Chapter 54: How Can I Be Physically Strong?
The 129 gold medals created the highest number of gold medals in the East Asian Games, and the 272 silver medals and 314 bronze medals were also the most in the history.
However, the athletes did not rest complacent about their performance at the East Asian Games, but immediately threw themselves into a new round of preparation after returning home, because the Athens Olympics in four months will be the final stage for them to show themselves.
"Due to the invitation of the IAAF, our track and field team has 3 wild card qualifications for the Golden League in the past four months, namely the Paris station on June 21, the Moscow station on July 12 and the Zurich station on August 1, originally this quota should be you, Zhang Bang and Liu Haijian three people to divide, but now Zhang Bang is injured, Liu Haijian has decided to conduct a closed training camp before the Olympic Games, so Liu Bin let me ask your opinion." Just one day after returning home, the new task of the competition was conveyed again.
"Oh? Can I participate in both? Lee Hsien Fung asked eagerly, because he has been practicing sprinting for more than two years and has never appeared in an official international competition, and he is eager to compete with the top athletes before the Olympics, of course, the more opportunities the better!
"In principle, you can, but I don't recommend that you do that?" Coach Yuan denied it.
"Because of the long interval between these three competitions, if you want to participate in the competition, it will inevitably lead to your usual unsystematic training, which will not only not have the effect of exercising, but also affect your Olympic performance."
"That's right." Li Xianfeng calmed down and thought about it, what Coach Yuan said did make sense, "Then which station should I participate in?" ”
"I suggest you participate in the Zurich competition, there are three benefits, first, April to July is the end of a training cycle, participating in the competition can test your training results, second, Switzerland is very close to Athens, when the competition is over, we can fly to Athens in advance for adaptation training, third, there should not be many top masters in Zurich, so that you can run two more shots, maybe you have a chance to break into the finals!" Coach Yuan explained thoughtfully.
"Huh? Didn't have a master in Zurich? What's the point of that! Lee Hsien Fung was a little upset because his purpose in participating in international competitions was to compete with these masters in the golden age of sprinting.
"Xianfeng, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk little by little, you can't fight against these masters in the Olympics! That's why it's important for you to gain experience in Zurich first. ”
In the end, Coach Yuan persuaded the unwilling Li Xianfeng to sign up for the Zurich station, and the remaining two stations were naturally divided between Zhang Jiakai and Cheng Xiang.
"In the next three months, I'm going to let you do more strength training, which will be good for your performance." After talking about the game, Coach Yuan talked about the recent training arrangements.
"Finally going to strength training?" Li Xianfeng was overjoyed, because of Li Xianfeng's age problem before, Coach Yuan felt that premature strength training would help the seedlings, so he only guided Li Xianfeng in terms of technique and physical fitness, but now the Olympics are coming soon, in order to ensure that Li Xianfeng's performance can make a breakthrough, Coach Yuan decided to take some strength training.
"Actually, I still think it's a bit early to get on the strength now, but Gao Song and Pei Xiaoxiao both said that you can go to the power, and I can only let you try it for the sake of results in these three months." Coach Yuan sighed as he spoke, he was still worried that Li Xianfeng's age would be too young and he would not be adaptable, but under Gao Song's repeated assurances and the pressure of results, Yuan Cheng finally nodded.
"It's okay Coach Yuan, I've been ready for a long time!" Li Xianfeng replied confidently, because he felt that his newly acquired skills were related to strength training.
"As a sprinter, the most important thing is the strength of the legs and waist and abdomen, the strength of the legs determines your explosiveness, the strength of the waist and abdomen determines your staying power, of course, the strength of other parts is also very important, but the time is limited and your age, we mainly practice these two places in these three months!" Gao Song gave Li Xianfeng a brief introduction to the parts to be trained intensively.
"Actually, squat training is the most suitable for exercising leg muscles, but because you still have to grow taller, we don't need it, but I suggest that you practice more in the future, not only to improve your performance!" Gao Song patted Li Xianfeng, who was almost 1.8 meters tall, meaningfully, "Come, first do 4 groups of sitting instrument leg flexion and extension, a group of 8." ”
The so-called seated instrument leg flexion and extension is to sit on the mechanical chair, exert force on the thighs, slowly straighten the legs forward, and then the knee joint should be bent to a certain extent, and after a short stay, the legs are slowly lowered back to the original position. This is a piece of cake for Li Xianfeng, and it took less than 10 minutes to finish easily.
"Pretty fast!" Takamatsu smiled mysteriously.
"Next, let's do two ends (everyone who doesn't understand this can Baidu on their own, saving me the number of water words). Do three sets of 10 each" This is not difficult for Li Xianfeng, and it is easy to complete in less than 10 minutes.
"Good, then three sets of instruments flexion and extension!" Gao Song smiled and asked Li Xianfeng to continue, at this time Li Xianfeng finally felt a little wrong, and sure enough, the next training Gao Song either asked Li Xianfeng to do equipment flexion and extension or two ends, except for a 15-minute jogging and 15 minutes of coordination training interspersed in the middle, all of them were these two trainings.
"That's boring, isn't it?" Li Xianfeng felt the soreness of his body while carrying out boring training, feeling that his body and spirit were tortured.
"Li Xianfeng, you have to insist! These two exercises are the strength training that least affects physical development, and you have to stick to it for the sake of your future! Gao Song shouted in Li Xianfeng's ear.
"Hold on!" Li Xianfeng only had these two words left in his heart, whenever he was about to hold on, he imagined Hirota's arrogant face, and then imagined how desperate Hirota would be if he surpassed Shen Wu in the Athens Olympics, and at this time Li Xianfeng's body would emerge with a force.
"Very well done!" Finally, the three-hour strength training was over, and Gao Song massaged Li Xianfeng while saying, "We will do this training once every three days, until your body adapts, and we will change it to once every two days." ”
"Why don't you practice every day?" Although the training was very painful, Li Xianfeng also fought hard for the sake of results.
"I can't stand it when you're training your knees! Okay, go to bed! Takamatsu stopped the massage and signaled that his night's devil training was officially over.
"But why is this strong physique still 0/100, did I get a fake skill?" Li Xianfeng, who returned to the dormitory and was lying on the bed, was worried about the unchanged skill progress bar in his mind.
