Almost passed out using glute kickback machine

I love this machine for glute growth, I’ve been using it for months and steadily adding weight. I’ve been able to do 120lbs before. Did it today and at the end of the set (10 reps each leg) I felt awful, so lightheaded. My vision went completely black. Didn’t completely pass out though, was able to lean against the machine and let myself sit down gently without falling.

Why would this machine cause me to pass out? Is my form wrong, like am I leaning forward too much and putting pressure on my abdominal aorta? Is there a way to fix my form to not be leaning forward too much? any other tips?

what smells like the inside of a brand new office supply store or a clean office? hints of rubber, wet concrete, construction paper, etc also welcome

I just wanna say, this sub has quickly become one of my favorites. Especially when people have unusual requests.

What is your favorite "weird" perfume that is unconventional but you still love? That you don't wear in public but enjoy all to yourself? The kind you wear on a rainy day when you're home all day and just wanna smell yourself and feel nostalgic and cozy?

My favorite weird perfume is Odeur 53 by Comme des Garcons, it smells to me like wet concrete or wet asphalt, like after a thunderstorm on a hot day. It also smells like a hot glue gun, latex gloves, with just hints of like the inside of a clean office or staples store. It makes me nostalgic for going school supply shopping with my mom in August. Not to sound dramatic, but on a rainy day when I'm stuck inside at home I like to spray this on myself and just sniff my wrists all day, if the right mood strikes me, the nostalgic feeling can bring me to tears.

I would love recommendations of perfumes that are similar to Odeur 53, with that hot wet concrete smell, but more like a pristinely clean office or brand new office supply store, and more like construction paper, rubber erasers, other school/office supplies.

And please tell me about your favorite odd perfume!

hospital, isopropyl alcohol and chlorhexidine, antimicrobial soap, sterile cleanliness, roses, hot car, ac, its 90 degrees and thunderstorm, water on concrete or stone

Is there such a perfume that combines all of these notes?

What if I was a flower loving fairy working in a hospital?

Clean, pristine hospital smell. Isoproyl alcohol, hand sanitizer, and chlorhexidine soap scrub.

The pure clean smell of scrubbing into surgery, but maybe there's someone there who has drowned themselves in their favorite rose perfume.

The smell of hot water hitting concrete or stone is present. Holy water and roses combined with a sterile, surgical scent. The smell of a surgical cautery or perhaps very heated metal plus the smell of Regime des Fleurs' Little Flower or Glass Blooms.

You've just been discharged from the hospital and perhaps you have fresh, bandaged, clean, surgical wounds. There may be dried iodine or betadine on your skin that they haven't completely cleaned off of you. You have entered your brand new car with leather seats that has been sitting in 90 degree weather all day. It has been pouring rain and the bouquet of turkish roses your boyfriend has given you is soaked.

The notes of House of Bo's Rosario combined with Comme des Garcons' Odeur 53 plus a strong medicinal, sterile quality.

The iodine and cleanliness of Toskovat's Inexcusable Evil, minus the blood and dirty smell, and the flowers are alive and beautiful, not sad and dead.

Any local hiking groups/club?

Hi neighbors,

I’d love to do more hikes in this area with groups. Some of these hikes are a bit sus to do alone. I’m a girl in my 30s and would love to do more outdoor things with people around my age. Maybe some people who wanna go work out together too. Are there any groups or clubs in the area for getting more active?
