Chapter 7: Squats
When Qi Dong walked to the barbell area, the ponytail girl just squatted down, carrying an 80-kilogram barbell on her shoulder. She looked struggling, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
After walking to the front, Qi Dong finally saw her face clearly, and then he was stunned, isn't this girl Fang Qiwen who was knocked to the ground by him in martial arts class today?
Fang Qiwen was about to stand up, but when she suddenly saw Qi Dong, she didn't hold her breath, and her legs were weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Fortunately, Qi Dong reacted quickly and stepped forward in time to support the barbell on her shoulder.
"Why are you? What are you doing here?" asked Fang Qiwen with a cold expression after getting off the squat rack.
"Huh, can't I come to the gym?" Qi Dong asked a little unhappily when he saw her hostile face.
"Don't think I'll be afraid of you if you beat me once. Fang Qiwen said and wiped her sweat with a towel.
"I didn't want you to be afraid of me. Qi Dong shrugged his shoulders and replied.
Fang Qiwen looked at Qi Dong's innocent look, and didn't say anything more, bent down and picked up the water cup on the ground and walked aside.
Qi Dong touched his head and smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that this Fang Qiwen is very prejudiced against him.
However, he did not continue to dwell on this, lifted the barbell with both hands and rested it on the barbell rack, then unscrewed the clamp with his hands, and added a 20-kilogram barbell plate on each side. As a result, the weight of the barbell now reaches 120 kilograms.
Fang Qiwen squatted on the open space not far away to rest, and when she saw the weight added by Qi Dong, she still looked contemptuous.
Qi Dong can be said to be a novice in fitness, and he can't even do some of the most basic movements, so all he can do is imitate.
After carefully recalling Fang Qiwen's squat action just now, Qi Dong also did it according to the scoop gourd.
"Hey, are you going to be so ugly. Looking at Qi Dong's extremely uncoordinated squatting action, Fang Qiwen reminded angrily.
"Haha, it's the first time I've done this, and I'm imitating you. Qi Dong also knew that his actions were very irregular, so he told the truth, but he inadvertently put the fault on Fang Qiwen.
"You ..... you this is Dong Shi Xiaofeng!" Fang Qiwen said angrily.
Qi Dong thought that she was blaming herself for not imitating properly, so she squatted down a little more, and deliberately tilted her hips back.
When Fang Qiwen saw it, her pretty face immediately turned red, and she turned her head away hatefully, and she simply came out of sight.
Qi Dong actually doesn't care whether the action is standard or not, he just came to the gym to quickly vent the energy in his body, but so far he has not achieved his goal, it seems that the amount of exercise is not enough.
Thinking about it like this, Qi Dong stopped his movements again and added two 20-kilogram barbell plates on each side of the barbell at one time, that is to say, the current barbell weight has reached 200 kilograms.
"Hey, are you crazy! Beware of being squashed by the barbell. Fang Qiwen was also shocked by Qi Dong's behavior on the side, thinking that he had lost his mind, so he hurriedly stopped him loudly.
"What's wrong?" Qi Dong was taken aback and asked after being stunned.
"Do you know what the weight-bearing squat record is in this gym? It's only 240 kilograms, and it's our school's weightlifting coach who weighs more than twice as much as you!" Fang Qiwen looked a little excited.
"Don't you think too much of yourself!" she replied fiercely, her fair face flushing slightly.
"Well, I'd better give it a try. Qi Dong was told like this, and he also felt that he was a little impulsive, but he thought that he had already installed the barbell plate anyway, so it was better to try it, it was really not too late to take it off.
Fang Qiwen didn't bother to bother talking anymore after hearing this, so she just waited to watch the show.
Qi Dong was not careless this time, he moved his muscles and bones first, and then firmly supported the barbell bar with both hands, let the barbell rest firmly on his shoulder, and then slowly squatted down.
Sure enough, Qi Dong felt that the pressure on his body was much greater than before, but it was not to the point of crushing him, just enough for him to use all the strength in his body.
"Haha, that's kind of interesting. Qi Dong secretly said excitedly.
Fang Qiwen saw that Qi Dong had succeeded, and suddenly stood up from the ground. At this time, she bit her lip lightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly, all of which really made her unbelievable.
"It's... How is this possible? It's so unreasonable. Fang Qiwen muttered to herself.
At this time, someone in the gym let out a scream, and almost everyone looked towards the barbell area.
A skinny boy who seemed to weigh no more than 60 kilograms, carrying a huge barbell of nearly 200 kilograms, squatted together to do squats, although the movements were not standard, but they were extremely smooth without the slightest pause.
This scene is indeed shocking.
Qi Dong did it very happily, he didn't want to stop at all, he wanted to vent the excess energy in his body in one go.
So, squatting together, five minutes passed quietly.
"Touch!" Although the barbell was gently placed on the ground by Qi Dong, it still made a loud noise because of its huge weight.
"Forty-two! He did forty-two squats!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, and then everyone rushed towards Qi Dong's side.
Someone carefully calculated the weight of the barbell, eight 20-kilogram barbell plates, two 10-kilogram barbell plates, plus a 20-kilogram barbell bar, no more, no less just 200 kilograms.
"Brother, you are so powerful, this squat with a weight of 200 kilograms can not be done by few people!"
"And you did forty-two, brother, how did you do it?"
"A few more pounds can break our school's record!"
"Wow, it's unreasonable that you're so thin and still so powerful!"
...........
Qi Dong gasped heavily, looking at the muscular strong men around him looking at him with admiration, he was a little overwhelmed.
He didn't expect that he would cause such a big commotion after just doing a few squats.
After a few minutes, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Qi Dong could see that Fang Qiwen was still squatting not far away, looking at him with a dull gaze.
"I'm done, do you want to continue?" Qi Dong looked at Fang Qiwen in a daze and asked.
Fang Qiwen came back to her senses, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Qi Dong saw that she didn't respond, thinking that she thought the barbell was too heavy, so he asked:
"Why don't I remove a few barbell plates?"
Fang Qiwen's face was slightly red after hearing this, and her gaze at Qi Dong became as cold as an ice fountain again, and then she didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Qi Dong touched his head and felt a little inexplicable.
At this time, he had already vented the energy in his body happily, and he didn't want to stay in the gym any longer, so he put down the barbell and walked outside the gym after seeing that the time was not early.
