Chapter 7: Strength

I measured the chest circumference, waist circumference, and arm circumference, and all increased it, and took a few photos, and the body fat continued to decline, although the abdominal muscles still did not have obvious eight lines, but the overall muscle mass was significantly improved.

He did a few push-ups, and it was indeed easier than before, and he did not feel the limit even after 70 push-ups in the standard push-ups.

But instead of doing it any further, he stopped and picked up his phone to find the nearest gym nearby.

Freehand movements such as push-ups can be used to count the extent of improvement at the beginning when the basic strength is relatively poor, but when the basic strength reaches a certain level, it is not easy to count, or it takes too much time.

Relatively speaking, the equipment in the gym can make a more specific data assessment of one's own body strength.

After Xiang Kun went to the gym, he asked for a half-weekly or monthly card to experience it first, and the young salesman who received him directly gave him a three-time experience card, and told him that if he couldn't decide whether to apply for a membership card after three times, he could send another three-time card for him to continue the experience and make a decision.

In fact, when Xiang Kun was in college, he was also taken to the school gym by his roommate for two semesters.

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

It's less than three o'clock at noon, it's a weekday again, and there is no one in the gym, so Xiang Kun warmed up on the elliptical machine for a while and then started doing bench presses.

At first, he just added a 15KG barbell plate to find the feeling of force. After all, since graduating, he has never been to the gym and used these equipment.

Soon, a burly personal trainer with a height of nearly 1.9 meters walked to Xiang Kun's side, and when Xiang Kun finished a group of barbell plates, he said: "Your action is not very standard, be careful when practicing, it's best to find someone to watch on the side, be careful of injury." And if you practice this action, I'm afraid you'll be able to practice the breast shape......"

Xiang Kun was a little speechless, if he hadn't suffered the physical mutation caused by X, but just came over by himself to get fit and shape, maybe he would really be bluffed by his words.

But now Xiang Kun, the bench press action is subconsciously adjusted according to the feeling of muscle output in each part, which is the most suitable force action for him.

Xiang Kun naturally knew that this coach was talking to him, and the ultimate goal was to sell personal training lessons, if he refused directly, it was estimated that there would be other personal trainers coming over soon, so he said to him: "How about we make a bet, we are heavier than the maximum weight of the bench press, who pushes up heavier, 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 to talk to me in the future?"

The coach glanced at Xiang Kun a little strangely, could it be that this guy just took a 50KG weight bench press and was still cautious, he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

However, he estimated Xiang Kun's weight, and saw that his height should be less than 1.8 meters, and his weight should not exceed 85KG, and he weighed 97KG, and he has been training, so he agreed to Xiang Kun's bet.

At the beginning, Xiang Kun added two 15KG barbell plates, plus a total of 80KG barbell rods, and successfully completed an action under the protection of the coach, and then changed the coach, and added 5KG barbell plates on the other side, with a total weight of 90KG, which was also completed at once.

Then switch to Kun, the weight is increased to 100KG, this weight is already relatively heavy in the gym, almost no one will use this weight to do group training, and there are not many that can be achieved in a single limit.

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

Under the protection of the coach, 100KG is very neatly done.

At this moment, the coach's face was a little unsightly, it was obvious that Xiang Kun was not a rookie, and his strength was quite strong.

FURTHER UP, THE 2.5KG BARBELL PLATE WAS ADDED TO THE SIDE, STARTING FROM 105KG, THE COACH WAS OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE STRUGGLING, AND XIANG KUN ALSO BEGAN TO STAND BEHIND TO PROTECT.

AND 110KG, Xiang Kun DIDN'T LOOK LIKE HE HAD TO LIFT IT WITH MUCH EFFORT.

115KG......

120KG......

125KG......

At this time, there were already two or three members who were also working out, and they were very interested when they saw someone comparing bench press weights with the coach.

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

His usual limit is actually more than 135KG, but now he has lifted so many large weights in a row, although there are pauses and rests in between, but after so many times in a row, his muscles still can't recover.

I knew that I would go directly to the maximum weight, but at that time, the coach thought that he could win without 100KG at all, but he didn't expect Xiang Kun to be so strong, and when he obviously pushed those weights, it was much easier than him.

Finally, when the 135KG was pushed halfway, the coach had no strength to lift it, but fortunately, Xiang Kun protected him in the back and helped him hold up the barbell and put it away.

Then switching to Kun, he did not push 135KG directly, but added it to 150KG.

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

Xiang Kun adjusted the grip distance, then lifted the barbell, slowly fell, lightly touched the chest muscles, and then lifted it steadily, and the whole process seemed to be still at ease.

However, after returning the barbell to its position, Xiang Kun also let out a long sigh.

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

After Xiang Kun got up from the tablet, the coach stretched out a thumbs up to him and admired: "Awesome! It's really a master, this strength is really not covered, I'm afraid 150KG is far from the limit! Brother, you shouldn't be a special powerlifter, right?" Although he was in a good state, he had barely pushed 150KG, but compared to Xiang Kun's light wind and one go, it was far behind. And he came up from 100KG all the way up, and Xiang Kun was the same, obviously crushing him in absolute strength and physical strength, and he was completely convinced.

"No, I'm just practicing to lose weight. Xiang Kun said, and went to the squat rack again, ready to measure the limit data of the squat.
