami were both competitive and Tami's supper time teasing had Sylvia fired up. "I don't have to worry, I'm going to flip you over once we get started" was Sylvia's reply. It was decide that the contest would be decided by submission. Not knowing much about the specifics of wrestling they didn't set up any rules about holds, although they both agreed there should be no hair pulling or punches. After both changed into another set of work out clothes they were all set. Tami could tell that Sylvia was serious and this worried her some. Sylvia had always been a bit more athletically inclined, and suddenly she wondered if she had bitten off more than she could handle. "Ready" said Sylvia. "Ready" replied Tami With that Sylvia lunged right at Tami and put her in a headlock that bent Tami over. Sylvia put her leg between Tami's and tripped her up to her knees as Sylvia moved behind her, continuing to apply the headlock. She then pulled Tami back on top of her and wrapped her legs around Tami's stomach and began to squeeze. Tami felt that her pre-match trepidations were being proven true as she felt the pain increase against her sides.Sylvia held her there as Tami reached back behind her trying to grab hold. Grabbing Sylvia's head she pulled it towards her. This caused Sylvia to loosen up her grip and Tami rolled over on top. The two now struggled for an advantage which Sylvia secured first, grabbing Tami's wrist and pinning them back on the floor. Sylvia sifted her weight so that she was sitting up on Tami's chest with her knees tight against Tami's face. Sylvia could feel Tami squirming but she was in no danger of being pushed off. "Got ya!!" exclaimed Sylvia from her perch. "Bet again" retorted Tami as she kicked her legs up and wrapped them around Sylvia's neck. Pulling Sylvia off with her legs Tami scrambled on top and rolled her over to her stomach. Then she grabbed Sylvia's flailing arms, placed her knee on Sylvia's back and pulled her arms straight up behind her. "Now, who's got who?" Tami commented, feeling secure in her position. Sylvia was always in control of things in her life, and this lack of control she was experiencing was enough to unnerve her. Without the use of her arms she frantically tried to rock side to side. Tami was balanced mostly on one knee, and she fell to the side still holding one of Sylvia's arms. Sylvia, freed, she then rolled over, shook off Tami's grip and grabbed her roommates right leg and arm. She then pressed her legs into Tami's side and pulled back on Tami's arm and leg. T.J's whole side was being stretched and she gasped for breath. But both women's skin were sweaty and Sylvia couldn't hold her grip. Realizing this she released her hold on Tami's wrist and grabbed her other leg. She brought Tami's legs up over her head and pinned them on the floor in behind. Then she positioned herself over top of Tami so she could keep the pressure on Tami's legs. Tami was pinned, though she still had the use of her arms and tried to grab hold of Sylvia. Sylvia released her grip on Tami's ankles to grab her wrist and pin them down. Tami, her legs released, she then tried to use them too push out of this position, but Sylvia positioned herself so that she could push down on Tami's thighs with her body. Tami stopped struggling for a moment and gazed up at the pretty face of her now smug roommate. She realized she wasn't in a good position but she was unwilling to give in until she was certain that she had no options left. Sylvia was looking down on Tami with a smile on her face certain that victory was soon to come. She was feeling an excitement that she didn't expect as she felt her roommates fight drain out of her. Here she was in complete control. "Are you ready to give?" asked Sylvia. Tami didn't respond, she was trying to catch her breath and was still trying to figure a way out. "Told you I would flip you." Sylvia then switched her grip back to Tami's ankles and rolled her feet right over her head till Tami was lying flat, face first on the floor. Then she brought Tami's legs up behind to her shapely rear and sat on Tami's now folded legs. Then she grabbed Tami's arms and locked them behind her back. Now she had control of Tami's legs and arms. Tami's hair fell over her face as she lay with her breast pushed into the floor's carpeting. She thought she might have been able to get out of the last hold but she didn't see any opening now. Sylvia paused, soaking up the moment. Then she released her grip on one of Tami's arms so she could sweep the hair from Tami's face. She wanted to see the look on her roommates face as realization of her predicament dawned on her. Sylvia leaned forward and whispered "Are you ready to give yet". Tami realized that she was caught. She paused for a moment before answering though. Sylvia sat up a little straighter. "I'm not letting you up till you say that you give, and it doesn't seem that your are going anywhere otherwise." Tami, having realized her fate responded, "You win. I give. I give. I give. Now please let me up." Sylvia, waited a moment longer. Taking in all the emotions of the moment she never expected to enjoy as much as she had. Then she crawled off to the side and sat down by Tami Tami unfolded her legs and arms, laying there a moment with her pride having taking a bit of a beating. She rolled over to her back. Seeing her conqueror sitting beside her and the look on Sylvia's face she knew she would have to try again one day. She also knew she had no intention of that day finishing the same way.
