I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 72: Hard Pull (First Update)
The second floor of the National Sports Center.

The National Weightlifting Team is located next to the Boxing Club. In the past, anyone passing by this venue would feel like they had entered a primitive tribe. The savages of the primitive tribe would occasionally let out hoarse but extremely suppressed roars.

In addition to the roars, there would be the occasional "duang, duang, duang" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. A barbell weighing one or two hundred kilograms or even heavier would make the second-floor floor shake constantly.

Fortunately, the floor thickness of the sports center is more than 30cm. After laying the wooden floor, a thick layer of rubber floor was laid in the impact-bearing area for cushioning.

Otherwise, the badminton court on the first floor would be in trouble. Who knows, the roof might fall down while people are playing.

"More to add? It's already 220 with the bar." Xie Jingwei looked at the barbell in Fang Yu's hand, which was already slightly bent. The four red 25kg barbell plates on each side declared that the person who pulled it up had become a member of the 200kg club.

Fang Yu is not a powerlifter. He has only lifted 180kg before, and it was not easy to do.

"Add two more yellow slices."

As soon as Fang Yu let go, the barbell hit the ground with a "duang" sound, and several muscular men from the weightlifting team nearby couldn't help but look at him sideways.

After being promoted to a first-level arcane mage, Fang Yu's weight increased from 85 kg to 91 kg, but his body dimensions did not change much.

It should be that both bone density and muscle density have increased.

Fang Yu weighs 91kg, so a 220kg deadlift is not an outrageous result. But considering his height, it is a bit surprising.

Of course, it was just a little surprising.

With a deadlift coefficient of 2.4 times body weight, Fang Yu's weight is nothing compared to those steroid muscle zombies who have a deadlift coefficient of 3.5 times body weight or even 4 times body weight.

Standard Olympic plates (Olympic standard barbell plates) are 25kg red, 20kg blue, 15kg yellow and 10kg green.

After class, Fang Yu went to the boxing club to ask Li Yuxuan for the debt.

It is only natural to pay back debts, and Fang Yu has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Before he could find Li Yuxuan, he was stopped by Xie Jingwei.

Xie Jingwei was also somewhat happy to see Fang Yu. He had been wanting to get Fang Yu to the boxing club a few days ago. He had talked to Fang Yu on the phone and in person several times, but Fang Yu had not agreed.

When Xie Jingwei saw Fang Yu coming to the boxing club, he thought that the boy had changed his mind, but he didn't expect that the first time he opened his mouth, he asked him to help him borrow a venue from the weightlifting team.

Xie Jingwei was also a busybody, so without saying a word, he brought Fang Yu to the weightlifting team.

He also wanted to see how strong this guy was who knocked Mada down with one punch.

After adding two yellow barbell plates, the entire barbell weight has reached 250kg.

"Brother, can you do it? If not, don't try to show off. This weight is no joke. Don't hurt your waist for the sake of face. If your waist is injured, it will be a lifelong problem." A muscular man from the weightlifting team who was watching nearby stretched out his fingers covered with magnesium chalk and spoke in a lecturing tone.

Some people speak in a way that way. Even though they mean well and are clearly giving a reminder, the words and tone they use just make people feel uncomfortable.

Fang Yu smiled at the weightlifting man in a friendly manner and said, "Just give it a try. If you can't lift it, forget it. I definitely won't show off."

Fang Yu adjusted his standing posture, placed the barbell above his feet, stood naturally with his feet slightly wider than his hips, bent over and held the barbell with his hands hanging down, with his thumbs two fingers away from his calves, and took a deep breath.

Up!
The already slightly bent barbell offered only a slight resistance before leaving the deadlift platform in an instant.

"Wow! You're awesome, brother!" The strong men in the weightlifting team were all a little surprised. This result was definitely considered top-notch in their semi-professional team.

And from the looks of it, it seems like this guy hasn't used his full strength yet?
In fact, weightlifters rarely specifically focus on improving their bench press, squat, and deadlift scores. Most of them use these three skills as part of their daily training, and even avoid doing bench press and deadlift training with maximum weights.

I'm just afraid that if I do this kind of training too much, my movements will be distorted in the snatch and clean and jerk.

Many World Games-level athletes, especially those on the national team, basically do not measure their bench press and deadlift limits.

But the weightlifting teams at local and university levels are different. 99% of these athletes will never participate in any National Games or World Games in the future. It is very likely that they will become coaches or teachers.

Then the limit data of the three major items, bench press, squat and deadlift, are very important.

After all, there are not necessarily two or three long-term members in many gyms who can deadlift more than 200kg. If the coach's own data in these three items is very impressive, it will undoubtedly enhance his competitiveness in the industry.

Therefore, they know too well the meaning behind the data of deadlifting 250kg.

"Brother, have you taken drugs?" A muscular man about 1.75 meters tall couldn't help but ask, "You don't look like it from your body shape. Isn't this result too high?"

"Would you like to try with more weight?"

Fang Yu took two breaths, smiled and shook his head.

"It's almost the limit. If I add another 10kg, I guess the difference will be kg. I won't try it anymore."

Fang Yu said this, but he could feel that 250kg deadlift was far from the limit, and adding another 50kg should not be a big problem.

But if we add another 100kg, it probably won’t work.

A rough estimate shows that my current deadlift limit should be around 320KG.

But if the national weightlifting team really lifts 320kg, it would be too shocking.

You know, regardless of level, the current domestic deadlift record is only 340kg.

Of course, compared with the 462 kg deadlift world record set by British strongman Hall, there is still a long way to go.

Hall weighs over 170 kilograms...almost twice as heavy as Fang Yu...

Those guys are on steroids, have lost all agility, and are training to set higher records.

Fang Yu could clearly feel that his agility was not only not affected, but might have even improved a lot compared to the past.

If he were asked to fight with Mada again now, he was confident that even without throwing a single punch, he would be able to tire Mada out on the ring by dodging.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of physical fitness, Fang Yu can now reach the peak standard of ordinary humans.

No wonder a level 43 mage dares to take on the Star Destroyer.

Star Destroyer Cannon. Just from the name, it sounds more powerful than the Little Boy and the Fatty.

Fang Yu also tested his bench press data, and similarly he easily broke through his previous limit of 170kg. He even felt that he could use this weight to do strength training in sets of 12.

I am terribly strong now.

Fang Yu looked around with regret. It was such a pity that when he was pretending to be cool, all he was surrounded by were silly old men with muscles clapping and cheering, but there wasn't a single girl.

But when he saw Li Yuxuan hiding aside, Fang Yu's mood improved again.

"Yuxuan, let's go back to the boxing club and have a fight." Fang Yu showed his two rows of teeth and hugged Li Yuxuan with a sunny face. Li Yuxuan's face was full of fear, just like a good girl bullied by a bad boy.

"Um, Fang Yu, I remembered something else." Li Yuxuan was so scared that he was about to cry.

Ever since he saw Fang Yu defeat Mada last time, Li Yuxuan completely lost the idea of ​​revenge.

Just kidding, you can't win by using tricks, and you certainly can't win in a fight. And I made some inquiries these days and found out that Fang Yu actually got a scholarship. What kind of revenge is this?

Fang Yu chuckled: "Something else? Did you forget something?"

Li Yuxuan reacted immediately and took out his phone: "Forget it, forget it, I'll transfer the money to you now, and we're even."

Fang Yu received the transfer information a few seconds later, and his face immediately tensed: "What are you talking about? We are classmates, how can we be even?"

"If you need a magic show in the future, please tell me. Since you are an old customer, I will definitely not raise your appearance fee."
