Chapter 9: Test of Strength
Chapter 9: Test of Strength
After a while, the two arrived at their destination.
Looking at the large gym in front of me, the sign reads 'Wang Fei Fitness and Swimming & Seventh Branch'.
Wang Fei is Wang Lin's father.
As the intensity of exercise increased, some simple running, jumping and standing could no longer meet Yang Yu's requirements.
These well-equipped gyms come in handy.
"Welcome, Young Master Wang. Why did you decide to come to our store today?" When the manager of the gym saw Wang Lin coming, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Well, come and exercise to relax when you are tired from studying. This is my good brother Yang Yu. You should immediately apply for a supreme VIP card for him. From now on, all his expenses in the gym will be charged to my account."
Wang Lin instructed calmly.
As the leading fitness and swimming enterprise in Jiangnan City, the words of Wang Fei Fitness Center, the only son of their boss, Wang Lin, are extremely valuable.
"Okay, young master. I'll do it for your friend right away."
"You do it first and come get it when we leave."
After giving the instructions, Wang Lin took Yang Yu to the training room exclusively for VIP guests.
'Ding~'
Wang Lin took out an exquisite card that was shining with light golden light and opened a door.
Inside is the exercise room that can only be entered by those with a supreme VIP card.
Looking at the luxurious and neat configuration in front of him, Yang Yu couldn't help but sigh that it's really good to be rich.
"Brother Yu, let's sit down and digest the food first, and by the way, you can tell me how to practice next."
"Okay." Sitting on the soft sofa for rest, Yang Yu explained in detail how an ordinary person should exercise at the beginning, and then how to further increase the intensity of training and practice advanced boxing.
Wang Lin is not stupid. On the contrary, he is much smarter than ordinary people. He can grasp these simple contents after just listening to them.
This was also due to the fact that he had already learned some common sense about exercise.
It’s just that Yang Yu’s explanation is more professional and detailed.
"So, I only need to do simple running, standing and push-ups at the beginning to improve my physical fitness first, and then practice boxing after reaching a certain level."
"Yes, this is how martial arts are practiced step by step. The foundation must be laid well. Only in this way can we meet the requirements that follow."
"No problem, I'll get up and start running tomorrow!" Wang Lin agreed readily. When he thought of Yang Yu's dashing punch, he was full of motivation.
"Since I have nothing to do now, I will tell you about the breathing and meditation methods that go with the exercise."
Next, Yang Yu explained to Wang Lin the tricks of these two methods in detail, and did not stop until Wang Lin had mastered them.
"What a magical breathing method! I feel like all the food I ate is almost digested!"
"Haha, this breathing method is to enhance digestion and speed up the absorption of food energy. It is normal to have this effect." Yang Yu was very satisfied when he saw that Wang Lin had basically mastered the trick of Dantian Breathing Method in just half an hour.
"The meditation method is a little difficult. I will study it slowly when I go back home in the evening." Wang Lin said happily.
He felt a difference just by mastering the breathing technique.
It turns out that martial arts is what men should pursue!
"You can't chew too much. I will slowly teach you the Siming Internal Martial Arts and Xingyi Martial Arts. Now that the food is almost digested, let's do some basic strength training first."
Yang Yu said as he came to the fitness equipment, pointed at the barbell in front of him and said to Wang Lin, "Let's test your strength first."
"Okay, I also want to know how powerful I am."
As he said that, Wang Lin excitedly set the weight of the barbell to 50 kilograms.
Seeing that Wang Lin wanted to try the 50-kilogram barbell as soon as he arrived, Yang Yu did not stop him, but let him try it first.
An ordinary person like Wang Lin who has basically never exercised and is not yet a full-grown adult can only lift about 30 to 40 kilograms.
Wang Lin used all his strength, his face turned red, but he could only lift the 50-kg barbell to his chest and could not lift it above his head.
Feeling that he really couldn't lift it, Wang Lin didn't try to be brave and just put the barbell down. "Huh~ I didn't think lifting a 50kg barbell was a big deal before, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
"I estimate that I can only lift about 40 kilograms at most. Brother Yu, how much can you lift?"
"I haven't tried it yet, but I feel like I've gained a lot of strength recently, so today is a good time to try it."
As Yang Yu spoke, he walked to the 50-kilogram barbell, weighed it with both hands, and when he felt there was no pressure, he directly snatched it over his head.
The whole process was as easy as lifting a piece of bread.
Wang Lin even wondered if the barbell had become lighter.
After lifting it a few times, Yang Yu did feel that the 50kg barbell was too light, so he put it down and directly increased the weight to 100kg.
Yang Yu felt a little pressure now, but after calming down, he exerted force and lifted the 100-kilogram barbell directly over his head!
"Wow, Brother Yu is born with supernatural powers."
Wang Lin, who had been observing quietly, immediately flattered Yang Yu happily after seeing him lift a genuine 100-kilogram barbell.
Wang Lin was really impressed by Yang Yu, who was the same age as him and had never exercised seriously before, but was now able to lift a barbell that was heavier than his weight in one go.
"Haha, it's just a warm-up. I haven't reached my limit yet."
Yang Yu put down the barbell and continued to increase the weight, and stopped only when he reached 200 kilograms.
"Brother Yu, do you really want to try something this heavy?"
"Well, give it a try."
As he spoke, Yang Yu slowly lifted the 200-kilogram barbell above his head in front of Wang Lin's shocked gaze.
"Wow! Brother Yu, you are so awesome!"
It was not until Yang Yu gently put down the barbell that Wang Lin recovered from his shock and began to flatter him crazily.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think, "Is this a genius? Not only can he easily get first place in his grade in the best high school in the city or even the province, but now he can even reach a level of martial arts that ordinary people dare not even think about in a short period of time."
"My brother Yu is truly a god!"
At this moment, Wang Lin even had the idea of hugging her thigh.
"Haha, it's just a 200-kilogram barbell. It can't be called divine power." Yang Yu said indifferently.
After experiencing the feeling of lifting a 200-kilogram barbell, Yang Yu knew that this was not his limit!
Maybe 250 kg is his current limit?
As Yang Yu's practice of Siming Internal Martial Arts, Xingyiquan and meditation deepened, his control over his own strength became more and more precise.
After all, the primary purpose of internal martial arts is to maintain health, and fighting the enemy is secondarily.
By practicing internal martial arts combined with breathing techniques and meditation, Yang Yu has now achieved a complete harmony between his soul and body. His control over his body has greatly improved, and his perception of strength has also become much more precise.
A brief experience of the feeling of lifting 100 kg and 200 kg barbells will help you roughly figure out your own limit.
"It seems that the Olympic champion's clean and jerk record for the 73kg class is only 198kg. Brother Yu, you have broken the weightlifting record for this weight class right now, and you still have a year before you turn . This is of course a divine power!"
Just now, Wang Lin took out his mobile phone and checked the world weightlifting record.
