Chapter 4: Cardio and Strength Exercises
Wang Xijia has developed a rich fitness plan for herself, combining aerobic and anaerobic. Every morning, I get up and jog for an hour, skip rope for 10 minutes, and warm up with a set of military physical boxing that I learned during military training.
100 wide push-ups, 100 narrow push-ups, and 100 high-five push-ups.
Do pull-ups in groups of 10 and do 3 sets with 60 seconds of rest in each set.
Burpees jump in groups of 20, rest for 30 seconds in each set, and do 3 sets.
100 freehand squats.
A group of 100 starts at both ends of the group body and makes 5 groups.
Do 5 sets of 200 sit-ups.
Wang Xijia attaches the most importance to jumping rope and pull-ups, because he knows that jumping and stretching are very important for growing taller. He was pleasantly surprised by the fact that due to his light weight, pull-ups were much easier than before the crossing, and could be raised to a group of 20.
Due to the long-term lack of exercise in his new body, after the first day of training, Wang Xika only felt that his whole body was sore, and he couldn't move, and he collapsed in bed and rested for 72 hours before recovering.
Fortunately, after resting, the body gradually adapted to the training intensity, and the air quality in this era is very good, and doing aerobic exercise is a pleasure. After two weeks of training like this, the abdominal muscles are already very obvious, of course, because he is relatively thin. Although Wang Xijia strengthened protein supplementation, due to the lack of equipment training, muscle circumference still could not go up. He made a sandbag and kicked and punched every day, but it still couldn't completely replace strength training.
He had to call Miss Meng over for an exchange.
"Miss Meng, I've been here for a month, and I haven't asked for your name yet?"
Since Wang Xijia fell ill this time, he has done all kinds of strange things. Miss Meng was already surprised, and replied in a procrastinated voice: "Yo, what kind of kung fu have you practiced, but your memory is getting worse and worse, you don't even remember what my name is, do you remember your own surname?"
Wang Xijia said: "Recently, I have mainly done aerobic exercise to improve physical fitness and exercise cardiopulmonary function, in order to seek revenge on Peng Lianhu." Let's not talk about that, what's your name? To be honest, I really don't know, I haven't forgotten. ”
"I see that you practice this kung fu, don't tie the horse and don't walk the plum blossom pile, you have to lie in bed for three days after practicing for a day, there are many martial arts practitioners in this world, and there is no such practice method as you......"
"Stop talking nonsense, what the hell are you calling?"
"My name is Meng Jianniang, do you want to tattoo it on your back, so that you won't be able to remember it all day?"
"That's not necessary, I'll remember now. As long as I don't travel back in time, I won't forget your name. ”
"Well, thank you then, and remember the villain's name. ”
"Miss Meng, I want to ask you if we have any key things here, such as dumbbells, barbells or something?"
"I haven't heard of what you said, but there are heavy things, there are stone locks and grinding plates in the courtyard, and you can lift them if you like. ”
Wang Xijia went to the courtyard to take a look, sure enough, there was a stone lock, I tried to mention it a few times, I always felt awkward, and it is estimated that using this stone lock to train the biceps will deform the muscles. In addition, there are some cold weapons such as knives, guns, sticks, etc., but unfortunately he can't use them, the only cold weapon he has practiced is nunchucks, and there are no them here. Wang Xijia searched around and found a pair of drum urns and golden hammers, which were the closest training equipment to dumbbells. It's a pity that the weight of this drum urn and golden hammer is enough, but only one end has an iron ball, and due to the lack of balance, it is not easy to practice.
Wang Xijia stared at these equipment for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, so he opened his mouth and asked Meng Jianniang: "Who did we buy these weapons?"
Meng Jianniang said: "Who bought it? Isn't this all made by the little carpenter at the entrance of the village?"
"Why is it a carpenter, shouldn't it be a blacksmith to build weapons?"
"It's not a carpentry job, it's just a part-time job. ”
Wang Xijia had never seen a blacksmith who made a traditional weapon, so he went to the little carpenter and told him to beat a pair of 20-kilogram dumbbells and a 50-kilogram barbell.
The little carpenter's surname is Liu, and he has never heard of any dumbbells, so Wang Xika drew the shape of a dumbbell on the ground and asked him to play it. I suddenly remembered that the little carpenter might not know what a kilogram was, so he said that a dumbbell costs 40 pounds and a barbell costs 100 pounds.
Carpenter Liu said: "Master Wang, your weapon looks strange. It doesn't matter if the small one is 40 catties, but the big one has to hit 100 catties, I think it's a little heavy, and Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Knife was only eighty-one catties, or I will give you a sixty-two pound water mill Zen stick?"
Wang Xijia thought to himself, is this treating me as Lu Zhishen? Then he said: "I'm not a weapon, you give me a full 100 pounds, I'll do squats." ”
Carpenter Liu didn't know what squats were not squatting, but he knew that this Curator Wang was rich and was the only customer in the village who bought ironware. No matter what the era, people who do business don't like to offend customers. Carpenter Liu agreed: "Cheng, when I get back, I will build a table of eight immortals for Widow Li's house, and a small bench will take over your work." ”
"How long do you get to deliver? How much do these dumbbells and barbells cost?"
"Five taels of silver, no bargaining. ”
Wang Xijia remembered that Lu Zhishen had two slashes back then, and a sixty-two-pound Zen staff seemed to be 5 taels of silver, it seems that the prices here are cheaper than those in the Water Margin, anyway, he has 30 taels of silver, so he wants to charge a lot of money.
Then he said to the little carpenter: "Master Liu, you are out of sight, how can you not negotiate? I want to negotiate this price, I think 5 taels is too little, and I will give you 6 taels." ”
Carpenter Liu said: "Do you look down on me? If we bargain, we won't be able to make this deal. ”
Wang Xijia didn't expect that the ancient people had such individuality about the price, so he no longer insisted on it.
Five days later, the little carpenter sent the beaten dumbbells and barbells to his home, Wang Xijia did a few biceps curls, and felt that the dumbbells were okay, and the barbells were a little heavy. He thought: Yes, now this body is not comparable to the body that exercised every day before the crossing, and the 50-kilogram barbell can't be lifted by himself for the time being.
But the equipment had already been delivered, and he didn't want to change the weight, so he did a squat with dumbbells first. Anyway, I'm growing my body now, and if I lift too much weight, it will affect my height.
Since strengthening her nutrition, Wang Xika has started to have those dreams about flying again at night. In his dreams, he can fly freely in the sky like a swimmer. During the day, Wang Xijia could feel the soreness in his knees, and as a passer-by, he knew that these were all signs that he was going to grow taller.
He used a knife to carve a mark on the wall every day to record his growth, and in almost 3 months since the crossing, he has grown 8,9 centimeters taller, and now he should be about 1.75 meters, which is still very satisfactory.
It would be nice to have basketball, and playing basketball is very helpful for improving your height. Wang Xijia asked Zhang butcher, who sold beef, for a skin, which was filled with animal hair, and made a ball, and asked Liu Carpenter to make a basket to hang on a coconut tree and practice every day. Because this ancient juju-style ball is not elastic enough, Wang Xika did not practice shooting, and mainly practiced dunking. If you want to practice dunking, you have to practice bouncing, Wang Xijia first hung the frame at the position of 2.5 meters, and then hung it at the position of 2.7 meters after the buckle was familiar, and then cooperated with the daily barbell squat and calf lift training, the bounce power increased day by day, and the dunk height also increased day by day, and finally he was able to deduct 3.05 meters of blue.
Every day when Meng Jianniang watched Wang Xijia practice basketball in the yard, she would ask enthusiastically: "Master Wang, are you practicing light skills?" When will you seek revenge on Peng Lianhu?"
Wang Xika always replied casually while dunking: "It's fast, it's fast." ”
Before the crossing, Wang Xika couldn't dunk the blue, but after the crossing, with his own efforts, he could not only dunk, but also step down and change hands to dunk, Wang Xijia's inner sense of accomplishment was incomparable to defeating a small Peng Lianhu.
Because he felt that the elasticity of the leather solid ball was not good, Wang Xijia asked Liu Carpenter to make a rattan ball, and the elasticity of this ball was enough, but it felt bad. Find Carpenter Liu to make a pump another day, make the ball inflatable, and practice shooting well, after all, you can't dunk it, Wang Xika thought.
Before he put this idea into practice, Miss Meng found Wang Xika and said, "Have you practiced well? If you want to practice well, hurry up and seek revenge on Peng Lianhu." Otherwise, we won't be able to stay in this village.
"Why can't we stay in this village?"
"You are a martial arts gym, if you lose the competition, you can't take revenge as soon as possible, and you will be looked down upon by everyone. If I work in such a martial arts gym, I will be looked down upon, and people will think that I have a problem with my brain. ”
"People are terrible, it seems that it is the same in all times. In that case, you can help me give Peng Lianhu a battle letter, and say that another competition will be held in seven days. ”
"Are you sure you won?"
"Absolutely. ”
Although in the last fight with Peng Lianhu, Wang Xika was knocked out in less than two seconds, but it was because he was not familiar with this body. Now it's different, after three months of training, I am already very familiar with the body, and after exercise, my muscle circumference and strength have been greatly improved, and my cardiopulmonary function and endurance are also very good. Although I've been playing basketball for a while and haven't done combat training specifically, I've been practicing basic sandbag fighting every day.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Wang Xijia focused on practicing his neck strength again. For a martial artist, if the neck isn't thick enough, it's easy to get knocked out if you get hit in the head. Neck muscles are mainly exercised by head resistance training, such as holding the head forward with your hands and pushing the head back. When you have practiced almost, use your head as a support to do a lower waist and stand upside down.
Peng Lianhu agreed to the competition, and the two sides agreed to have another competition in the open space at the entrance of the village. The night before the fight, Wang silently recalled the various fighting videos she had watched, such as Tyson's knockout highlights, and the match between Conor McGregor and Kitty Hawk Habby.
Wang Xijia basically practiced boxing, and he thought that his ground skills were not as good as Kitty Hawk. After thinking about it, he decided that he would try to knock out his opponent with his fists in tomorrow's fight, just like Tyson and Mouth Cannon. After all, he was also knocked out by Peng Lianhu with his fists last time, and this time he just used his way to govern others.
