"The 9th World Athletics Championships ended the last day of competition in the early morning of September 1, Beijing time, and the top three in the medal table are the United States (10 gold, 8 silver and 2 bronze), Russia (6 gold, 8 silver and 5 bronze), and Ethiopia (3 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze). The Chinese team, which did not win a medal at the last World Championships, ranked 27th among all participating countries with two bronze medals......"

Feng Shuyong, assistant director of the track and field center and head coach of the track and field team, said that the Chinese track and field team has made a major breakthrough in this World Championships, winning two bronze medals, and also winning a fourth place and four seventh places, which is a great improvement compared with the previous year. When two yellow-skinned runners appeared on the starting line of the 110-meter hurdles, which has traditionally been dominated by European and American athletes, it was a kind of ......"

Su Zu was standing in a lounge of the training base, watching the track and field athletes returning from the World Championships on TV, when suddenly the screen went black, and Li Zhizhong came over in the lounge at some point.

"Don't look at it, it's someone else's if you look at it again, go for a physical examination."

"Okay." Su Zu nodded, got up and followed Li Zhizhong out of the lounge.

The World Championships have passed, and the athletes who finished the competition have returned to China, and everything still has to look forward.

"How are you feeling lately?" On the way, Li Zhizhong glanced up and down at Su Zu and asked, the two of them are now going to the athletes' medical clinic at the training base.

"It's good, the muscles are stronger, well, the chest muscles seem to be a little bigger." Su Zu made a bodybuilding move and teased with a smile.

"It's good to gain muscle, and I'll see the results of your two months of training." Li Zhizhong looked at Su Zu's movements and laughed as well.

Su Zu feels that he has been really good lately, and in the past few months, he feels that the effect of strength training is particularly effective.

It turned out that Li Zhizhong's strength training was very effective, and after May, because there was no constraint from Lu Jianming, the training plan formulated could be strictly implemented. Coupled with Su Zu's focused training, there was no outside interference, and the progress of improving his strength seemed to be back to the same as when he was in Hedao City, looking at his body shape, it seemed that there had not changed much, but he himself could feel that his chest muscles, leg circumference, and arm circumference were a lot thicker.

The strength of the squat has risen from 120-130 kg in May to about 150 kg now, and the strength of the leg press is more than 450 kg.

Since entering the national team last year, Lu Jianming found another assistant coach in charge of physical fitness and strength in the track and field team, and the strength training plan for Su Zu was either too loose or too low in intensity, or it was all piled up together, and there was no time to adjust.

Lu Jianming doesn't pay enough attention to strength training, and he usually trains a lot of running and jumping, and the strength increase in that half a year is indeed in a semi-stagnant state.

Moreover, Su Zu saw in the data attribute panel that among the various physical attributes, his strength value increased by 2 points again from May to September, reaching 27 points.

Li Zhizhong's training level in other aspects, Su Zu didn't dare to say how good it was, but he was indeed the top coach in terms of physical fitness and strength training.

Especially strength, which is also a core of Li Zhizhong's coaching. He is not like other coaches, every time he stares at Su Zu's training, how much he ran this time, how much he ran next time, whether he has improved, and whether he has regressed. It's about laying a solid foundation and improving the essentials.

During the time when Su Zu left Hedao City, Lao Li himself was still talking about the head coach of the badminton team and found him and specially formulated a strength training plan for Zhen Long. He once worked as a physical fitness coach for Ji Xingpeng, the badminton men's singles champion.

Seeing that the National Track and Field Championships are about to begin, today is to go to the sports medical center for a comprehensive physical examination, one is to take a look at the training results of the past few months, and the other is to check the physical condition of the athletes, whether there are injuries and some hidden dangers.

An hour later.

In front of the medical center, Li Zhizhong held Su Zu's physical examination report, and a smile appeared on his face.

"How's that, Coach? Don't just laugh and talk to me about the situation. ”

"How much did you weigh before?" Li Zhizhong handed the report to Su Zu and asked.

"It's like one hundred and thirty-nine or one hundred and forty." Su Zu took the report and recalled that he had a medical examination when he went to Linz to compete in the indoor competition in March, and he only glanced at it at that time, and he was not sure.

"Weight 72.6kg, height 182.6cm......" Su Zu looked at the report in his hand, silently recited, and suddenly couldn't help but scream, "I'm so much heavier?!" ”

He now eats almost every meal with a strange taste, but he didn't expect to gain so much weight. You must know that although he eats a lot, he also consumes a lot of money. Although I felt a lot stronger, I didn't dare to think about weighing four or five pounds all at once.

"Also, it's not just that, you look at the body fat percentage?" Li Zhizhong pointed to one item in the report and continued.

Su Zu looked at the position of Li Zhizhong's finger, "The body fat rate is 9.2%. ”

"That's right, your body fat has dropped, although your weight has increased, but in terms of body shape, it doesn't look much different from before, well, your muscles will be more shapely."

"It's not in vain that I ate such a nutritious meal."

Su Zu exclaimed excitedly and sighed greatly. It turns out that although there are menus, there are still some flavors. But after Li Zhizhong came, he formulated a special diet for strength training, excluding the food containing fat, and there was no taste, and the taste was a bit obedient.

I once watched the news that Da Yao entered the NBA to eat a nutritious meal until he vomited, and he especially missed soaking rice, and Su Zu now feels the same way.

It's really the only recipe that sticks to this recipe for a few months and has a deep craving for foods like fried chicken and grilled fish.

However, although it is unpalatable, it seems that it is still very effective now, when he first entered the national team, the body fat detected was still more than 10 percent, and now it has dropped to more than 9.0 percent, which is a great breakthrough.

Weight gains, body fat drops, and muscle mass gains dramatically, which is why his recent increase in strength has been so noticeable.

"By the way, how has your baton handover technique been trained lately?"

The two came out of the transportation hospital, and Li Zhizhong suddenly remembered Su Zu's training in the afternoon.

"It should be okay." Su Zu thought for a while, "The upward lifting style may be more convenient, and the downward pressing type will not drop the stick, but I don't dare to start too fast." ”

The technical specifications of the relay baton are generally two types: upward and downward pressing.

The upward lift type is mainly the arm of the baton person naturally stretching out backwards, the thumb and other four fingers are open, and the tiger's mouth is downward. Wait for the baton bearer behind to pick up the baton and put it into the palm of the baton's mouth. The advantage of this method is that the movements of the baton bearer and the baton bearer can be more natural, and if there are no mistakes, the movements are relatively fast. The disadvantage is that the baton taker generally grabs the middle of the baton, which is not suitable for passing to the next baton.

The downward pressure type is that the arm and wrist of the baton receiver are rotated, the palm is up, and the tiger's mouth is facing backwards, and the baton bearer is put into the hands of the baton receiver from top to bottom.

Su Zu will spare a day and a half every week to train on baton handover techniques under the guidance of relay team coach Yuan Guohua. Because at the moment, his cornering skills are relatively rough, mainly concentrated in the second and fourth sticks, especially the sprint straight run of the fourth stick.

Because the second baton not only has to take the first baton, but also hand over the third baton, which requires a very superb baton handover technique, and the fourth baton is mainly to take the baton, and then sprint in the straight rush.

Although Su Zu is a substitute member of the relay team, his personal ability is already the top level in China, and Yuan Guohua has always felt that letting Su Zu join the relay team will definitely be able to improve the overall performance of the relay team to a higher level.

The technique is not afraid, his coach does this, and he will naturally become familiar with it when he practices slowly, run in more and train more, and cultivate tacit understanding. With such a strong relay team substitute here, he, as the head coach of the relay team, will naturally feel much more at ease. When the relay team was at its worst, there was an injury to a team member, and as a result, he went to the long jump team to find a strong sprinter to replace him.

"Well, let's get ready, I'll go to the magic capital to participate in the complete championship in two days, and I'm going to go abroad to participate in the Asian Championships soon. Maybe you have a chance to run a relay race, so be careful and don't drop the chain at the critical moment, this is a team event. ”

September has already begun, and it's time to test the results of training on the field.
