Chapter 107: Weightlifting
The development of things, as Wang Dong expected, when the other new armies did not know what this "sky-high earth" had to do with those stone wheels, Wang Dong had already gathered Li Er and the others in one place.
"Wang Lang, what do you call us to do?"
Everyone looked at Wang Dong in confusion, and everyone else focused on observing the situation on the martial arts field, but Wang Dong summoned them out of the crowd and deserted at the back, which in their opinion, was somewhat "not doing business".
Wang Dong glanced behind him, and then said, "This level, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
"I haven't compared, how did Wang Lang say such frustrating words." Li Er was a little unconvinced.
"That's it." And they all drank together.
Wang Dong turned sideways, and then stretched out his hand to point to the stone wheel on the martial arts field, where at the moment, the two stone wheels are connected by a lever, except that the material of the tool is far from the 21st century, and the other shapes are almost the same as the barbell of modern weightlifting.
"Have you seen that the lever and the stone wheel together weigh a stone, and which of you is sure to lift it above your head?"
"Raised overhead?" Everyone was surprised when they heard Wang Dong's dazzling eyes, "Wang Lang, you mean that this is the first round of the competition?" ”
Wang Dong nodded: "If there is no accident, it should be right." ”
"Hey, isn't it just the weight of a stone," Li Er patted his chest, "We can all carry it." ”
Wang Dong shook his head: "It's not to carry it, it's to lift it above his head in one breath." ”
"Raised overhead? Is it any different from carrying? ”
"Of course it's different," Wang Dong said, "when an object is raised, it needs to overcome gravity with the help of external forces, and according to the formula W = mgh, h is proportional to W, that is to say, the higher the object is lifted, the greater the work that needs to be done on the object, and the more difficult it is." ”
That's why the athletes in the Olympic weightlifting competition are short, because the taller they are, the more they need to lift and the more strenuous they are.
But Wang Dong's words, listening to the ears of Li Er and the others, are like listening to the book of heaven.
"What?"
"Say...... What are you talking about? ”
This is Li Er's respect for Wang Lang, so they didn't burst into foul language, if it was a different person, I am afraid that they would have slapped it and yelled "talk to people".
However, Wang Dong brought too much mystery to Li Er and the others, so they didn't regard Wang Dong's words as nonsense.
Wang Dong sighed, and said secretly in his heart: "Yes, I played the piano to the cow again." ”
"Let's put it this way, the weight of a stone, it may be easy to carry, but if you want to lift it above your head, it is not only the strength of your shoulders and arms, but most importantly, the strength of your wrists and legs." Countless images of defeat flashed in front of Wang Dong, including countless images of Olympic competitions that were held above his head but failed to stand still for three seconds and were judged to be defeated.
Lifting weights is easier said than done. Isn't it just lifting things above your head? But it tests almost every muscle in the human body. If you have a muscle defect, it is very difficult to lift the barbell from the ground in one go.
This is like the barrel theory, where the amount of water a barrel can hold does not depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank.
It is precisely because of this that weightlifting is so difficult for most people. But now, Li Er and the others have not yet understood the truth.
At this moment, the matchmaker appeared around Wang Dong and others again. Her appearance made Wang Dong immediately vigilant, and immediately shut up and didn't say more, but made a look with Li Er and the others, and everyone returned to the crowd again.
The matchmaker's gaze stayed on Wang Dong's back for a second with a slight meaning, and immediately returned to normal.
At this time, the simple barbell has been assembled, and the captain is standing in front of the participating team to explain the rules of the competition.
"Each team, each person has a chance to snatch the stone wheel, after the snatch is successful, the total score of the team will be averaged, and the ranking will be based on the average score, do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
"Okay, I'll tell you what counts as a successful snatch." The lieutenant continued, "Do you see the stone wheel over there? There are different weights, you can choose different stone wheels to match according to your ability, and then lift it above your head and turn it around in place, and you will be successful. ”
"Roar! ——”
The 12 participating teams, more than 110 recruits, shouted neatly, and all of them were full of spirit and gearing up, all wanting to show off their skills.
"Okay, which group will come first now?"
When the lieutenant set his eyes on the new recruits, everyone hesitated. After all, excitement is one thing, reality is another. In the face of this new thing that has never been tried before, these new troops obviously do not have full certainty in their hearts.
Because no one wants to be the first person to eat crabs, to be the guinea pig that tests for others? Forget it.
The lieutenant's voice lagged behind for a long time, and none of the new soldiers volunteered to challenge him, which inevitably seemed a little cold.
The commanders, generals and others on the high platform obviously felt that the atmosphere was not good, so under special instructions, Wang Li stood up and slowly came to the front of these participating teams. His gaze swept over them one by one.
When Wang Li's gaze swept over their faces, many of the new soldiers subconsciously dodged their gaze to the side, not daring to look at them.
Wang Li frowned slightly, obviously these new troops were not confident in new things, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that some people are needed to improve their self-confidence." When his gaze swept over Wang Dong and the others, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he already had an idea.
"Okay, let's take you to 'sacrifice the flag'." Wang Li's gaze fell on Wang Dong and the others here.
In Wang Li's view, this competition needs to have a back to start, the so-called back is how bad the performance is. Because of this, if there is dross in front, the other new armies will let go of their hands and feet, so that they will not have any scruples, anyway, there are worse ones in front of them, what are they afraid of.
And at present, it seems that except for Wang Dong's group, there is obviously no one else who is more suitable to be the "first person to eat crabs".
The captain on the side, seeing that Wang Li's eyes had been staring at Wang Dong's group, immediately understood, stepped forward, pointed at Wang Dong and said, "You group, go on!" ”
When the candidates were selected, the other competition teams couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and while secretly rejoicing, they waited for Wang Dong's group of "C-class soldiers" to make a fool of themselves with a lively heart.
