Wang Ye soaked in the herbal bath for half an hour.
Until his fingertips were wrinkled from the soak.
He reluctantly stood up from the tub.
"This herbal bath really is sothing. Soaked for half an hour, and the training injuries are almost recovered."
Wang Ye tentatively pressed on the areas he had trained.
The originally bruised skin had now cleared of blood clots and returned to normal. Except for a slight ache when pressed hard, there was no significant pain.
The quick recovery was likely due to his inherently strong recuperative abilities, combined with this Golden Bell Shield herbal bath designed to eliminate hidden ailnts. The two together produced a miraculous effect.
Wang Ye stepped out of the tub, put on his workout clothes, and prepared to go exercise. He also planned to buy a few more sets of the Internal Replenishing dicine for Tai Chi and Golden Bell Shield herbal bath recipes he tested yesterday.
He brewed a cup of electrolyte water and put it in his bag.
Then he slung the bag over his shoulder, grabbed his keys, and walked out the door.
After taking the elevator downstairs.
Wang Ye, as usual, hit the road and started his running training.
His running speed always maintained a three-minute kiloter pace,
although this speed was now as easy as a walk for him.
Although Wang Ye’s running experience and techniques were barely equivalent to peak human standards, his physical abilities had long surpassed human peaks. Therefore, his true running speed actually surpassed the world record level.
If he wanted, he could casually run the entire marathon at a speed faster than three minutes per kiloter and even break Kipchoge’s two-hour record, officially bringing the marathon world record under two hours.
But since he hadn’t officially broken the world record yet, displaying his full potential in public might cause trouble prematurely.
Wang Ye ran at such an easy intensity purely to increase his skill level.
Regardless of how he trained, as long as he kept running, his skill level would gradually improve.
Though the improvent rate might be slightly slower than usual.
[You practiced running once, gained insight, skill level increased by 5.1%.]
After running forty kiloters, Wang Ye stretched and relaxed a bit by the roadside, consuming a few Energy Gels to replenish lost energy during the stretch.
With yesterday’s experience in mind, he didn’t run too far today but kept running around the roads near Longjiang District so that he could easily return ho to eat and replenish nutrients after his run.
After finishing the simple stretches.
Wang Ye got up and headed ho.
Planning to buy so herbs from the dicine shop, cook a few dishes, and take a nap after eating.
Following the navigation, Wang Ye arrived at the street with the dicine shop,
He walked along the street for about three minutes, not yet reaching the shop entrance, when he suddenly saw a sign for a Strength Training Hall at the end of a shabby alley. A young man in his twenties, wearing a black trainer outfit, was handing out flyers at the entrance.
"Strength Training Hall? Is it different from a gym?" Wang Ye grew curious and walked a few steps into the alley.
The young trainer, seeing Wang Ye approach, smiled warmly and handed over a flyer, courteously saying:
"Sir, interested in fitness, muscle gain, or weight loss?"
Wang Ye took the flyer and glanced over its contents.
The flyer generally introduced the facilities, trainers, and selling points of the gym, without much noteworthy content. However, it was evident that this place differed from typical comrcial gyms, for instance, calling itself a studio, with more refined equipnt, and mostly high-level fitness enthusiasts as mbers, clearly making it a comprehensive training studio.
"Take inside for a look," Wang Ye said.
"Sir, please follow ."
The young trainer led Wang Ye into the Strength Training Hall for a tour.
As Wang Ye toured the hall, he toyed with the barbell equipnt.
The space was small, only about two hundred square ters, and the equipnt was quite simple. Besides a weightlifting rack, there were two elliptical machines, two treadmills, and a bunch of dumbbells and kettlebells. In the corner were stacks of barbell plates, roughly calculated to weigh at least three hundred kilograms. Overall, though the equipnt seed basic, it was refined with an air of being compact yet complete.
Wang Ye tried to lift an empty barbell from the weightlifting rack with one hand.
It was an empty barbell without any plates added.
The barbell looked slender, yet had so weight, requiring a bit of strength to lift with one hand.
The young trainer, seeing Wang Ye playing with the barbell single-handedly, smiled and reminded him, "Sir, barbells are free weights and carry so risk. If you want to try, I can first guide you through a few movents."
"Sure."
Wang Ye returned the barbell to the weightlifting rack and began learning the weightlifting movents with the young trainer.
He had always wanted to try weightlifting.
Not because he liked weightlifting,
but to test his current strength level against an Olympic champion’s strength using these internationally standard composite movents.
Wang Ye first followed the young trainer, performing a sowhat standard power clean with the empty bar.
A power clean involves lifting the barbell rapidly from the floor to the shoulders.
This action requires coordinated muscle forces from all body joints, necessitating strong muscular support and certain technical skills. It’s a golden movent for developing explosive power and coordination, often used by athletes in fields like shot put and sprinting to build explosive strength in the core, hips, and legs through power clean training.
The young trainer, surprised at Wang Ye’s fast learning speed of the movents,
continued correcting so detail issues for him.
Wang Ye, guided by the young trainer, persistently refined his power clean movents without eagerly adding barbell weight.
With top-tier running experience, he knew well that mastering the basics and force techniques was crucial before diving into any sport, to minimize future risks, rather than mindlessly increasing weight or speed.
Weightlifting is like running. Not correcting running form before speeding up mindlessly only invites injury risks.
