Start with push-ups to gain experience

Chapter 13 Diamond Push-ups

The sky was gray and raindrops kept falling on the glass.

The street scene outside the window seemed blurred into a light watercolor painting.

Fang Cheng tightened his waist and abdomen, straightened his body, and did push-ups with his palms touching his fingertips.

The temperature in Dongdu City dropped sharply again today.

The temperature indoors is close to zero degrees, and without air conditioning, it feels like being in an ice cellar.

However, Fang Cheng took off his coat and sweater one after another during the exercise.

In the end, I only wore a thin piece of underwear, and my vest was still soaked.

The whole body was like a steamer, with white smoke constantly rising.

His originally pale face became rosy and radiant, revealing unprecedented health and vitality.

"snort----"

Fang Cheng exhaled two long streams of white air from his nostrils.

Dozens of panel prompt messages appeared before my eyes like a waterfall.

………………

He straightened his arms, took a leap, and stood up easily.

Looking at the bright screen in front of him, a look of relief appeared on his face.

[Push-ups level 1 (0/250)]

“Another day, another successful goal!”

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and gasped to calm his pounding heart.

These three days since I came back from visiting my grandfather in the hospital.

In order to improve training efficiency and speed up skill upgrading.

He deliberately changed his training plan and chose to practice more advanced movement options.

For example, try wide-grip push-ups, diamond push-ups, high-five push-ups, etc.

According to the "Six Arts of the Prisoner", by adjusting the changes in body posture, it is possible to differentiate the muscle groups to be exercised and focus on strengthening specific parts.

If the difficulty coefficient of standard push-ups is 10, then wide-grip push-ups are 15, diamond push-ups are 20, and high-five push-ups are 25.

Wide-grip push-ups mainly exercise the lateral pectoralis major, triceps brachii and anterior deltoids.

Diamond push-ups use ultra-narrow hand spacing to limit the involvement of the deltoid muscles, thereby activating the pectoralis major and triceps more effectively.

The clapping push-up is more difficult and focuses on developing the synergistic explosive power of the pectoral muscles and triceps.

At the same time, it also stimulates the waist and abdominal core, which can improve the overall strength and coordination of the body.

Although the difficulty of advanced movements has increased significantly, the efficiency of training has also been significantly improved due to the clear division of labor.

Especially for diamond push-ups, which use the same amount of physical energy to complete the movement, the speed of experience gain is obviously higher.

It deserves the reputation of "diamond".

Fang Cheng picked up a bottle of mineral water and gulped it down his throat.

After resolving the dry mouth problem, take a look at the enhanced rewards of this skill upgrade.

【4 free attributes】

It is not as good as "boxing", but is similar to "concentration" and "speed reading".

Fang Cheng did not feel disappointed at all about this.

The enhanced rewards for skill special effects have a relatively low probability of being triggered.

What's more, he had already made plans to break through various physical attributes to more than 10 points as soon as possible.

You know, every 10 points of attribute is a qualitative leap.

Having personally experienced the actual effects of the physical changes, Fang Cheng could feel the difference even more.

Especially after reaching 11 points of physical fitness, the body's recovery speed is significantly accelerated, and the training intensity and amount of exercise can also be increased accordingly.

Now, Fang Cheng needs to complete 100 push-ups, 200 squats, and practice air strikes for at least half an hour every day.

Today's morning exercise also includes lying leg raises.

I did a total of 107 of them and successfully unlocked the "leg raise" skill.

Then use the rejuvenation effect stimulated by potential.

He broke through the experience limit again in one fell swoop and upgraded "Push-ups" to level 1.

After completing the established training plan, Fang Cheng even had some energy left and felt that he could add some more challenges.

At this moment, he focused his attention on the character attribute bar, silently calculating.

The progress bar for "Strength" has reached 95%. It is appropriate to temporarily add 2 points and then wait for improvement through self-training.

The progress bar for "Agility" is still early, and it is only 1 point away from exceeding the attribute critical point, so it can be upgraded to 10 points first.

As for "Physique", no matter how much, it is the most important direction to add points. As the mind moved slightly, the 4 available free attributes disappeared one after another.

At the same time, the specific values on the character panel also change.

[Name: Fang Cheng]

[Age: 23 years old]

【Strength: 9】

[Agility: 10]

[Physique: 12]

【Spirit: 18】

Fang Cheng clearly felt the drastic changes in his body as his attributes increased by 4 points in one go.

The blood rushed to the skin, making it red, and the muscles in the arms and legs seemed to have expanded.

Then it compresses inwards, becoming even tighter.

The body's limbs instantly feel relieved, becoming more relaxed, more coordinated, and more explosive.

After Fang Cheng tried to throw a few punches, he simply took off his clothes and was shirtless.

Go to the bathroom and look carefully in the mirror.

The muscles at the upper end of the arms are slightly bulging, and the triceps are beginning to take shape.

The chest seemed to be fuller, and the outline of the ribs was completely invisible.

The whole person has an upright posture and a well-proportioned body, without a trace of fat.

Even her temperament has changed greatly, her eyes are bright and full of confidence.

In summary, I have become more handsome and more charming.

The only drawback...

But the six-pack abs are still nowhere to be seen.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng smiled.

From the time I started exercising until today, it has only been a little over half a day a week.

To be able to achieve such a fitness effect has far exceeded expectations.

After admiring his own figure, Fang Cheng wiped the sweat off his face and then took a big sip of mineral water.

The cold liquid flows down the throat and into the stomach, bringing a burst of stimulation and making the spirit particularly excited.

Fang Cheng stretched his limbs and did some relaxation exercises while looking out the window at the drizzling rainy day.

There was a vague feeling of unfulfilled satisfaction.

"What a nice day, how about exercising a little more?"

I turned my head and looked at the alarm clock. 7:05.

It was still early, so I only exercised for 2 hours.

Improved physical fitness brings increased efficiency and increased frequency of gains.

Every time Fang Cheng trains, it feels like taking a super-strong nitrogen pump.

I have an incomparable desire for sports that I once avoided like the devil.

Correct.

It's not motivation, it's desire!

He really enjoys the feeling of getting feedback and gradually getting stronger through repeating simple exercises.

Some even become addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves.

Fang Cheng's eyes flickered and he made a decision in his heart.

Then he raised his fists and whispered to himself:
"Next, practice air strikes for half an hour."

"Keep up the good work!"

....................................

It was drizzling outside the window.

In the kitchen, there was the sound of pots and pans being washed.

In the living room, the radio was playing opera singing, the lingering charm was inspiring reverie.

However, this tranquility did not last long as it was broken by a burst of rapid crying.

He Huiqin poked her head out of the kitchen, shovel in hand, and called out helplessly:
"Mom, please help me coax Pengpeng."

Turning his head, he saw his daughter lying in front of the door, hesitating, and couldn't help but frown:
"Xiu Mei, why haven't you gone out yet?"

Zhou Xiumei lowered her head and bent over, placed her hands on the shoe, moved them casually a few times, and responded:
"Oh, I tied my shoe the wrong way round, I'll be leaving soon..."

Suddenly, I heard a "clang" sound, faintly coming from the next door.

She raised her eyes and saw through the gaps in the iron bars a tall figure appear in the corridor.

His face was slightly panicked, he quickly put on his shoes, and then said goodbye softly:

"I'm leaving."

Zhou Xiumei opened the iron gate with some difficulty, picked up the packing bag and umbrella, and walked out in small steps.

At this moment, I happened to see that figure passing by.

"Do you want to deliver food to Uncle Zhou today as well?"

Fang Cheng stopped with his bag on his back, and seeing her fully armed, he asked.

"Ah."

Zhou Xiumei held the bag and umbrella tightly in both hands, her long eyelashes drooped, and she let out a muffled groan from the scarf that covered half of her face.

"Come along, I'll get it."

Fang Cheng took the bag from her hand skillfully and said, "It's still raining outside, come and hold the umbrella for me."

Zhou Xiumei did not refuse, but just lowered her head a little shyly.

Holding the handle of the umbrella tightly in her hand, she followed him closely.
