What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 7 Power

I measured my bust, waist, and arm circumference, and they all increased. I took a few photos, and my body fat continued to drop. Although my abdominal muscles still don’t have an obvious eight-pack line, the overall muscle mass has increased significantly.

He did a few push-ups, and it was indeed easier than before. He did seventy standard push-ups without feeling the limit.

But instead of continuing, he stopped to find the nearest gym with his mobile phone.

For push-ups and other unarmed movements, the progress can be counted when the basic strength is relatively weak at the beginning, but when the basic strength reaches a certain level, it is not easy to count, or it takes too much time.

Relatively speaking, the equipment in the gym can make a data-based assessment of your physical strength in a more specific way.

After Xiang Kun went to the gym, he asked to apply for a half-week or monthly card to experience it first. The young salesman who received him directly gave him a three-time experience card and told him that if he still couldn't decide whether to apply for a membership card after three times , he can send another three-time card to let him continue to experience, and then make a decision.

The young salesman personally took Xiang Kun to familiarize himself with the equipment. In fact, when Xiang Kun was in college, he was taken by his roommate to the school gym for two semesters to exercise. Some of the equipment can also be used proficiently, and the exertion movements during exercise can also meet the basic standards.

After a while, the young salesman answered the phone and let Xiang Kun experience it by himself, and he left first.

It was less than three o'clock at noon, and it was a working day. There was no one in the gym. After warming up on the elliptical machine for a while, Xiang Kun started to do bench presses.

At the beginning, he just added a 15KG barbell plate to find the feeling of exerting force first. After all, he has never entered a gym or used these equipment since graduation.

Soon, a burly personal trainer with a height of nearly 1.9 meters walked up to Xiang Kun. When Xiang Kun finished a set and was adding barbell plates, he said, "Your movements are not standard. Be careful when you are doing it, it is best to find someone to watch from the side, and be careful not to get hurt. And if you continue to practice this movement, the chest shape may be out of shape..."

Xiang Kun was a little speechless. If he hadn't encountered the body mutation caused by X, but had just come here to keep fit, he might have been bluffed by his words.

But for Xiang Kun now, the movement of the bench press is subconsciously adjusted according to the feeling of muscle exertion in each part, and it is the most suitable movement for him.

Naturally, Xiang Kun knew that the coach approached him with the ultimate goal of selling private lessons. If he refused directly, other private trainers would come over soon, so he said to him, "How about we make a bet? Compared with the maximum weight of the bench press, who can push the heavier weight, if you win, I will buy you 20 lessons, if I win, how about you guarantee that no other personal trainer will come to talk to me in the gym in the future?"

The coach looked at Xiang Kun a little strangely. Could it be that this buddy was being cautious when he bench-pressed with a weight of 50kg just now, and he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

However, he estimated Xiang Kun's weight and found that his height should be less than 1.8 meters, and his weight should not exceed 85 kg. Since he weighed 97 kg and kept training all the time, he should win steadily in terms of strength, so he agreed to Xiang Kun's offer. Bet.

At the beginning, Xiang Kun added two 15KG barbell plates, and the total weight was 80KG with the barbell. It's done in one go.

Changing to Kun again, the weight was increased to 100KG. This weight is already relatively heavy in the gym. Almost no one will use this weight for group training by themselves, and there are not many people who can reach the limit of a single time.

In fact, Xiang Kun himself didn't know the maximum weight he could push now,

But after waking up today, he can clearly feel a significant increase in strength, at least when he pushed 80KG before, he was still very relaxed.

Under the protection of the coach, the 100KG was done very simply and neatly.

The coach's face was a little ugly now. It was obvious that Xiang Kun was not a rookie, and his strength was quite strong.

Further up, a 2.5kg barbell was added on one side. Starting from 105kg, the coach was obviously struggling, and Xiang Kun also started to stand behind to protect.

As for the 110kg, Xiang Kun seemed to be able to lift it without much effort.

115KG...

120KG...

125KG...

At this time, there were already two or three members who were also exercising, and they were very interested in seeing someone comparing bench press weights with the coach.

When Xiang Kun also pushed up the 130KG, the coach looked at the barbell adjusted to 135KG, and his face turned dark.

His usual limit is actually more than 135KG, but now he has lifted so many heavy weights in a row, although there are pauses in the middle, but so many times in a row, his muscles still can't recover.

If I had known it earlier, I would have gone straight to the maximum weight, but at that time the coach thought that he would be able to win without having to go to 100KG, but he didn't expect Xiang Kun to be so strong, and it was obvious that when he lifted those weights, it was easier than him many.

Finally, when the 135KG was pushed halfway, the coach had no strength and couldn't lift it up. Fortunately, Xiang Kun was behind to protect him and helped him lift the barbell and put it away.

Then switch to Kun, he did not push 135KG directly, but added 150KG.

Although he was making a bet with Xiang Kun, the coach was still serious about protecting behind the barbell. If Xiang Kun missed and got injured while betting with him, he would definitely be responsible.

Xiang Kun adjusted the grip, then lifted the barbell, lowered it slowly, lightly touched the chest muscles, and then lifted it up steadily. The whole process still seemed to be with ease.

But after returning the barbell to its position, Xiang Kun also let out a long breath.

It seems to be very stable, but in fact, I feel that the strength is a little close to the limit. It is estimated that it may not be impossible to push up to 160KG, but the movement will inevitably be deformed and borrowed.

After Xiang Kun got up from the tablet, the coach gave him a thumbs up and said in admiration, "Amazing! You are really a master. This strength is really not covered. I am afraid that 150KG is far from the limit! Brother, why don't you?" Could it be that he specializes in powerlifting?" Although when he was in good shape, he had barely pushed up to 150KG, but compared to Xiang Kun's calm and smooth, coherent effort, it was far behind. Moreover, he has gained weight all the way from 100kg, and the same is true for Xiang Kun, who obviously crushed him in terms of absolute strength and physical strength, and he was completely convinced.

"No, I just practiced to lose weight." Xiang Kun said, and went to the squat rack again, ready to measure the limit data of squats.
