Chapter 50 Challenging the Limit
“Let’s just start with 50kg.
Li Ang tried 60kg last time, which was about the same weight as he weighed at the time. He was able to get up, but it was a bit difficult.

His weight has increased in the past few days, so warming up to 50kg should not be a problem.
Blair raised his eyebrows. He still remembered Li Ang's last result. 50kg was no problem for him, but it was still a bit aggressive for warming up.
Li Ang was seen lying on the bench press. Soon, the 50kg barbell was above his body, moving back and forth several times in a row.
"Wow, six completed with high quality, quite good. 50kg seems to be quite easy for you."
Blair couldn't help but give Li Ang a thumbs up.
Next is 60kg. This weight has already reached his limit weight last time.
But Li Ang still completed six smoothly.
Blair was already a little surprised. It seemed that Li Ang was training every day and had no moisture at all.
In fact, he could already do it with 60kg when he and Charles came here for the second time.
The only difference was that he was exhausted after finishing six last time, but this time he felt he still had some energy left.
The next group will challenge 70kg. According to Blair's estimation, this weight should be his ultimate weight.
In fact, there is a relatively authoritative table for training weight in this area.
If you can do up to six reps with this weight, then according to the table, this weight is 85% of your maximum weight.
If you can do a maximum of four reps, then the weight is 90% of your maximum weight, and so on, three reps are 93%. 95% twice.
But Blair didn't know that this quantity was not Li Ang's limit, so neither was the weight.
Blair assisted with the 70kg weight very carefully. If you try the extreme weight, you can easily strain your muscles if you are not careful.
"Once, okay, you succeeded, oh? Is there a second time?"
"Come on! It's the third time."
"Four times!"
Li Ang almost felt exhausted.
In the end, it was 80kg. He tried his best and still completed a standard bench press.
"You are really amazing. You know, you are the most improved trainer I have ever seen."
Blair praised while applauding.
Li Ang couldn't help but smile. He was quite satisfied with this result.
He had just measured that his weight had risen to 62kg, and his height had also grown 1cm, reaching 176cm.
Although such a figure is still a little thin, it no longer looks frail, but gives people a lean feeling.
Being able to bench press 80kg is definitely at the top level in public gyms.
Then Li Ang watched Blair directly increase the weight to 100kg and began to demonstrate bench press training for him.
"The angle of your arm just now needs to be adjusted again, so that it can have a better exercise effect on your chest muscles."
Blair explained to Li Ang while pushing the 100kg barbell.
Looking at the burly figure, Li Ang also put away some of his newly raised ambition.
It is very difficult to even out the many differences in body shape, which also means that he still cannot slack off.
Blair deliberately showed off his bench press weight. Of course, he didn't really want to hurt Li Ang. In fact, it was just a bit of bad taste on his part.
Of course, for those who are making rapid progress, this can also serve as a spur.
When he weighed more than 60 kilograms, he couldn't bench press 80 kilograms.
But this weight of over sixty kilograms probably dates back to his elementary school days.
Under Blair's guidance and assistance, Li Ang completed his bench press training plan in a way that was most suitable for his body.
"Actually, I'm probably better at squats."
Blair directly increased the weight of the barbell to 200kg, so much so that he almost ran out of nearby barbell plates.
Most people may not have much idea about squatting 200kg. You must know that Olympic weightlifting champion Lu Xiaojun, known as the "Military God", squats only around 275kg.
He took a deep breath, veins popped up on his neck, and showed Li Ang a standard squat.
"For you beginners, squats may be the most painful exercise to train your legs, but don't worry, after you have a few years of training experience, you will find that squats are still the most painful exercise. Hahaha."
Blair told a cold joke. Before Li Ang even laughed, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight.
He likes to communicate with young people. In his words, it makes him feel the vitality of life.
"Can I feel the weight?"
Li Ang looked at the 200kg barbell on the squat rack, and his heart surged.
"You can try."
Blair opened his palms and said.
At this weight, he was not too worried about what danger Li Ang would encounter, because in his judgment, Li Ang should not be strong enough to make the barbell leave the squat rack.
But to be on the safe side, he stood closer.
Li Ang stood under the shelf, showed a bright smile to Blair, and then said:
"Actually, I also have some experience in leg strength."
After Li Ang finished speaking, he imitated Blair's movements and adjusted his breathing. Then, with a low roar, he carried the 200kg barbell directly on his shoulders.
Although the pain in his shoulders this time was worse than before, Li Ang, who had experienced horizontal martial arts training, was fully able to adapt to this pain.
Exercise to become stronger is a process of breaking and standing up. In many cases, all people need is courage.
"Ward?"
Blair looked more surprised than when he first caught a 40kg fish in the river.
He quickly stretched out his hands to assist Li Ang.
"This is crazy, Li."
While he was talking, Li Ang had already squatted down.
This weight was still a bit too much for him. That is, after Li Ang upgraded [Cycling] to the Grandmaster level, his lower limb strength increased by 60%. Otherwise, when he squatted down, he would have been lying on the ground.
"Come on! You can get up, come on!"
Attracted by Blair's voice, almost all the people who were exercising around stopped and watched.
When they counted the weight on the barbell, they realized that their status in the gym seemed to be declining again.
"Get up!"
Li Ang shouted, his cheeks were completely red as if he had drunk half a catty of strong alcohol, and even one of his nostrils was bleeding during his rise.
The reason why he desperately wanted to complete this squat was not because he had to show off his ability, but because he found that when he challenged his limits, he seemed to experience the feeling of winning the championship and fighting with the black man.
Now it seems that this may be his opportunity to get [Breaking Limit Point] again.
