Chapter 220 Temporary Limit

"According to the rules of the bench press competition, it is valid to perform at least one bench press without equipment..."

Johnson explained the general rules, then patted the barbell behind him and said: "There are three opportunities in total, add up according to your own situation, and take the last result, how about it?"

He Xia thought about it carefully, and felt that it was fairly standard, so she nodded and said, "No problem! How much do you plan to weigh for the first time?"

Johnson was about to lie down, when he heard He Xia's question, he smiled and pointed to the barbell: "170kg!"

The heaviest barbell plate in the GR club is [-]kg, and the barbell is also [-]kg.

On Johnson's bench press, there are three [-]-kilogram bars on each side of the barbell, and one [-]-kilogram bar.

This weight has reached the limit of the coach of the GR fitness club. Wang Zhitao, who is the strongest, can't guarantee that he can complete one perfectly, but he can move.

"One hundred and seven...Taozi, help me, I'll give you one hundred and five first!"

He Xia didn't intend to take any risks. He had never tried the limit of the bench press, so he planned to find out the feeling first.

"Alright, Brother Xia!"

Wang Zhitao was very active and did not lose confidence because of He Xia's low weight for the first time. Warming up is very important!
"Johnson's limit is more than 80.00 kilograms, [-]% is used as a warm-up, what is your limit, one hundred and fifty can't do it, don't get hurt!"

Zhou Shiliu stepped aside and replaced Xiao Xueguang to help He Xia put on the barbell, and asked.

"At this time, you think of caring about me, don't worry about it!"

He Xia himself is full of confidence, and the protection measures are perfect. At worst, he loses, and he won't get hurt anyway.

"Xia, I'll start first!"

Johnson said to He Xia that he was ready.

"Ok!"

He Xia turned around and looked at the bench press chair not far from him. Johnson's two strong bodyguards were standing next to the barbell, one on the left and one on the right. At the same time, there were two coaches, four of them divided into two sides for protection.

170 kilograms, an accident is terrible, and it is necessary to ensure that the barbell falls on the bench. At this time, someone around you needs to protect it.

"call!"

Johnson held the barbell with both hands, let out a mouthful of dirty air, and then took a deep breath. Then the muscles in his arms bulged, and the barbell was lifted by him. The high-quality equipment did not make a collision sound, and it was quiet.

"Sure enough, it's not difficult at all..."

"Then what do you think, the boulder limit is more than 200 kilograms, how difficult can one hundred and seventy kilograms be, the difference is one hundred catties less, brother!"

"It's really a monster. Tell me how he practiced. Why do we practice every day, but we can't break through?"

"People are different, man, don't take it too seriously, five, six, seven..."

when!
In one breath, Johnson did seven, and put the barbell firmly on the rack.

If a certain coach of the GR club reached the level of [-], he would definitely win a lot of applause, but there were not many voices in this session, and everyone showed an expression that was as expected, because this is really normal...

He Xia clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, it's my turn, logically it should be one hundred and fifty first!"

Johnson waved his hand with a humorous expression, signaling He Xia to please start.

"Brother Xia, come on!"

"Come on, Brother Xia!"

He said he thought Johnson was amazing, but the coaches still supported He Xia. When he was about to do it, six or seven came over to protect him.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you going to do..."

He Xia lay down, looking at the dark crowd in front of him, very speechless.

"Are you afraid that I will crush you to death? You have to refuel at one hundred and fifty, what will you do later, save the refueling until the third time, be good, be obedient, four people are enough."

Everyone laughed and scratched their heads, and many people withdrew.

He Xia lay down, and also took a deep breath. He first held the middle of the barbell with his left hand, and pushed hard. It was very difficult, and he could shake it, but he couldn't lift it stably.

"Brother Xia, don't make trouble..."

Wang Zhitao thought that He Xia wanted to pretend to lift with one hand, and said with a smile, if he could really lift 150 kg with one hand, then he would have a place in the world bench press competition!
He Xia didn't speak, and then held the middle of the barbell with his right hand, holding it so tightly that the contact between the palm and the barbell turned white!

"rise!"

With a low cry, the barbell was lifted up with a whimper, but before everyone could react, it fell back again, but there was no bang, just a not too loud crash.

? ?
Many coaches rubbed their eyes.

"What happened just now?"

"Low, lie down, brother Xia, did you raise it with one hand?"

"Not sure, the process is too fast, it seems to be..."

Johnson's eyes were wide open. He was relaxing his arms just now to prepare for the next set, but he didn't see too clearly. It seemed that He Xia raised the barbell with his right hand, got up very quickly, and then fell back very quickly. , this is outrageous!
He looked at the two bodyguards around him with puzzled eyes, and they nodded with puzzled expressions.

"Githers, he has Godzilla genes in him!"

Zhou Shiliu, Wang Zhitao, Xiao Xueguang, and another coach who was protecting him were the four who could see the most clearly. They couldn't even keep up with their movements, because it never occurred to him that He Xia would actually raise his hand with one hand. All of a sudden!

Without giving everyone time to react, He Xia already had an intuitive concept of 150 kilograms in his mind. He held the barbell with both hands, made five quick reps, and then put the barbell back.

The two guards looked at each other, so quickly?
Strictly speaking, He Xia's bench press didn't stay at the top for long enough, but no one questioned it. This is not a competition with strict rules and regulations, as long as everyone understands what's going on...

"Xia, you successfully ignited the flames of war in my heart, I have to be serious!"

When He Xia sat up, Johnson patted his chest, took off his vest, and released all the restraints. The opponent was a bit strangely strong, and he had to go all out.

"Haha, are you still planning to beat me easily?"

He Xia smiled brightly, and continued: "Let me come first for the second time, Taozi, Lao Xiao, two hundred kilograms!"

"two hundred……"

"Brother Xia is mighty!"

When, when.

While putting on the weight plate, Wang Zhitao said to the colleagues around him: "Hey, the shouting was quite fun, everyone, don't forget what you said before, when Brother Xia wins, each of them owes me a meal, which is enough for me for half a month! "

"This……"

"Brother Xia is not mighty..."

"Brother Xia, why don't you consider releasing some water? The boulder has come across the ocean, right? Give the guest some face, let's not be the first, let the guest win!"

"Yes, yes, I'm a guest from afar, not to mention that he's a guest on your show, so don't bully him!"

A group of people were joking around, typical wall-to-wall sloppy, but no one really cared.

He Xia gave them a smile that he understood, and lay down on the bench press chair again.

"Two hundred kilograms..."

With a mutter in my heart, I held my hands at the two-hand grip position marked on the barbell bar, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed the barbell up!
Everyone's hearts hung with the barbell...

Zhou Shiliu and Wang Zhitao stood on both sides with solemn expressions. He felt that it was not enough, so he gave his colleagues a wink and called them over.

Before the coaches could react, Johnson's two bodyguards joined the ranks of protection under Johnson's signal.

Two hundred kilograms, if it suddenly falls, six people can catch it steadily without any problem!

But He Xia won't let that kind of thing happen.

This time the bench press was no different from the previous group. He did it very slowly, with his arms bent. Seeing the barbell press against his chest muscles, he lifted up quickly, straightened his arms, and then slowly bent.

The weight of [-] kilograms on each side bends the high-quality barbell bar slightly, and the visual impact is full!
"Fall slowly, rise quickly, is this really two hundred kilograms?"

Some coaches shook their heads in disbelief, their eyes full of astonishment.

To fall slowly means that the weight is still under control, and to get up quickly requires extremely strong explosive power!
The incomparably standard movement means that [-] kilograms is not the limit. This is too scary, and many people have goosebumps.

Johnson put his hands on his hips, his dark skin was covered with sweat, and looked at He Xia with a serious expression. He couldn't understand where He Xia's strength came from, and had to believe that the other party really knew the mysterious inner strength of the East...

It took about half a minute, He Xia did five, and put the barbell back steadily.

Everyone's hearts were put back into their stomachs following the steady barbell, and there was no sound at the scene, except for the sound of swallowing saliva.

Johnson's two bodyguards stared at He Xia with weird expressions for a long time, and finally walked back to his boss.

"Xia, you really surprised me, but you can't beat me at this level, Lance, 210 kg!"

Johnson ordered the bodyguard to put on the barbell!

It has approached the limit, but has not yet broken through.

Everyone's eyes moved to Johnson's side, it was very quiet, no one was clamoring, they just watched quietly, and someone silently took out their mobile phone and began to shoot.

Not disappointing, Johnson steadily pushed up 210 kg, which does not seem to be much different from 180 kg, breaking his performance on social media!

"I never thought that I could win easily. In the last round, show your true skills!"

He Xia grabbed the collar and took off her blouse with a splash. Her well-proportioned figure looked very coordinated, and her muscle lines were not as exaggerated as Johnson's. They were soft and natural, giving people an indescribable beauty.

Johnson pursed his lips and looked at He Xia, saying: "It seems that it is difficult to tell the winner in three rounds, why not change the rules a little bit, in the last round, each person writes the weight, takes the middle value, and sees who does more and who Just win, how about it?"

Judging from the current situation, the level of the two seems to be about equal. If the previous rules are followed, whoever comes first in the last round will have a high probability of losing, which is very unfair.

He Xia thought for a while, nodded and said, "No problem."

Soon, a coach handed He Xia and Johnson a pen.

The two wrote a number on their hands respectively, then came together and spread their palms at the same time.

The onlookers looked at each other after seeing the numbers.

"Oh oh oh……"

Johnson shook his head with a weird smile. Judging from the numbers on his palm, he actually lost.

He Xia: Two hundred and six.

Johnson: Two hundred and three.

"Well, 240 five kilograms, come or not?"

He Xia clenched her palms tightly and said with a smile.

"Fight!"

Johnson waved his arms vigorously to encourage himself. His limit is 230kg, and 240kg has already broken through the limit. He is confident, but not enough.

He Xia dared to write two hundred and six, naturally he was somewhat sure, and said with a smile: "Let's start together!"

Soon, the weight of the barbell was adjusted. In order to meet the fraction of five kilograms, a small 2.5KG barbell was hung on the outermost part of a stack of thick barbells, which looked very cute.

All coaches, plus two bodyguards, more than ten people divided into two waves, all joined the ranks of protection, no one dared to take it lightly.

"Two, pay attention, let's start!"

Zhou Shiliu gave the order simply.

Hearing only two heavy muffled groans, he saw the barbells on both sides being lifted up!

On Johnson's side, there are blood vessels faintly showing on the forehead, clenching his teeth and even exerting force on his mandible...

He Xia was also not relaxed, her eyes were slightly squinted, the veins or blood vessels in the neck were very obvious, and the management of facial expressions was slightly better than that of Johnson, and it was not too exaggerated.

When there was no force before, everyone didn't feel that there was anything special about He Xia's muscles, but this time he exerted almost all his strength, and the shape of the muscles changed a lot.

The muscle tissue is not thick, but the muscle group is very regular, so regular that it looks like the human muscle map posted on the wall of the biology classroom...

Someone saw He Xia's muscles, and a Chinese figure popped up in his mind, Bruce Lee, exactly the same.

The coaches who provided protection for He Xia didn't understand why such a rich boss would develop his body to such an extent, isn't he really afraid of being overdrawn...

Before everyone could continue to think wildly, He Xia bent his arms in a strong step and started to do the first one.

It's not as standard as the previous two hundred kilograms, but it still meets the standard. The speed of pushing is still fast, but it can be seen that the right hand is obviously much stronger than the left.

110 kg on each side, the barbell was deformed under the pressure. During the lifting process, the two sides swayed, and the visual impact was very strong.

After He Xia finished one, he frowned slightly. It was obvious that the right hand was strong and the left hand was weak. He adjusted the position of the grip in an extremely difficult situation, allowing more weight to be tilted to the right hand.

When He Xia started to do the second one, Johnson finally made a move.

Holding it up is easy to say, but bending and then lifting it is difficult.

After waiting for a long time, Johnson made up his mind that he didn't care about winning or losing the game. If he could do one, it would be considered a self-breakthrough, so he began to bend his arms.

The people around him who were protecting him were all sweating. Johnson's expression was so frightening that his two eyeballs were about to bulge out of their sockets.

When the arms were bent to a similar degree, they began to push upwards with all their strength. The muscles in both arms were trembling. Amidst everyone's fear, they finally completed one.

But when he went on to the second one, before his arms were fully bent, he felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Lan..."

On one side, the four people with quick hands and sharp eyes jointly lifted the barbell. With a large number of people and great strength, they easily put the barbell back on the rack.

Johnson let out a long breath, let off the weight on his hands, his arms were still shaking slightly, he turned his head to look at He Xia.

"Lance, did I just make a complete one?"

"Yes, boss, for one, you broke through the machine selection, but I regret to tell you that you are about to lose..."

Lance held his forehead in regret. He was facing He Xia, and saw that He Xia had finished two and was working on the third one!

"Oh, it's so exciting. Winning or losing is no longer important to me. I broke through the limit. Don't disturb Xia. Just look at him... Hurry up!"

Johnson was about to talk about seeing how much He Xia could do, when he saw that He Xia finished the third one, and when he started the fourth one, his left arm suddenly sank. Lift the barbell to the rack.

Even if more weight is distributed to the right arm, the relatively weak left arm is still unable to load, which is a short board.

The result of the competition is clear at a glance, Johnson has one, He Xia has three...

"One of you counts as the other, so don't try to renege on your debt, haha, Brother Xia is mighty!"

Wang Zhitao was so happy that he was more excited than anyone else. He opened his eyes and won a half-month feast at the same time.

"summer……"

Johnson stood up and walked to He Xia, saying, "I really want to take you to the laboratory for anatomical research, to see what kind of structure you are!"

Zhou Shiliu quietly approached He Xia, poked his arm, squeezed his shoulder, and patted his back, with a strange expression on his face, both excited and obsessed.

He Xia pinched Zhou Shiliu's restless hand, and smiled at Johnson: "Is it very special? It feels a bit similar to Bruce Lee in the early years."

"Bruce Lee?"

Johnson was taken aback for a moment, thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It seems reasonable to say that, Bruce Lee's muscles are not thick, but his strength and explosiveness are extremely strong..."

"It seems that this may have something to do with race. My muscles are so weak. I need to work harder when I go back!"

Johnson frowned and shook his head.

"Jushi, what is the level of our achievements in the world's top bench press circle?"

He Xia patted the barbell next to him, and asked with a smile. He felt that 240 kg was close to the limit. If he really followed the 260 kg he wrote down, he might not be able to do any of them, so he could only hold it up...

However, for him, it is not difficult to increase his strength, attributes such as points will gradually be obtained after a long time, and his physical fitness will not stagnate!

Hearing He Xia's question, Johnson spread out his hands and said, "Unfortunately, Xia, I want to tell you a cruel fact. With our 240-[-]kg score, we can't touch the threshold of the top bench press circle!"

Afterwards, Johnson made a general introduction.

Today's world record without equipment and strict drug testing is 322.5 kilograms. Under the same competition system, there are more than 20 people who weigh more than [-] kilograms.

"More than 300 kilograms..."

Now it was He Xia's turn to be surprised. He once thought how powerful he was, but it was a pity that he still didn't look good enough in front of the world stage!
There is still a gap of nearly 240 kilograms between [-] and [-]. For normal people, this gap is an insurmountable gap in a lifetime.

Even if He Xia can increase the attribute value through glory points or completing tasks, at least three to four points of strength are enough...

"They are all upper body monsters, but in my eyes, you are no different from them. You have to know that the arm circumference of those who bench press more than [-] kilograms is several times yours. If you look at the same muscle thickness, you are the world's largest. First!"

Johnson said with affirmative expression.

"Well, I believe it too!"

He Xia nodded with a smile, not modest at all.

After all, the two laughed.

The manager of the fitness club repeatedly urged the coach who recorded the video not to spread it to the outside world, so as not to bring unnecessary disputes to the club...

It's okay to know some things, but you can't publicize them to the outside world. If they cause trouble to rich people, it will be very troublesome.

Frequent contact with special groups of people, the coaches will pay more or less attention to this aspect, but they can't suppress the wonder in their hearts no matter what.

It was originally planned that He Xia and Johnson would wrestle on the stage, but due to the bench press that broke the limit, the muscles of the two were weak in many places, and they could not exert their full strength even on stage, so it was cancelled.

In fact, He Xia still has strength left, his right arm is not affected, it is enough for wrestling, but there is no need to say it out, as long as everyone is happy.

In the following time, He Xia, Zhou Shiliu, and Johnson sat in the rest area and chatted about investment, while Johnson's two bodyguards changed into protective gear and went to the boxing ring to gesticulate with the coaches.

The main thing was that Zhou Shiliu was chatting with Johnson, and He Xia basically didn't participate, just sat and listened.

One talks about finance, the other talks about entities and film and television. It is amazing that they can talk together. It seems that they have nothing to do with each other, but some magical points of contact can always be found.

After a while, Johnson found that He Xia was sitting beside him smiling and not talking, so he said, "Xia, besides reality shows, what else do you usually play?"

He Xia knew that playing refers to investment projects, not entertainment projects.

"My industry is nothing interesting, a dairy company, and then I collect rent, haha."

He Xia spread out her hands, expressing helplessness.

He had heard Johnson say that he had invested in smart watch companies, robotic arm companies, clean energy, and so on. Although the size is not large, it is a start-up company, but it is quite dynamic and interesting.

"Oh, Xia, you're so young, why don't you consider emerging industries? Collecting rent...is too old-fashioned, and that's something old men in their [-]s and [-]s are keen on."

He Xia said: "I haven't met a suitable one yet. If I have time to go out for a walk, if I meet someone who is interested, I will definitely make a move!"

Zhou Shiliu didn't know why He Xia didn't mention the genetic engineering laboratory, and she was curious, but if He Xia didn't mention it, she wouldn't foolishly sell her teammates.

"You can indeed consider going out for a stroll. There are many technology exhibitions held in the beautiful country every year, and many outstanding start-up companies will seek funds at the exhibition."

Johnson said: "Some people predict that the next technological singularity will explode in the next ten years or so. Many friends around me are investing in technology companies. I hope that the companies I invest in will shine in the future and become a company like Apple, haha. "

"It's enough to bet on one field. It's unimaginable to bet on a company. Next time, if I go to the beautiful country, I will definitely trouble you!"

He Xia said.

Johnson opened his arms wide, and said with a smile, "Trouble is welcome. Trouble is the last thing I'm afraid of, haha!"

After some chatting, He Xia mainly inquired about news from various sources. At around four o'clock, everyone left the GR fitness club.

Due to the time difference, Johnson and the others went back to the hotel to rest early, and He Xia took Zhou Shiliu to the place where the driver picked her up.

Before getting off the car, Zhou Shiliu sent a WeChat message to He Xia, saying, "I sent you the phone number of the head of the Grizzlies, Siegfried Eggert, if you have any questions, just contact there."

"You are still thoughtful, haha, thank you!"

He Xia glanced at the number and said with a smile.

Zhou Shiliu jumped out of the car and said, "I received news that a fishing boat has harvested and will return to Hokkaido in a few days. Kaiseki Hanaden in the capital has ordered a small amount of bluefin tuna. Don't miss the appointment!"

He Xia was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Fishing boats, Hokkaido, and the Japanese grocery store in Beijing, why are you so well informed? Could it be that you are a spy of an intelligence organization?"

"Hey, the immortals have their own tricks!"

He Xia doesn't know how much Zhou Shiliu puts into eating. He is not interested in eating, so he can't understand it, but he can understand it.

"Contact me when you arrive, I wish the recording of tomorrow's program goes well, and then it will be a celebration!"

"It must be successful, tomorrow morning I will go there by myself, bye!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shi raised his hand and closed the car door, and walked towards Alpha not far away.
