fragile wrist’s flexibility and hardness to receive a 100% boost on basic attributes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enhanced flexibility and hardness of the wrist at the same time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng contemplated the reward content silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then decisively chose the second enhancement option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wrist is one of the most fragile and vulnerable joints, yet it is one of the most frequently used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly for many fitness enthusiasts, the wrist is indeed the most prone to injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether doing push-ups, pull-ups that rely on one’s own weight, or bench presses, deadlifts, and bicep curls at the gym.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This region connecting the palm and the forearm is constantly under stress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it is extremely delicate, with small bones and thin muscles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This structure allows the wrist to perform flexion, extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it also makes it particularly susceptible to injuries from strong external impacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng could vividly feel this during routine training and combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desiring to throw powerful punches, while also having to consider the posture to minimize rebound damage to the wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the panel’s enhancement reward, practicing fist push-ups and one-handed push-ups would be good strengthening exercises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After making his choice, Fang Cheng squeezed and flexed his right wrist with his left hand a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully perceived the significant changes brought by the skill effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even felt like the small cut on the back of his wrist from a butterfly knife could be disregarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes fell on the panel, reviewing the current status of all his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Speed Reading lv1

still at the beginner stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most significant progress has been in the fitness and martial arts skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two skills from Prisoner’s Six Arts have already reached master level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progress bars for the other three skills are also steadily advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days, the last skill \"Handstand

more on actual combat to improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, following several consecutive wins in combat, I’m close to breaking through lv1 to reach master level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inspecting the Skill Panel, Fang Cheng then turned his attention to the 9 Free Attributes that were previously reserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to apply all these attributes now to achieve a breakthrough in Strengths and Agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first added 2 points to Strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Strength value jump to 20 on the panel, he immediately felt a surge of immense power erupt from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body inflated rapidly, like a balloon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood rapidly pulsing, flesh reddening, and the joints crackled like firecrackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seconds later, his arms, torso, and thighs were significantly bulkier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exaggerated swell of the muscles was on par with those of bodybuilding champions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This feels a bit like Shijima Gorou after going Berserk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng furrowed his brows, bending his arm to take a closer look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protruding biceps were hard and elastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering, he then added the remaining 7 Free Attributes to Agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a miracle happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Agility also broke through to 20 points, the whole body underwent an inward compressive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst brief intense pain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those excessively bulging muscles quickly shrank, as if coarse iron was being refined into fine steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his figure returned from the bulkiness of a big brute to a state close to a normal person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng’s brow relaxed, exhaling as if a burden had been lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous somewhat sluggish heaviness disappeared, and the body seemed to become lighter and more coordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Movements fluid, his eyes sharpened, and his arms retracted, unleashing several jabs in front of him as swift as lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each punch, there was a crisp popping sound, like firecrackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was currently shirtless, so it was definitely not the rustling of sleeves caused by moving arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor was it a sonic boom due to punches exceeding the speed of sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would require breaking the 340 meters per second mark, which his current physical strength isn’t capable of yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng, with his high Spirit Attribute, sensed the changes within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew clearly that this was the effect caused by his tendons and ligaments snapping and contracting in a very short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he could only produce a faint sound from the force of a full-strength punch,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unlike now, where a few casual jabs could easily do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the explosive power of his body had grown to an extremely terrifying level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I am...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng slowly clenched his hands, his knuckles cracking loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a chill in his groin area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, he noticed that the athletic pants he was wearing had their seams stretched open during the muscle expansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had turned into open-crotch pants, quite luckily the elastic underwear didn’t tear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Fang Cheng quickly scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the momentary absence of people passing by, he quickly took his jacket from the horizontal bar, put it on, and ran out of the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the training can wait until I get home!\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b50ffd22e46df035eee0f376570b1065a179cfd1f92bb9d4a7488b40a8f23f1","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-62","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-60",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
