Chapter 142: Bench Press

"Da Zhang, come here!" Sasha shouted to a group of macho men gathered not far away.

The group of people turned around when they heard this, and squeezed out a stocky man from the crowd, he was not particularly tall, about 1.75 meters, but his body looked extremely strong, with a wide chest and a broad back, round shoulders, a pair of arms like tendons, thick muscles, and sharp edges. Although he is half a head shorter than Ma Le, he is not inferior in terms of the width and thickness of his physique, or even thicker. Let's put it this way, this guy has a strong sense of disobedience when he stands in the real world, and his physique sticks to his beard and picks up his tomahawk, and he is still a dwarf of extremely tall stature.

"What's the matter, Sasha?" This "dwarf" strode in front of Sasha, presumably it was that Zhang Guangjie. There was also a lot of macho behind him, and these guys complained: "What are you doing, Mr. Zhang is performing bench press...... You don't see, 120 kg is the same as playing, it's amazing! ”

"That's just right!" Sasha proudly stretched out her thumb and pointed at Ma Le back: "Da Zhang, this is for Mr. Ma to try bench press with you, if he loses, he will get a three-year card here!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guangjie raised his eyebrows, and a kind of followers behind him made a burst of discussion.

"This kid wants to challenge Teacher Zhang?"

"Just kidding, looking at his body shape, he doesn't like to practice bodybuilding! Although it is quite strong, I estimate that it will be a hundred and twenty at most! ”

"Oh, I don't know if there are all stunned young people who are high in the sky, Mr. Zhang, I can teach him to be a man without you!"

As he spoke, there was a sturdy man with thick arms who wanted to go up, but Zhang Guangjie stopped him with a wave of his hand: "Xiao Li, people want to compete with me by name, what is the matter with you for me, this is a little disrespectful!" ”

Having said that, but from the face of this coach Zhang, there is no hint of "respect". This guy looks at his face, that is, he is around thirty, and he is still a competitive age, not to mention that Ma Le is challenging the field he is best at and the most proud of. In the face of this kind of challenge, he must not back down, although in his opinion the opponent is insignificant, but it is rare to come to such a stunned young man who takes the initiative to send experience, and Coach Zhang is also eager to extinguish the prestige of the other party and increase his reputation.

Zhang Guangjie stretched out his hand to Ma Leyi: "This friend's surname is Ma, right, have you ever done fitness exercises before?" ”

Ma Le stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said calmly: "No, this is the first time I have come to this kind of place." ”

Zhang Guangjie smiled: "Then, Brother Ma, you may not know your physical limits very well, I advise you to try your hands first and feel your level." The bench press is not as simple as it seems, it requires a lot of strength, and novices can get injured if they are not careful. In my opinion, with your physique, try a hundred kilograms, feel it, and then decide whether you want to ...... or not."

Zhang Guangjie said this tactfully, but the meaning of the words is that you are still too tender, and if you want to compete with Lao Tzu, you should lift a hundred kilograms first. If this Ma Le really struggles to lift a hundred kilograms, he is performing as an elder and instructor to lift more than 150 kilograms, so that Ma Le can be convinced, and he will not fall into a bad reputation for bullying newcomers.

However, Ma Le didn't appreciate it at all: "Coach Zhang, you don't have to worry about me, you can come to your limit, since you have to compete, how uncomfortable it is to hide it!" Don't say 100 kilograms, if you want to push 200 or 300, I will accompany you! ”

As soon as Ma Le's words came out, the people around him were stunned for a second, and then burst into laughter. Ma Le didn't know why, so he lowered his head and asked Ma Xiaoxiao on the side: "What are they laughing at?" ”

Ma Xiaoxiao was also made red-faced, and could only whisper: "What two hundred and three hundred, do you think that buying vegetables can be added casually, the most powerful coach Zhang here has pushed at most one hundred and eighty-five kilograms, do you think the bench press is so easy?" ”

Ma Le was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said in surprise to Zhang Guangjie: "You can't even push two hundred kilograms?" ”

What he said was completely unintentional, this thing has no concept of fitness, he connected his physical strength when he was still a human being, and felt that this so-called industry master had to be several times his own. But Ma Le ignores that he is also very strong as a human and cannot be used as a reference.

But when I heard this, it seemed that I was deliberately sarcastic, and some of them even thought that this guy was deliberately here to find fault. You must know that even the world-renowned movie star, former bodybuilding champion Schwarzenegger, only pushed 227 kilograms at his peak. Without the help of equipment, the world record of bench press is more than 300 kilograms. This hairy boy opened his mouth and closed his mouth for two or three hundred, either he was a complete layman, or he came to find trouble.

There are more and more doubts about Ma Le here, and they are even mixed with abuse. Soon the commotion attracted the attention of the others, and the people in the hall stopped their projects and gradually gathered around to see what was going on.

Ma Le's words made Zhang Guangjie also a little unhappy, he frowned, looked at the audience that was gathering more and more, and made a smile with his feelings: "Young man, you are really joking, so let's give you a sample first, and after a while, you follow my movements, don't ask you to push the same weight as me, as long as you can narrow the gap below thirty kilograms, even if you win, how about it?" ”

For Coach Zhang's "generosity", the audience expressed their appreciation and admiration, but Ma Le did not appreciate it: "Oh, don't say it's useless, hurry up and push it, let me see your catties!" ”

This arrogant attitude made the people around him boo, and they accused him of not knowing the sky. Zhang Guangjie waved his hand to quell everyone's accusations, snorted coldly, took Ma Le to the nearest bench press, and increased the weight of the barbell to 180 kilograms in front of everyone. It's the highest standard weight he's ever trained for, and it's the same weight that everyone else at the fitness center can't match!

Zhang Guangjie lay on the bench press frame, grabbed the barbell on the rack with both hands, and a fitness trainer walked over next to him to help him remove the barbell. Then the muscular hunk bulged his arms and slowly contracted his arms until the barbell was about to touch his thick and toned chest, and then he lifted the whole 180 kilograms, and then with the help of the assistant, put the barbell back on the shelf.

The whole movement is standard and smooth, and it is done in one go, which makes the fitness enthusiasts present applaud. After Zhang Guangjie got up, they all looked at Ma Le on the side, looking forward to the challenger's expression.

Ma Le noticed everyone's gaze, was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Guangjie, who had already stood up, and blurted out: "This is the end?" ”

These words flashed Zhang Guangjie: "What else do you want?" ”

"Then it's my turn!" Ma Le originally thought that this was some kind of complicated action, but now it is so simple at first glance, and there is no pressure, and he is about to put his arms up. Ma Xiaoxiao behind him grabbed him, and quickly shook his head and said: "Ma Le, don't make trouble, it's not fun, in case you get hurt......"

Ma Le laughed and shook off Ma Xiaoxiao's arm, "Don't worry, Sister Xiao, your brother and I are amazing!" ”

When he came to the bench press, Ma Le asked Zhang Guangjie and Sasha: "Is it that as long as I push up, even if it is a little heavier than Coach Zhang's, I will win?" ”

The two nodded: "Of course, needless to say, it's a little heavier, if we can tie, we will be defeated!" ”

"Okay!" Ma Le bent down, took off one of the sensitive slippers he was stepping on, and hung it on the barbell that Zhang Guangjie had just lifted.

"Eh, Mr. Ma, what do you mean by that?" Sasha wondered.

"Oh, isn't one heavy enough?" Ma Le looked at the barbell, simply took off the other one as well, and hung it on the other end: "That's right, it's balanced!" ”

The emotion actually took this pair of slippers weighing only a few hundred grams as an extra weight, and wanted to defeat Zhang Guangjie with this!

Everyone laughed at his funny behavior, and some even guessed that the goods would not be able to lift it for a while, and would complain that the slippers were too heavy, and break the embarrassment in such a funny and witty way.

However, it turns out that they guessed wrong. Ma Leping lay on the bench press frame, put his hands on the barbell, waved his hand and drank back the fitness coach who came to protect and help, and then completely relied on his own strength to remove the 1800 kg barbell hanging on a pair of slippers from the shelf, sink down, lift it again, and put it back on the shelf! The whole movement is as standard as Zhang Guangjie's doing, and it looks obviously smoother and more comfortable!

This move really shocked the onlookers, they originally thought that Ma Le was just a bluffing guy, but they didn't expect him to really have such strength!

And Zhang Guangjie couldn't believe his eyes, judging from his years of fitness experience, Ma Le didn't have that kind of thick and terrifying upper limb muscles, and he should definitely not be able to lift such a heavy barbell! But now that the facts are in front of us, this unashamed young man does have the capital to brag.

"I said, didn't you tell me that 180 kilograms is a great achievement? Why does this person look so easy to lift? A girl on the lookout asked her boyfriend next to her, and the man was also a little surprised: "It should be, I can barely lift 120 kilograms after practicing for so long...... This guy ......."

"This kid is really powerful, and he doesn't need to assist, it seems that he is really more powerful than Teacher Zhang!" The people who originally supported Zhang Guangjie began to defect, and some people even began to speculate about Ma Le's origin: "Maybe it's also the fitness coach of which club!" Is it here to smash the field? ”

"If that's the case, this time Shigersinde's face will be lost!"

…………

Hearing the discussion of the people around him, Zhang Guangjie was even more embarrassed, he gritted his teeth, and whispered to the assistant next to him: "Go, increase the weight of the barbell to one hundred and ninety kilograms!" ”
