I practiced in the United States

It was surprisingly easy, because it was the first time to practice, and Li Ang was still too conservative.

The second time, he directly increased the weight to 110kg. Before he could get started, a Hispanic uncle next to him reminded:

"Hey kid, if this is your first time, this weight is not something you should try. Maybe you should try 90kg first, or 85kg."

For novices, in fact, if they can double their weight on the first try, they are considered qualified.

Therefore, Li Ang tried 80kg from the beginning, which seemed very risky to him, but before he had time to remind him, Li Ang rushed directly, and even completed the weight.

But now, he is about to weigh 110kg, which is almost twice his weight.

In any gym, anyone who can squat twice his body weight must be a veteran who has been training for several years.

That's why he warned him. He couldn't bear to see this young man, who was as old as his son, injured and even lost his enthusiasm for fitness.

"Thank you, sir, but I still want to try this weight. Can I ask you to help me?"

Li Ang showed a friendly smile and responded to the uncle.

Others don't understand his situation, and it's hard for him to change their minds by reminding them out of good intentions.

The Hispanic uncle nodded. Since he really wanted to try, let him try. In the process of educating his children, didn't he also give him the courage to try things that seemed impossible?

If he has his own assistance, it is only 110kg, so there is no problem in ensuring that he does not get injured.

The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of many people around them. Although everyone did not gather around, they basically focused their attention on Li Ang.

Watching others hit heavy weights is something that gym people enjoy.

If they succeed, they will cheer for being awesome; if they fail, they will also be secretly happy in their hearts.

It seems contradictory, but this is the truest portrayal of the human heart.

Mao Mei on the side heard that Li Ang was going to try squatting 110kg, and her eyes almost rolled up in her heart. In her opinion, this was just a show of self-importance by a man with a low head in front of her, trying to attract her attention.

Li Ang stood under the barbell, while the bearded uncle just stood behind Li Ang slightly nervously, with his hands palms facing up, always ready to exert force.

Until he actually carried the 200-pound barbell on his back, Li Ang found that he still underestimated the power of his own characteristics. The concept of increasing leg strength by 40% was more powerful than he imagined.

From squatting to standing up, Li Ang's movements were quite smooth.

But his expression was not relaxed. The main reason was that his legs could indeed bear the weight, but his shoulders were really painful.

For Li Ang, who has never done farm work or picked up manure, this place involves his blind spot in exercise.

If it were other newcomers who had never practiced before, they would not try this weight at all. People who can lift heavy weights have basically trained for a long time, and their shoulders and backs are relatively able to adapt.

Although Li Ang's squat seemed a little uncomfortable, he was able to complete it without using any force.

The people next to him who were quietly paying attention to Li Ang also looked a little surprised.

The bearded uncle who was assisting on the side couldn't help but give a thumbs up and nodded in affirmation.

"Young man, your leg strength surprises me."

Although a 110kg squat is nothing to him, his weight is a full 90kg, which is not comparable to Li Ang's small body.

In addition, judging from his immature movements, it seems that this is the boy's first attempt at squatting.

With the strong adaptability of the human body and after a period of training, I believe he will soon be able to break through to 120kg, which is twice his own weight.

Even the weight of 130kg should not limit him.

The bearded uncle was thinking to himself, but suddenly found that this Asian young man was still adding weight to the barbell.

"Wait, wait, you can't make some inappropriate attempts just because of your recent success."

"I still want to try and see where my limits are."

Li Ang's sincere answer reminded the bearded uncle of his youth, when he was just like him and nothing could scare him.

The bearded uncle was silent for a few seconds, but still could not say a word of rejection. He just replied:

"Just try, I will protect you."

Li Ang smiled and nodded, and installed a 15kg barbell plate on it.

What he wants to try this time is 140kg.

The fat Jewish girl, who was originally a little unhappy because he successfully completed the 110kg squat, saw that Li Ang was still desperate to try 140kg. She immediately put down her cell phone that was still taking selfies and focused on Li Ang.

Squatting a weight of 140kg can only be accomplished by a small number of people in the entire gym, not to mention that the challenger only weighs 59kg.

At least among the people present, the number that can be completed cannot exceed the number of one hand.

For a time, Li Ang received more attention than when he practiced Tongbei Quan.

While Li Ang was still doing some mental construction, the white man who just won the fight came towards him while talking.

"Hey, brother, I want to add some bonus to your courage, okay? How about $1,000?"

Before Li Ang could speak, the bearded uncle said with an unhappy expression:

"Griffin, your gambling addiction is too big."

"My dear Blair, I am not the type to bully children."

Griffin answered while looking at Li Ang and said:

"If you can't do it, how about getting an annual membership card at this gym for one year?"

Although Li Ang felt that his bet was a bit strange, he still nodded decisively and agreed. How could there be any excuse for giving away money?

"Blair, my bet shouldn't be too excessive, right?"

The bearded uncle could only shake his head helplessly. If he won, he would get a thousand dollars in cash. Even if he lost, he would just apply for a card for himself. In all honesty, it was already very fair.

Li Ang was about to start, but was stopped again by Griffin.

"Don't be too impatient, my friends, are there any more of you who would like to join?"

Griffin smiled and looked at the people watching around him.

"You only need 100 yuan to participate. If he fails the challenge, you can get two months of gym time. If he succeeds, the money will be regarded as his reward. How about it, everyone?"

If he was still a little confused just now, Li Ang finally understood. On the surface, this person wanted to come over to make a bet, but in fact, he was definitely on his side.

After all, Li Ang's entire bet so far was nothing more than spending four hundred dollars to get an annual card.
