Chapter 6 Physical Fitness, the Whetstone of Tempering Will
The training proceeded in an orderly manner according to the plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The main class time is queue training, starting from basic movements such as standing upright, taking a break, walking in unison, and running.
Although they have been trained in military training in college, there is still a qualitative difference between military training in college and military training in the army.
Because, in the university, no matter how strict the instructor's requirements are during training, but in the implementation, because, after all, everyone's identity is a student, the instructor will still open up during training, if the student has not done it properly, it will generally not be particularly serious.
However, when it comes to the army, everyone's identity becomes a student, and it is completely different.
Yang Wenbin can basically adapt to queue training, because the current action is quite simple, as long as you follow the essentials of the action and persist a little longer, it will be fine.
For example, when practicing the standing posture, you just need to keep repeating the essentials of standing upright in your heart, and correct your mistakes and stubborn habits in time.
From top to bottom, first "the head should be straight", silently reciting "the eyes are looking ahead, the mouth is slightly closed, and the chin is slightly closed", and then "the neck should be straight", thinking about straightening the neck and exerting force backwards to prevent the head from stretching forward. "Shoulders should be flat", chest up, head up, shoulders slightly shrugged back. The fingers of the left and right hands are clasped at each knuckle of the index finger, the five fingers are brought together, and the middle finger is close to the trouser line. Clamp your legs together, keep your heels together, and extend your toes to the side to form a 60-degree angle between your heels. Lean forward slightly, placing your whole weight on the balls of your forefeet. After experiencing these movements, it is really not too tiring, and it is also a kind of fun.
When everyone was training, the squad leader Shang Changhong would walk in front of each comrade, explain the essentials of the movements, and correct the wrong movements. He was very patient and treated us like big brothers, without showing the slightest sign of impatience.
Everyone practiced very seriously. On a hot day, if you stand for more than ten minutes, sweat will run down your cheeks. What's more, each action should be insisted on for more than half an hour at the longest. Especially Song Feng, who is slightly chubby, can be offended. Fat people love to sweat, and he can be said to be sweating like rain, which is not excessive at all. But everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, and didn't want to give up even if the sweat wet their clothes.
Compared to long-distance running, the intensity of queue training is nothing in comparison.
From the first day of physical training, the journey of suffering began.
When the time for physical training was up, the soldiers of the company also gathered and went out for a run.
Yang Wenbin and the others were the same, when they returned to the dormitory, they changed out of their regular clothes and half-sleeves, and put on the colorful sports shirts they brought. The soldiers of the company have standard green pants, and their group of recruits can only wear them like this.
On the football field, the squad leader on duty led everyone to press their legs, move their muscles and bones, and prepare for the activities.
The squad leader takes everyone, and generally makes an eight-eight fu with one action. That is, the squad leader faces everyone, making movements, rhythmically shouting "one, two, three, four", everyone is below, following the action, shouting "five, six, seven, eight" in unison.
First the neck exercise, then the neck, chest, waist, hands, feet, after eight or eight beats of movement in each part, everyone is ready to run a long distance.
The shift leader said that long-distance running is a basic physical training for fighters. On the battlefield, if you can't keep up with the long-distance running, whether it is charging or retreating, you can only lag behind, and you may be captured or killed by the enemy. According to the training syllabus, the distance is five kilometers. Since our local college student soldiers have just arrived in the army, they still have to have a process of adaptation, so we first lowered the standard a little bit and ran three kilometers.
In fact, three kilometers is a huge challenge for most college students.
Since childhood, my body has been thin and weak, and among my peers, it is also relatively thin.
Yang Wenbin remembers that when he was in junior high school, his tablemate was a male classmate who liked sports, he had big shoulders and a round waist, and he was full of muscles. What he likes to do the most is to pinch Zhou Wenbin's thighs with both hands every day, so that his four fingers can touch. Then when he pinched his own thighs with the same hands, he could only reach the thumbs of both hands, and the little fingers were still more than ten centimeters long. Then, as in the movie, reach out to him with your little finger and give yourself a thumbs up. At this time, he was always very envious, thinking to himself, if when, his legs could grow so thick, it is estimated that his strength is enough, how good it would be!
By the time he was studying for the middle school, his body had basically not changed much, he was still so thin, but his muscles were much stronger than before, and he would master his balance. Pull-ups, horizontal bars, Trojan horses, that's when I learned it. The school attaches great importance to the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, and also attaches great importance to sports. In the spring sports meeting of the year of graduation, in order to add points to the class, he applied for long jump, javelin, 10,000-meter run and other events. Anything else is good to say, 10,000 meters run, 400 meters long track, a full 20 laps, so big, it's the first time. He didn't know how he got off the track at that time, his legs were like lead, he couldn't lift them, but his will supported him, and for the honor of the class, he had to persevere to the finish line. After reaching the finish line, he was so uncomfortable that he didn't dare to stop immediately, but jogged on the asphalt outside the track for more than 20 minutes before he dared to stop, almost dying of exhaustion.
When he went to college, every time he held a sports meeting, he also wanted to sign up, but when he looked at his usual grades, he didn't need to report at all, he was the last one.
Now that I'm in the army, physical fitness is a hurdle that must be passed, can I get through it? He didn't have any confidence in his heart.
After the preparation was done, the squad leader led them to rush out. During the 3-kilometer training of the troops, there was no special runway, but they rushed out of the small south gate along the asphalt road in the camp. At the beginning of running, no one dared to exhaust their strength at once, they all conserved their physical strength, followed behind the squad leader, and saved their physical strength. I saw that the soldiers of the company, some wearing physical training uniforms, some carrying backpacks, guns, harnesses, and even iron pots, shouted for joy and roared away past us.
About a kilometer or so, their team was scattered. There were only three or four people left behind the squad leader, most of whom were left behind one or two hundred meters away, and four or five fat men were either taking small steps and struggling to move forward, or they simply stopped running and walked there panting. However, no one completely stopped, and the first day of running should not be underestimated.
Yang Wenbin ran in the middle of the team, although he was almost at the limit, he didn't dare to slow down. He knows that sometimes, persistence is a breath of anger, and he must not be discouraged, he must persevere. At this time, he remembered the military song that he had already familiarized, pressed the weight under his left foot, and silently sang in his heart, "Forward forward, forward, forward, our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, shouldering the hope of the people, we are an invincible force...... and sang it again. Singing silently repeatedly, encouraging himself not to stop.
By this time, everyone was already sweating profusely. Sweat trickled down his cheeks, making his vision not very good. The sweat on his body was already soaking his shirt. After running about 500 meters, I reached the 3-kilometer turnaround point, which is halfway up a hill in front of me, still an asphalt road, but the path is so narrow that only one car can pass through. Here, Deputy Instructor Li Lihai stopped here and instructed the students who had come here to turn back.
After Yang Wenbin arrived at the turnaround point, he followed the command of the deputy instructor, turned his head, and met the students who were left behind. At this time, the legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they could not lift them. But he still ran as hard as he could.
Finally, I returned to the camp, and after entering the south gate, I entered the last 500 meters of the sprint line. He gritted his teeth, and also took a big step, speeding up the frequency. He could clearly hear his own heavy breathing, and tried to adjust, but only allowed himself to breathe more rapidly. There were still 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters to go, and at the last minute, I crossed the sprint line. I only listened to the leader of the other shift who was pinching the time checking the time, 14 minutes and 50 seconds, 14 minutes and 55 seconds, 56 seconds, okay, passed.
Hearing his words, Yang Wenbin, who had crossed the finish line, slowed down and slowly trotted on the asphalt road, waiting for the arrival of his comrades behind. 15 minutes and 5 seconds, 15 minutes and 30 seconds,......, when I found out 19 minutes and 20 seconds, the last little fat man came back, hehe, it was Song Feng, who got the first place, the countdown.
After the personnel arrived, the students were taken to the football field, and the team leader led everyone to start relaxation activities in various parts of the body. Then, the deputy instructor ordered each class to take it away and practice pulling the voice, which was taught by the class leader.
Standing in front of the team, with his feet spread apart, his left hand slightly clenched into a fist, and his right palm open, he waved it from the inside out, and first introduced us to the benefits and essentials of pulling our throats.
"Pulling the throat is a common training method after physical training in the army. Since after a long-distance run, all joints have been moved, especially the lungs, by pulling the throat, the exhaust gas in the lungs can be expelled as much as possible, and oxygen can be inhaled to the greatest extent, which is conducive to improving our lung capacity, and at the same time, it is also beneficial to open the voice, just like the vocal training of a singer."
"Come on, let's all experience it!" , and then began to command: "Ahhh--,h "Mi--Mi--Mi--Mi--Mi---, come! "Babble--babble--babble--, come! After changing three vocal methods, the students in the queue followed his example and also started their voices. Fortunately, I practiced vocalization in music classes in college, but that vocalization and the vocalization of the army are two different concepts. What you want in the school is beautiful, and what you want in the army is loud and neat.
After listening to the effect of pulling his throat, squad leader Shang began to correct everyone's voices, "Your voice is only not loud, because you didn't open your vocal voice", he paused, "Yes, it's a vocal voice." It's not a sound channel! Remind everyone that when you become a platoon commander in the future, you must also say the voice when you pull your voice, not the sound channel. Otherwise, it is easy to be ambiguous, and the warriors will laugh at you!" We couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
