Chapter 211: Chapter 179: Grandmaster Level Squat, Ultimate Strength
Before dawn, the entire city was shrouded in a black curtain.
The windows of high-rise buildings in the distance were all tightly closed, with only sporadic light spots flickering in the darkness.
On the streets, the dim streetlights swayed in the cold wind, and occasionally vehicles hurried past at night, breaking the silence.
At this time, a figure silently appeared on the rooftop of the tubular building.
First, he did warm-up exercises such as stretching his limbs and jumping squats, then he began physical training.
He grabbed a two-meter-high water pipe with both hands, with a cowhide material waist belt tied around his waist.
The belt was equipped with a ring of hooks, and notably, 6 black barbell plates were hung with steel cables.
Dragging such heavy weights, his body was still able to continuously rise and fall, practicing Pull-ups.
Several minutes later.
Successfully completing a set of movements, Fang Cheng exhaled and lightly jumped to the ground.
Then, he unhooked the 6 barbell plates hanging from the waist belt one by one.
These fitness equipment were all ordered from a sports goods store.
The barbell plates were made of pure steel, with a black lacquer exterior that looked full of strength.
Each one was a 25KG specification, and a total of 10 were bought.
The goods had just arrived yesterday afternoon, and he had taken them out for morning practice today.
Compared to using sandbags filled with bricks as weights, using barbell plates was obviously much more formal, and the movements could be more fluid and relaxed.
If it weren’t for the fear that the water pipe would not withstand the stress, Fang Cheng would have had the capacity to add all 10 barbell plates to his body.
Of course.
This idea wasn’t quite practical.
Even if the water pipe could withstand it, the material of the waist belt could not reach such strength.
A 150KG barbell plate was already the maximum limit.
Standing in place, practicing Qigong for a while to soothe his body muscles.
Next, it was time for the next set of training.
Fang Cheng turned to look at other fitness equipment piled on the other side.
Tightening straps, long-shaped weighted iron blocks.
The tightening straps were somewhat similar to women’s fitness corsets, with different sizes and shapes, which could be tied around the waist, chest, upper arms, forearms, thighs, calves, etc.
Special fasteners designed to tighten steel were specifically installed at both ends, which could adjust the width and ensure they were tight enough when worn on the body.
The straps also had many long pockets, into which weighted iron blocks could be inserted as needed.
These items were all specially custom-made at a hardware workshop on Old Factory Street after he proposed specific requests to the master.
To rush the job, Fang Cheng had spent more than 1500 yuan.
The finished product looked pretty good.
Now was the time to test how effective it actually was.
Fang Cheng, following the sequence, tied the tightening straps on his legs and feet, waist, and chest, then inserted steel bars piece by piece.
All the weights added up to about 100KG, which was around 200 pounds.
Fang Cheng had originally planned to purchase tungsten steel bars as weights.
After all, the density of tungsten steel was about twice that of iron, making it more suitable for training.
Just that the workshop did not have so much inventory, and the price was prohibitively expensive, costing 300 yuan per kilogram.
Thinking it over, Fang Cheng temporarily gave up. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
He decided to wait until the iron blocks showed poor training results before replacing them with new alloy steel bars.
After fully dressing up, Fang Cheng supported the ground with six fingers on both hands and began practicing weighted Push-ups.
The specific plan for physical training was as follows:
300KG barbell plates to complete 300 double-handed pull-ups, 300 double-handed hanging leg raises.
200KG tightening straps to complete 250 six-finger push-ups, 100 double-handed handstand pushups.
500KG barbell plates to complete 250 double-leg deep squats.
Only the Back Bridge skill could be gradually improved through quantity, following the usual routine to perform 600 repetitions of Iron Plate Bridge standing up.
As the exercise continued, the surrounding scenery also gradually became clear.
It was like someone gently pulling open that huge black curtain.
The city sky, adorned with faint starlight, gradually turned to a silvery gray.
A nimble and robust figure stood at the top of a nine-story building.
As if stepping onto the stage, bathed in the morning light, freely stretching his muscles, and shedding sweat.
A series of experience gain prompts continuously floated past his eyes.
Suddenly, the panel burst into a light more dazzling than the sunlight.
It seemed some skills had broken through their limits and achieved promotion.
Fang Cheng did not attend to it for the moment.
The morning exercise had not yet ended, he still needed to fully immerse himself in practicing skills.
At this moment, he was shouldering a barbell bar, with 10 25KG barbell plates attached to both ends.
Maintaining a steady rhythm with such a weight, bending his knees to squat, and straightening his waist to stand.
Another half an hour passed.
As the sun rose from the city horizon, one set of skills after another was successively completed.
"Whoosh—"
Fang Cheng’s body shook, his sweat steamed, and two long streams of white air burst from his nostrils.
Finally, he had completed the training plan including physical training, Fighting Air Attack, and Qigong practice.
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat streaming down his face, Fang Cheng focused his eyes on the panel to check the gains from this morning’s training.
[Concentration Experience +3]
[Boxing Experience +4]
[Sanda Experience +5]
[Muay Thai Experience +5]
[Jujitsu Experience +6]
[Tai Chi Boxing Experience +7]

Using training equipment more tailored to his needs had slightly improved the efficiency of practicing various fitness skills compared to before.
This allowed some extra time to practice Fighting Skills.
