Chapter Seventy-Five: Hercules' 165 Kilograms
Ten minutes later, seeing that no one had registered, Ma Ning immediately announced the official start of the competition.
"Let's have the gym participants give the big guy a sample first." Ma Ning said with a smile.
A participating coach walked out of the crowd and lay on a bench.
The staff on the side began to add weight to the barbell, looking at their struggling appearance, the barbell plate was obviously not light.
Yi Dun watched from the sidelines, listening to Ma Ning's explanation.
The competition barbell is a standard men's barbell, two meters long and weighing twenty kilograms!
That's right, just that barbell rod weighs forty pounds......
There were many old men and old ladies in the crowd of onlookers, and when they heard that the pole alone weighed forty pounds, they couldn't help but gasp.
In addition to the weight of the 20 kilograms of the barbell rod, there is a clamp for the barbell plate at each end, and each weighs five pounds.
It is equivalent to saying that if a barbell piece is not put in, the bare rod alone weighs fifty pounds.
The coach who was the first to appear on the stage first asked the staff to add a red barbell plate at both ends of the barbell.
Depending on the color of the barbell plates, it is easy to distinguish the weight of the barbell plates.
For example, the red barbell plate weighs 25 kg per piece, the blue piece weighs 20 kg per piece, and then the yellow plate weighs 15 kg, the green plate weighs 10 kg, and the white plate weighs 5 kg.
Then the 2.5 kg barbell plate turned red again, because the size difference was large, so there was definitely no confusion, and the 2 kg was blue.
Anyway, in the order of red, blue, yellow, green and white, the cycle is two, the largest is 25 kg of red, and the smallest is 0.5 kg of white barbell plates.
When these two large red barbell plates are added, the weight reaches 75 kilograms.
The coach also directed the staff to continue to increase the weight, and added two 10-kilogram green barbell plates on both sides.
With a weight of up to 95 kilograms, many spectators applauded.
With a weight of nearly 200 catties, in their opinion, it belongs to the level of innate divine power.
The bench press is definitely a new thing in Songyang, most people don't know the difficulty of the bench press, they just think that if a person can lift 200 pounds of things, it is a pretty remarkable thing.
is already a strong man.
Probably stimulated by the cheers of the melon-eating crowd, the coach pushed it up easily.
After a short break, thirty seconds later, he was back on the bench.
This time he added two white barbell plates, which is an extra ten kilograms.
The weight of 105 kilograms made the scene cheer.
Yi Dun was a little amused in his heart, in fact, the weight of this hundred or so kilograms is really nothing, and it is really not worth such cheers.
This time, the participating coaches were a little struggling, and the whole face was red, and the general was pushed up, a little reluctantly.
Next, the participating coach had no intention of continuing to increase the weight, and 105 kg was his final result.
"A very good result, 105 kilograms is far beyond ordinary people." Ma Ning yelled excitedly.
"Young man, that's more than 200 pounds, can you do it?" The old man beside Yi Dun asked Yi Dun who was unwilling to be lonely.
Yi Dun grinned and said, "Men can't say no, don't worry, I have to surprise you a little." ”
……
Next is the second participating coach on the stage, this person's strength is not as strong as the person just now, pushing a 100 kilograms is extremely difficult, but the onlookers still applaud loudly, anyway, it is all a lively picture, and it doesn't cost money to applaud.
There are a total of four participants, and now the first two have finished pushing, and it is time for the highlight of the game.
"Which of you goes first?" Manin asked at Eden and Barkley.
Without waiting for Yi Dun to speak, Barkley directly said a few words to Xia Jiuli.
"He said he was going to be on the court first, and he was going to make this kid cry so that he didn't have the guts to get on the bench!"
"Hey, hey, don't stare at me, I'm just a translator, I'll translate whatever he says."
Seeing Yi Dun glaring at him, Xia Jiuli hurriedly took two steps back and said loudly.
Yi Dun is actually quite puzzled now, this Xia Jiuli seems to have a grudge against his employer, why is he always helping to attract hatred.
Yi Dun didn't bother to talk nonsense now, and stood where he was, waiting to see what this American Hercules was capable of.
"Four big red barbell plates!"
"Two big blue barbell plates!"
Barkley told Xia Jiuli how much weight he was going to add.
Xia Jiuli shouted at the top of his throat like the little two who served food in the inn.
The scene gasped.
Four large red barbell plates are 100 kilograms, and two blue pieces are 40 kilograms, counting the original weight, the total weight of this bench press is 165 kilograms?!
Even if they don't know much about bench press, the audience is terrified.
In their opinion, the two coaches who participated just now were already considered strongmen, but these two strongmen seemed to be completely inadequate in front of this big American fat man.
With a direct 165kg on the first attempt, it looks like his limit is definitely a little higher.
Yi Dun also couldn't help but feel spirited, it seems that this pheasant Hercules still has some strength, at least a little stronger than he thought.
However, if there is only such a little strength, Yi Dun dares to guarantee that this product will definitely make a fool of itself today.
On the bench, Barkley let out a loud shout and pushed the 165-kilogram weight up.
The scene was silent, and they couldn't help but look at Yi Dun with worry.
The strength of this American Hercules is so amazing that Eden is going to lose the game nine times out of ten.
"It's okay, little brother, you're still young now, this stupid fat is estimated to be thirty-five or sixteen, even if you lose, we won't be ashamed."
"That's right, or don't compare, I think this thing is quite dangerous, if it doesn't support it and smash it in the chest, it will definitely be a small life."
A few people persuaded Yi Dun out of good intentions.
Yi Dun waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry.
The bench press is a sport that does have a certain amount of danger.
If the bench press fails, it weighs hundreds of pounds and smashes directly into the chest, which makes people's scalp tingle just thinking about it.
In addition to the danger of the barbell bar falling off, it is also extremely dangerous for athletes to use too much force and cause the liver to rupture.
It is not unheard of in history when athletes have lost their lives because of bench presses.
But Yi Dun didn't have this kind of worry, he wasn't the kind of person who didn't have a point in his heart.
Athletes naturally want to pursue their personal limits, but they don't have to gamble with their lives.
Yi Dun knows his own strength, and he will never do stupid things that may endanger his life.
I am old, and I am still two old singles, and my little life is extremely precious, so I can't explain it casually.
In the school's training room before, Yi Dun practiced bench press several times with the help of Ma Shanyong.
According to Ma Shanyong, that is, the data from the training does not allow Yi Dun to tell anyone, and he must be absolutely tight-lipped!
