I practiced in the United States

Although he is not a person who likes to join in the fun, it is human instinct to understand the environment around him and what is happening. •

Li Ang had just finished three sets of pull-ups and was planning to rest for a few minutes, so he followed.

When he got close to the crowd, the first information he collected was not what they were doing, but a strong smell of sweat-removing fragrance mixed with various body odors of different styles.

There was nothing he could do about it. People in the United States would have to get used to this smell sooner or later.

Li Ang got closer and found that everyone was watching two people arm wrestling, or more precisely, it was called Arm wrestling, which is generally called arm wrestling in China.

Coincidentally, he had some knowledge of this sport before.

For example, in the variety show Running Man, Wei Sicheng, the domestic arm wrestling champion, participated.

This sport is not completely equivalent to arm wrestling and arm wrestling in different places in China with different rules.

Because it divides a unified rule, this rule strengthens the competitiveness of the sport, and most importantly, improves the safety of arm wrestling.

In the spontaneous arm wrestling among the people, due to different rules and non-standard force postures, joint injuries and ligament strains are common during the process, and even more serious cases may result in broken hands.

But in fact, arm wrestling has a history of several decades abroad, and the rules are quite scientific and rigorous.

While allowing body movement, elbow sliding, and adding hand grips, there are also various restrictions.

For example, both feet cannot leave the ground at the same time, the shoulders cannot be lower than the table for three seconds when defending, and the elbows cannot leave the mat.

The strict competition rules also make the career of this sport extremely long. Many players, in their sixties and seventies, with white hair, can still hold their own in front of young people.

My thoughts returned to the present. One of the arm wrestlers in front of me was a white man with a strong body, golden curly hair and a beard, and the other was Captain Gorilla, whose muscles were even more exaggerated and whose body could compete with Captain America.

Looking at his arms and then at his own, Li Ang felt that he would need two or three arms together to catch up.

Although the gorilla captain's arm muscles are larger, the two seem to be about the same in strength, and they are still in a stalemate.

The black side has been attacking hard, and the sweat has wet the table.

On the other hand, the white side is also gritting his teeth to defend, but his expression is quite relaxed. Several times his wrist was almost pressed on the table, but he was forced to hold it.

Three minutes passed like this, and the white side finally seized the opportunity of his exhaustion and relaxed, and reversed the game in just one breath.

The whole audience immediately cheered warmly, and the atmosphere can be said to be directly full.

The gorilla captain was obviously a little angry, and kept saying "thank you, thank you."

But there was no way, so he reluctantly took out two fifty-yuan bills and handed them to the other party.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and Li Ang returned to the place where he had just exercised.

But at this time, he also had more thoughts in his mind. Wrist fighting seems to be a way to make money!

The most important thing is that it makes money quickly and there is no risk of injury.

They were just having fun. The prize money for a formal arm wrestling competition is not low, and it is often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Speaking of this, he remembered the [Slap Power] he had seen at Sheila's house a few days ago. Those people really risked their lives to make money.

However, Li Ang looked at his arm and it was obviously too weak. He would be killed instantly if he went up.

But Lu Xun once said: "If you are not good, practice more!"

So, Li Ang quietly increased the amount of arm strength training in his training plan.

At the beginning of the training, he also wanted to test the weight of his bench press and squats to make plans for subsequent training.

First, the bench press is an empty bar. Don't think it's just pushing a bare bar. In fact, this thing weighs 20kg. Many novices who have never touched it can't really do a standard bench press.

Originally, a plump Jewish girl wearing yoga clothes next to him would look at him from time to time because of Li Ang's lean figure and appearance.

Until she saw him bench press empty, she curled her lips and moved her eyes to the big muscleman on the other side.

Although it was an empty bar, Li Ang still did every move very seriously.

He was familiar with the standard movements of bench press, and even knew what kind of grip distance, grip method, and which muscles exert more force.

But these things are just talk in the end, and the most important thing for him now is to have relevant muscle memory.

After pushing more than 20 times in total, when he felt that he was completely proficient in this movement, Li Ang increased the weight to 40kg.

He had a little difficulty with this weight, but it was not a problem to push it ten times.

In the next group, he increased the weight to 50kg. He gritted his teeth and could still push it up, but he was exhausted after pushing five or six times.

The slightly fat Jewish girl next to him was not surprised to see him increase the weight to 50kg. After all, she could do this weight too.

This is actually because she doesn't know much about it. In fact, as a novice practicing for the first time, Li Ang weighs 59kg and can bench press 50kg, which is a pretty good result.

Besides, this weight is not his limit, but the weight for doing a set.

People who know the business can roughly deduce that Li Ang's limit, that is, the weight that can only be pushed up once, may be 60kg.

This weight has almost exceeded his own weight, and it belongs to the weight of a very talented person when he first practices.

Although people on the Internet are boasting that bench press 100kg is the entry standard, etc., this statement is no different from the average annual income of one million on Zhihu.

In reality, people who can bench press 100kg are not rare, but they are definitely great gods in the gym.

After roughly figuring out his own strength, Li Ang continued to increase the weight to 60kg, which was about the same as he expected. After pushing up one, the second one was a little difficult to get up.

In fact, according to his upper limb muscle mass, he couldn't push such a weight for the first time.

The reason why he was able to complete it was due to his higher neural recruitment ability than ordinary people.

After the bench press test, the next item was squats.

Although this item was not included in his training plan, Li Ang also wanted to know what level of lower limb strength he currently had.

When it comes to squats, he was not as cautious as he was with bench presses. He directly increased the weight of the barbell to 80kg and started his first attempt.
