Chapter 7 Strength

I measured my bust, waist, and arm circumferences and they all increased. After taking a few photos, my body fat continued to decrease. Although my abdominal muscles still don't have obvious eight lines, the overall muscle mass has increased significantly.

He did a few push-ups, and it really seemed more relaxed than before. The standard push-ups did not reach the limit even after 70 push-ups.

But instead of continuing, he stopped and took his phone to find the nearest gym nearby.

Push-ups and other unarmed exercises can be used to calculate the degree of progress when the basic strength is relatively poor at the beginning, but when the basic strength reaches a certain level, it is not easy to count, or it takes too much time.

Relatively speaking, the gym equipment can make a data-based assessment of one's physical strength more specifically.

After Xiang Kun went to the gym, he asked to apply for a half-week or monthly card experience. The young salesman who received him directly gave him a three-time experience card and told him if he could not decide whether to apply for a membership card after three times. , He can send another three-time card for him to continue the experience, and then make a decision.

The young salesman personally brought Xiang Kun to familiarize himself with the equipment. In fact, when Xiang Kun was in college, he was taken by his roommate to the school gym for two semesters. The roommate is a fitness expert. With his guidance, Xiang Kun is a big deal. Some equipment can also be used skillfully, and the force-generating movements during exercise can also meet basic standards.

After a while, the young salesman answered the call and let Xiang Kun experience it by himself, and he left first.

Now it is less than three o'clock at noon, another working day, and there is no one in the gym. After Xiang Kun warmed up on the elliptical machine for a while, he began to do bench press.

In the beginning, he just added a 15KG barbell plate to find the feeling of exertion.After all, after graduation, he never went to the gym again and used these equipment.

Soon, a burly personal trainer with a height of nearly 1.9 meters walked to Xiang Kun's side, looked at Xiang Kun when he finished a set and added barbells, and said, "Your movements are not standard, practice. Be careful when you’re doing it. It’s best to find someone to watch over and be careful of getting injured. And if you continue to practice this action, your chest shape will be biased..."

Xiang Kun was a little speechless. If he hadn't experienced the body mutation caused by X, but just came over and wanted to get fit, he might really be bluffed by his words.

But now Xiang Kun, the bench press is subconsciously adjusted according to the feeling of the muscles of each part, and it is the most suitable exercise for him.

Xiang Kun naturally knew that the coach was talking to him, and the ultimate goal was to sell the private lessons. If he refused directly, it is estimated that other private teachers will come over soon, so he said to him: "Let's make a bet. Whose weight is heavier than the maximum weight of the bench press. If you win, I will buy you 20 lessons. If I win, how about you guarantee that I will not have other personal trainers in the gym come to talk to me in the future?"

The coach looked at Xiang Kun a little strangely. Could it be that this buddy was cautiously playing the 50KG bench press just now, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

However, he estimated Xiang Kun’s weight. He should be less than 1.8 meters tall, and his weight should not exceed 85KG. He weighed 97KG and kept training all the time. The ratio of strength should be steady to win, so he agreed to Xiang Kun’s Betting.

At the beginning, Xiang Kun added two 15KG barbell plates, plus a barbell bar with a total of 80KG. Under the protection of the coach, he successfully completed an action. Then he changed coaches and added a 5KG barbell plate with a total weight of 90KG. Finished in one click.

Switching to Kun again, the weight is increased to 100KG. This weight is already heavier in the gym. Almost no one will use this weight for group training by themselves, and there is not much that can be achieved at a single limit.

In fact, Xiang Kun himself doesn't know what the maximum weight he can lift right now, but after waking up today, he can clearly feel a significant increase in his strength, at least it was very easy when he pushed 80KG before.

Under the protection of the coach, 100KG was completed very simply and neatly.

Now the coach's face is a bit ugly. It is obvious that Xiang Kun is not a rookie, and his strength is quite strong.

Going up, the 2.5KG barbell plate was added up. Starting from 105KG, the coach was obviously struggling, and Xiang Kun started to stand behind to protect.

As for 110KG, Xiang Kun did not seem to have trouble lifting it.

115KG...

120KG...

125KG...

At this time, there were already two or three members who were also working out, and they were all very interested to see someone weighing a bench press with the coach.

When Xiang Kun pushed up 130KG, the coach looked at the barbell adjusted to 135KG, his face turned dark.

His usual limit is actually more than 135KG, but now he has lifted so many heavy weights in a row, although he paused and rested, but after so many consecutive times, his muscles still cannot recover.

I knew that I would directly put on the maximum weight, but at that time the coach felt that he could win without having to reach 100KG, but he didn't expect Xiang Kun to be so strong, and when he obviously pushed those weights, he was easier than him. many.

Finally, when the 135KG was pushed halfway, the coach had no strength to lift up. Fortunately, Xiang Kun was behind to protect him and help him lift the barbell.

Then switched to Kun, instead of pushing 135KG directly, he added 150KG.

Although he was betting with Xiang Kun, the coach was still very serious about protecting behind the barbell. If Xiang Kun missed and injured while betting with him, he would definitely be responsible.

Xiang Kun adjusted his grip, then lifted the barbell, dropped slowly, touched his chest muscles, and then steadily lifted, the whole process seemed to still be easy.

But after putting the barbell back in place, Xiang Kun also let out a sigh of relief.

It seems to be stable, but in fact, I have felt that the strength is somewhat on the verge of the limit. It is estimated that it may not be impossible to push up 160KG, but the movement will inevitably be deformed and borrowed.

After Xiang Kun got up from the tablet, the coach extended his thumb to him and admired: "Awesome! Really a master, this power is really not covered, 150KG is far from the limit! Brother, should you? He will be specialized in powerlifting, right?" Although he had barely pushed 150KG when he was in good condition, it was far from Xiang Kun's calm and gentle effort.Moreover, he has been adding weight from 100KG all the way, and Xiang Kun is the same, obviously crushing him in absolute strength and physical strength, and he is completely convinced.

"No, just practice to lose weight." Xiang Kun said, and went to the squat rack to measure the limit data of the squat.
