I practiced in the United States

Chapter 130: First experience of arm fighting

This gym is large enough to meet Li Ang's needs, but it is impossible to have the quiet atmosphere of working out alone.

"Li Ang, do you really not need to wear protective gear for this weight?"

Li Ang shook his head and jokingly replied:

"Maybe this weight was my limit last time, and now it may just be a warm-up weight."

As he spoke, he increased the weight of the barbell on the bench press rack to 160kg.

Only Blair had ever challenged this weight in the bench press, but as he got older, he hadn't tried this weight for a long time.

Although Li Ang was joking, the weight he tried for the first time was really 160kg.

There were more than ten people around him, most of whom were holding up their mobile phones to record the video, two or three were protecting him, and several were excitedly discussing how terrifying this weight was.

320 pounds, many old gymnasts didn't dare to try this weight when squatting, but now Li Ang has supported it with his two arms.

Although veins popped up on Li Ang's sturdy palms, the barbell in his hand was so stable that there was no sign of shaking.

When Li Ang finally lifted the weight, the whole audience burst into cheers.

Griffin, the owner of the gym next to him, couldn't hide his smile.

Because their gym has a great god like Li Ang, the daily traffic has increased a lot. His word-of-mouth communication ability in the neighborhood is much more effective than that of ordinary GGs.

However, when the barbell in Li Ang's hand fell, everyone found that he had no intention of putting it on the rack, but did another bench press at a steady and slow speed.

Everyone realized that Li Ang's words just now were not a joke, and he really intended to warm up with this weight.

In the subsequent training, Li Ang did not perform too shockingly, but only demonstrated a set of 180kg bench presses, 6*8 sets.

With Li Ang's current muscle endurance, if he wants to exhaust himself, he has to use a weight close to the limit and try to do a set. Otherwise, if it is lighter, his arms will not feel the pressure at all.

In the middle of the training, Li Ang also measured his height and weight.

Height 181cm, weight 75.8kg.

Compared with the previous period, his height has grown by two centimeters. Although this growth rate is quite amazing, considering his age of 17 and late development, it is not so outrageous.

In terms of weight, the increase is quite exaggerated. Compared with the last slapping competition, he is ten kilograms heavier.

There is no way. If you want to increase muscle strength, it is impossible not to increase weight.

But Li Ang is special in that the weight he has gained is not so obvious in muscle mass. Although part of it is due to the increase in height, a large part of it is due to Li Ang's excessive bone and muscle density.

This also causes his muscles to be in a perfect state in the eyes of passers-by. The lines are very beautiful, but not so exaggerated.

An afternoon of high-intensity exercise brought a significant improvement in the [Strength] attribute.

However, it is impossible for ordinary people to train like him. Even if they are not exhausted, they will probably get rhabdomyolysis.

"Leon, do you want to try arm wrestling?"

Griffin, the shareholder and owner of the gym, saw that he had finally finished training, and sincerely stood in front of the table dedicated to arm wrestling and invited him.

This was not because he was afraid of his strength, so he wanted to wait until his physical strength was almost exhausted before inviting him.

Well, there was actually a little reason. As the current ceiling of arm wrestling in the gym, he was also the owner of the gym. If he lost to a young man who was exposed to arm wrestling for the first time, it would be too embarrassing.

"Why not?"

In fact, Leon was also very interested in this sport, but he had never participated in it because his strength was not enough before.

Recently, he finally made up for his biggest shortcoming, strength, and some sports that he could not participate in in the past can now be tried.

When they heard that Leon was also going to try arm wrestling, the originally silent crowd gathered again.

This thing is much more interesting than just watching others lift weights. What attracts men the most is always the most primitive and direct confrontation.

However, although Li Ang's strength talent is quite terrifying, far exceeding Griffin's performance in the three major events, everyone still does not think that Li Ang can defeat Griffin.

Because the sport of arm wrestling is not just about the strength of the biceps, but also requires wrist strength, finger strength, and even shoulder joint internal rotation strength, and many other strengths that are not often used.

Moreover, this sport also requires a certain degree of skill, and there will be a considerable gap between novices and veterans.

Therefore, it can be found that many bodybuilders, even those who can bench press more than 200 kilograms, may not be able to win the lightweight champion who is much lighter than him in arm wrestling.

The two stood in front of the table and did not start the game immediately. Instead, Griffin first explained the rules and force techniques to Li Ang.

Although Griffin did not want to lose face, he would not bully Li Ang, a novice, in such matters.

Teaching him the correct force posture is also to avoid injuries to the greatest extent.

Generally speaking, serious arm wrestlers rarely get injured. Only those who play around will often suffer muscle and ligament strains, or even joint dislocations.

Li Ang's current learning ability is beyond doubt. He only needs to learn it once to memorize all the force-generating movements Griffin taught him, and can even use them immediately in actual combat.

As soon as the two of them held hands, Li Ang felt that Griffin's palm was indeed wider and thicker than his own, which is also a talent in arm wrestling.

"Are you ready? I'm going to start exerting force."

Li Ang nodded, and in the expectant eyes of everyone, the palms of the two finally began to slowly shift towards Griffin.

But after only two or three centimeters, the shift stopped, and then fell into a strange stillness.

"Push harder, Griffin!"

"This is Leon's first arm wrestling match, you have to fight for us."

"Come on! Come on!"

Amid the booing of the crowd of onlookers, Griffin's face became redder and redder, like a red-skinned duck.

But unfortunately, his wrist, except for moving a little at the beginning, never moved again.

Leon savored the details of Griffin's exertion just now. Through the process of the two shaking hands and the process of exerting force that he deliberately left for Griffin, he had clearly dissected Griffin's entire exertion technique through his muscles.

In other words, in the process of more than ten seconds, Leon had successfully learned from others in actual combat.

This not only requires Leon's familiarity with human muscles, but also requires Leon's powerful brain computing power, so to some extent, Leon's consumption is also very large.

After he completely digested it, Leon slowly began to exert force.

So the wrists of both parties, which had been still for a long time, finally began to slowly move towards Leon.

After moving almost the same distance in the opposite direction, Li Ang's wrist suddenly slipped out of his hand, which meant that the game ended in a draw.
