After all, I've been working here for 10 years, and I'm very familiar with the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, thanks, Brother Hai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nods, his reply as concise as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai smiles, pats Fang Cheng on the shoulder, and then leaves the changing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His actions leave the other colleagues somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when did their relationship become so close?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xiaohai whistles, hands behind his back, walks into the second hall, appearing rather relaxed and comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, his mood has been like a roller coaster, fluctuating up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that Fang Cheng refused to intern in the marketing department and offended Manager Li, the hostility he once harbored vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, he would also ask about and comfort Fang Cheng, almost transforming into the most caring senior colleague for newcomers at the workplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in private, he would say that Fang Cheng is too hot-headed, aspires to be a big-time lawyer, and looks down on the small temple of the club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Step right and pivot left, guard left and circle right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the waist moves, the stance has to lead...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai's voice can be heard across the entire training hall spanning over a thousand square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng stands with his hands behind his back, silently watching a group of students practice various wrestling moves and power techniques as instructed by the coach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This class is an advanced course for old students, mainly teaching the application of wrestling techniques in Sanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kicking, striking, wrestling, and grappling are known as the four major techniques of Sanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former two draw from more advanced and practical combat techniques from abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter two encapsulate the essence of the nation's traditional martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, compared to the others, these moves are more straightforward and practical, devoid of any traditional routines' flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, as Xu Maochai would say in his lectures, wrestling techniques can be summed up in one phrase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use momentum to trip, cling to the root with the body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to remember that all wrestling moves in actual combat revolve around these four key points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai suddenly halts the students practicing basic movements and has them start pairing up to spar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students partner up, attempting various kinds of body throws and leg catch takedowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some take turns treating their classmates like punching bags for technique review, while others engage in a test of strength, struggling against each other with brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng watches them intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalls the coaching content while analyzing mistakes in their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, he gains an insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If maintaining one's center of gravity is most important for hand and leg techniques, then wrestling is about disrupting the opponent's balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successful wrestling doesn't necessarily require one to completely throw the opponent to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In actual combat, any part of the body—arms, torso, hips, or legs—can be used to execute techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply causing instability in the opponent already constitutes half the victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then with a light lean and a pull, one can use the momentum to take the opponent down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, one can quickly follow up with hand and leg techniques for a fierce offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effects were several times better than just wrestling alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students didn't think as much as Fang Cheng and were just having a blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the class of fewer than 10 people, the remaining lucky one was practicing with the coach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lucky one was thrown cleanly onto the ground by a \"shoulder insert back throw\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there were soft mats on the ground, it still took a good while for him to get back up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Maochai said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, I can stand still, and he can't throw me down, a simple pull, and he immediately falls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Because your strength is too weak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be successful in learning, relying on physical training three times a week is far from enough. After going back, persist in doing a few more sets of deep squats, try again in a month, and your lower body stability will definitely be stronger than now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others chuckled and didn't take it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that lucky student was frowning miserably, rubbing his butt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no one wants to be thrown around like a sack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, on the other hand, was full of envy, genuinely wanting to replace that student and try out the feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group class in the morning ended quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for lunch, and Fang Cheng went to the front desk to pick up his meal. When he came back, he was carrying three takeout bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the meals was the company's staff meal, and the other two were chicken leg rice takeout he had ordered for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, his colleagues asked out of curiosity if he hadn't eaten for several days to have such a big appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng didn't explain much, just saying he hadn't had breakfast and was eating enough for two meals in one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exercising in the morning, he had downed 10 boiled eggs, 3 boxes of pure milk, plus a steamer basket of xiaolongbao from the breakfast shop downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason his appetite had become so outrageous was all due to practicing deep squats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose the second option for yesterday's enhancement reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added 1 point to his Constitution attribute, bringing it to 13 points, and obtained the \"Loner\" skill effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside the topic of waking up with vigor in the morning for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng had read the book \"Prisoner Fitness\" and knew that the fundamental principle of exercising muscles was actually very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to first use overload resistance training to tear apart some muscle fibers of a specific muscle group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then use the body's own healing ability to repair and reorganize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human body's physiological mechanisms are very amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent similar situations from happening next time, there will be an overcompensation effect during this process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning the muscles will become harder and thicker, thus achieving the effect of enhancing the physique and reducing injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, etc. all follow this training mechanism within a certain tolerable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And testosterone, as the most active male hormone, is the important driving force behind this overcompensation effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Loner\" effect allows the body to secrete a higher concentration of testosterone than normal people during exercise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus stimulating the growth and enhancement of muscles and bones, continually increasing muscle bulk, and bone density.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that the same amount of training will have results several times stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the dietary intake required by the human body will also significantly increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an enhancement effect might look a little... off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, it's a real godsend skill for extra rewarding oneself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng was gnawing on the chicken leg, his attention entirely on the panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clicking into the character attributes column, lines of dense prompt messages instantly appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the practical verification from yesterday and today, he filtered out dozens of relevant messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that after every deep squat practice increases 1 point of experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, whether continuing to train or working, the appearance frequency of messages indicating every 0.001 point increase in Constitution and Strength attributes becomes exceptionally high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agility attribute was relatively more normal but also had a significant observable growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This effect could last for about 2 hours, with a gradually declining trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's like certain fitness fanatics who recklessly inject themselves with large doses of testosterone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Fang Cheng was using a skill, which was within the tolerable range of his physique, with much fewer negative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, his body would feel a bit hot, his blood flow felt faster, and occasionally, he would get a nosebleed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng chewed on the chicken bones and silently reassured himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as my constitution is strong enough, these side effects can be completely ignored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning up the three finished meal boxes, Fang Cheng walked out of the changing room, throwing the packaging bags into the recycling bins in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around to look at the training hall, he noticed several professional boxers who were always diligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed not to have eaten lunch, still persisting in doing weight-bearing deep squats, swinging barbell plates, and other anaerobic strength training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng's heart warmed up, and he couldn't help but think of the training plan he had made for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the \"Deep Squat\" skill had been enhanced and had become a real \"fuel pump\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a pity not to make good use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I need to step up the intensity too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng thought to himself and turned back towards the changing room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he prepared to challenge more difficult action options.\u003C\u002Fp>",1837,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.559Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","3787c5c6d965a3b5b157f9049ba31e1a82a3df8732577b9e71c315ff77c2adc5","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-22","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-20",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
