The heavier the athlete's weight, the more advantageous it is. Because the heavier the weight, the more muscle can be carried, and the more muscle carried, the stronger the explosive power.
The weight classification in boxing fights follows the sa principle.
The explosive power of different weights can be said to be worlds apart.
A bottom-tier player in the highest weight class can easily crush the strongest player in the lowest weight class.
Although Wang Ye's physique doesn't seem that large.
In fact, his weight has long exceeded 109 kilograms.
Even approaching 200 kilograms.
This is because his bone and muscle density is extrely high.
Several tis that of an ordinary person.
So when he competes with these ordinary people, it's actually a bit of bullying.
But it was they who insisted on challenging him, so Wang Ye reluctantly took action.
··························
··························
In the blink of an eye.
The burly man had already finished warming up and started preparing the barbell.
While chatting, Wang Ye learned that this man's nickna was Brother Tyre.
He's a social dia influencer in the powerlifting field, although not specialized in weightlifting, he's enough to easily surpass many Olympic athletes.
Because of his extensive use of steroids, he's not allowed on international stages that require drug testing.
But purely in terms of strength, his power is top-tier worldwide.
Brother Tyre gave Wang Ye a provocative smile, and loaded 380kg onto the barbell.
Adding the barbell itself, which weighs 20kg, the total weight is approximately 400kg.
He clapped his hands, covered in anti-slip magnesium powder, letting out a beast-like roar from his throat.
Many strongn or powerlifting enthusiasts let out such roars before training to stimulate adrenaline and temporarily enhance their strength.
"Roar!!!"
His forehead suddenly burst with veins as he grabbed the four-hundred-kilogram barbell and pulled it up sharply.
After pulling the barbell to hip level, he relaxed his muscles and slamd it down.
But the next mont, he exerted force again and lifted the barbell.
With each lift, he exhaled heavily through his mouth and nose.
This thod of doing multiple repetitions is called doing sets in the fitness world.
Taking a weight others can only lift once and doing sets with it is incredibly provocative.
Brother Tyre continued until the tenth ti, finally stopping, at which point the surrounding spectators revealed looks of amazent, doing sets of deadlifts with four hundred kilograms ten tis is a near-divine performance even in the steroid-abusing realm of powerlifting.
By this ti, Brother Tyre was flushed all over and breathing heavily.
With a fierce look, he beckoned Wang Ye to give it a try.
Wang Ye stepped forward and scooped out a handful of magnesium powder from the container, patting it on his palms to spread it for a while. This white powder called magnesium powder is often used in the sports world, mainly in gymnastics and weightlifting events. The dry magnesium powder particles can increase friction between the palms and the equipnt, allowing athletes to better grip the equipnt and complete various complex movents.
For example, in gymnastics rings events, athletes need to hang on the rings with both hands and perform large swings and rotations. If friction is insufficient, athletes may easily slip off the rings. The presence of magnesium powder increases friction between the palms and rings, providing athletes with more stable grip strength to safely and accurately complete movents.
Additionally, it can reduce wear and tear on the palms from equipnt; the magnesium powder forms a thin buffer layer between the palms and equipnt, reducing direct friction and thus lowering the wear on the palm's skin.
But actually, most athletes dust powder before training mainly for psychological reasons. It's like sprinters doing a self-encouraging move before a race. This habit can bring athletes a sense of familiarity and security, allowing them to feel more relaxed and confident during competition and training.
The process of applying magnesium powder can also help athletes concentrate, adjust their mindset, entering competition state. So athletes say when applying magnesium powder, they ntally review action essentials and competition strategy, boosting their confidence and determination.
For powerlifting influencers like Brother Tyre, the pre-training rituals are even more elaborate. Their preparatory acts include, but are not limited to, patting magnesium powder, sniffing salt, shouting, getting hit, getting insulted, etc...
To so outsiders, it seems like performing so sort of evil ritual of Descent of the Divine. But in fact, this "ritual" has very significant aning for those about to challenge their limits. Insults, beatings, shouting can temporarily spike testosterone and adrenaline levels, suppress pain perception, quickly puts the body into a fighting state, temporarily enhancing strength.
"Brother Tyre, does this kid have a chance to lift it?" A Caucasian runner quietly asked by Brother Tyre's side.
Brother Tyre rely scoffed, sipping water from his cup, saying: "This is four hundred kilos, you think it's possible? No matter how strong this kid is, he's just a marathon specialist, absolutely impossible to have the strength to deadlift four hundred kilograms."
But before the words were fully spoken.
Wang Ye on the opposite side had already grasped the barbell, effortlessly pulling it up.
The four hundred kilograms of barbell now seed like a warm-up move in his hands.
He maintained an extrely smooth movent, constantly putting it down and pulling it up again.
Compared to Brother Tyre's thod that caused intense dull sounds with each drop.
Wang Ye's lowering thod could almost be described as gentle, silent as falling petals.
With a suprely natural grace, he didn't make any noise throughout.
Creating an extre contrast with Brother Tyre's raging training thod.
Under Brother Tyre and other spectators' eyes filled with disbelief,
Wang Ye casually completed twenty deadlifts!
"Wh-What?!"
Brother Tyre was completely stunned.
He had trained in powerlifting since childhood, knowing nearly all the powerlifting celebrities within the circle.
Yet had never seen anyone manage to make lifting four hundred kilograms look so effortless.
Even Eddie Hall, who holds the deadlift world record, couldn't do it!
By this ti, other trainers in the gym also began to exclaim.
"How did this Asian guy do it?"
"This is four hundred kilograms, he actually did twenty reps?"
"His physique doesn't look that robust, how can he be so strong?"
"Is it Chinese Martial Arts??!"
By this ti, Brother Tyre's eyes were gradually getting bloodshot.
His cheeks flushed with blood, turning into a red patch.
"Again! Damn, I can add more weight!"
Brother Tyre put on a belt and support straps,
Evidently planning to challenge his limit weight.
Now Brother Tyre was already past his peak age, his strength compared to his youth declined, his limit deadlift weight is around 465kg,
While not the world record weight of five hundred kilograms, it's still a very top-tier weight.
Due to years of steroid injections, his male hormones are extrely developed, making his personality very irritable with a strong competitive nature, similar to the rumored hypermasculinity syndro, slightly provoking him would lead to violent tendencies.
So now that he was "insulted" by Wang Ye, he couldn't suppress his bad temper any longer.
Only to see him bringing many plates, loading them all onto the barbell.
Because the length of the barbell itself is limited, the number of plates that can be loaded is also limited. So when Brother Tyre loaded to the last, the barbell's sides had no space left, even needing ropes to fix them.
After several minutes of fiddling.
A barbell packed full of plates,
A 500kg barbell was presented in front of everyone.
This absurdly heavy barbell instantly drew in all the other trainers in the gym.
