Chapter 2105 The Ultimate New World (XI)

When he pulled 200 kg, Bruce didn't feel anything and completed a knee-bent deadlift in a very standard posture.

When he pulled 250 kg, Bruce felt something was wrong. Why was it so easy this time?

When the big guy next to him hung a 300 kg barbell plate on him, Bruce was in a dilemma. He couldn't say that he had never succeeded in pulling 300 kg, right?

So he decided to give it a try even if he couldn't do it. It was embarrassing, anyway, it wasn't the first or second time.

Thinking of this, Bruce gripped the bar, straightened his back, tightened his core, and the moment he exerted force, the barbell easily left the ground.

Bruce slightly widened his eyes and lowered his head in disbelief. He even had time to hesitate for two seconds before completing the standard deadlift.

"Ha, look at this guy, he's showing us his muscles." The big guy next to him said with a smile, "It seems we have to make it a little more difficult for him."

The barbell plate was directly increased to 350 kg. Bruce was a little hesitant when he held the bar. This weight was far beyond his limit of deadlift. He didn't want to be sent away with a cerebral vascular rupture on the spot.

He decided to try his best. If he felt that it was really beyond his limit, he would just give up. Anyway, it was already very good for him to pull 300 kg with this weight. Everyone was at this level, so he wouldn't be laughed at.

Tightening the core again, the muscles of the whole body swelled. Before Bruce could react, the barbell left the ground again, and it was another perfect knee-bent deadlift.

Cheers sounded around immediately, and the big guy who had pulled 320 kg before was a little unconvinced. He walked up and waved to Bruce, meaning that he also wanted to try 350 kg.

As expected, 350 kg was also pulled up, but it was obvious that the veins were bulging and his face was red. It seemed that he had reached the limit.

Everyone wanted to see the excitement, so the big guy in charge of the barbell plates added another 30 kilograms. Now the weight of the barbell has reached a terrifying 380 kilograms, which is already a weight that can appear in weightlifting competitions. For amateur athletes, just looking at the thick barbell plates is already terrifying.

But at this time, another big guy walked out of the crowd. This guy is not in the same weight class as everyone before. He is nearly two meters tall and about the same height and width. After changing clothes, he is the common bear man in strongman competitions.

This guy just came up and easily pulled up 380 kilograms, and even pulled two.

Bruce sighed in his heart, I am only 170 pounds, how can I compete with all the masters?

I saw the strongest big guy waved his hand to the side, and soon the barbell was increased to 400 kilograms. Bruce had a headache looking at the thick stack of barbell plates.

The second person who came up took the lead in the challenge. Bruce saw that his whole body turned red like a steamed shrimp. He pulled up with all his strength, and the barbell was slightly off the ground. Obviously, he failed.

The strongest strongman came up again, and did a standard deadlift. Then it was Bruce's turn, and there was a series of boos from the audience.

But this was not directed at Bruce. The main reason was that this competition was too unfair. The weight difference between the two was not a little bit. It was a bit too anti-human to let Bruce's body type to deadlift 400 kilograms. Why don't you let an ant lift an elephant?

Bruce didn't care. Basically, since he was sensible, what he did was not completely successful. Anyway, it was either a complete failure or a partial failure. He was already very accustomed to failure.

Bruce thought about pretending, so he still held the bar in the previous standard posture. At the first moment of exerting force, he had only one thought, why is this thing so light?

Bruce reacted a little slower, and he pulled the barbell up directly. There was silence around him. The reason for not cheering was that everyone was stunned.

Most people are relatively accurate in visually estimating their weight. 170 pounds deadlifts 900 pounds, which is five times their own body weight. If you have the ability to stay here as a small drug tester, why don’t you go and win the world championship?

Bruce realized that something was wrong even if he was slow, so in the next match, he decisively said that he really couldn’t pull it.

The onlookers understood it better. Maybe Bruce just exploded, and often breaking through the limits of his body will pay some price, so it’s normal that he can’t pull it later.

But the big guy who was fighting with him seemed a little dissatisfied. Bruce could see that this guy was probably a professional and could observe that he didn’t try his best just now.

What’s going on? Bruce himself was also very strange. Can changing the universe also increase strength?

Suddenly Bruce reacted. In fact, he was not the only one who was abnormal. Several people who had deadlifted before showed strength that was obviously inconsistent with their fitness level. Some people couldn’t straighten their backs when deadlifting, and their cores couldn’t be tightened, but they could still pull professional-level weights. Isn’t this even more strange?

Combined with Bruce's previous speculation, this might be the change caused by the poisoning behind the scenes. Although he has not been here for a long time, he has also drunk tap water to save money. Could it be that this mysterious toxin has also affected him?

Then he went to do the dodge reaction ability test, which is a method commonly used in the military to conduct comprehensive tests on people's reaction ability.

The test method is that there are three laser transmitters in front of them, which will flash at different frequencies. The subject stands in the middle and stretches out his two arms to block the lasers on the left and right sides.

The subject needs to block the laser light that flashes and stays on as quickly as possible, using his arms to block the left and right sides, and standing still in the middle. He cannot move during this period.

After Bruce went up, the laser started flashing immediately, and he could vaguely see some people standing opposite him operating the equipment.

Bruce was distracted, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind. He instinctively raised his right arm, and the red laser hit his palm. "Please don't guess and raise your arm in advance, sir." A prompt came from the radio, "This project tests reaction ability, not luck."

Bruce also thought that he might have been distracted just now, and his brain was cramped, so he wanted to raise his arm in advance, so this time he focused on the three machines in front of him, ready to intercept the laser as soon as the flashing stopped.

As a result, for some reason, Bruce took a step to the right a second before the flashing stopped, perfectly avoiding the laser light that was directly shot at his chest.

A sigh came from the radio, and Bruce said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"Forget it, sir, you may not be suitable for this test, please go to the next one."

The other party said so, Bruce couldn't stay and stay, although he felt that the situation just now was a bit strange, but there was no chance to continue to verify.

Then there was the flexibility test, which was simple. Just do a few movements according to the other party's requirements, and then test the sit-up.

But this item that is also tested in middle school physical examinations has stumped many big guys. Bruce was stunned when he walked over. The backs of these people seemed to be filled with cement, and they couldn't bend no matter how hard they bent.

This shows that these people are not very adaptable to the sudden appearance of muscles. The sit-up is not just about pressing down hard, the way the muscles exert force is also very important.

And in the gym, it is not just about training muscles. Stretching is an indispensable part of fitness. People who exercise all year round cannot be less flexible than those who don't exercise at all.

After Bruce went up, although his performance was not particularly good, he was already the tallest among the short people. Some people couldn't even touch their calves when they pressed down, but they were still competitive and pressed their parents to tears.

The last round was a physical function and endurance test, which was to measure basic values ​​such as heart rate and blood pressure after about 20 minutes of jogging on the treadmill, which could almost infer a person's endurance level.

Bruce didn't know the specific data, he just felt that he didn't blush or beat after running this time, as if he had recovered the moment he slowed down.

When he went to measure the data, the doctor looked at him in surprise, and Bruce had to explain: "I am a race walking enthusiast and have participated in some competitions before."

The doctor nodded, believing his statement, and the test for the day ended here.

But for Bruce, this is far from over. The abnormality during the day made him realize that his strength has increased a bit terrifyingly, so where is the limit?

After lunch, most people went back to rest because they had exhausted their physical strength in the morning strength test. Bruce came to the strength test site again. He planned to see where his limit was.

Bruce did not take too many risks, but he did another 400 kg, and he pulled it up without any pressure. Then he went up to 500 kg, which was already the world record deadlift limit.

As a result, Bruce just exerted his strength, and that was it? The world record is just this?

Worried that the barbell plate was wrong, Bruce took a barbell plate to the scale to weigh it. The weight was very accurate. He did not believe in evil, so he weighed all the barbell plates, and the result was 500 kg.

Moreover, he did not feel tired at all after moving the barbell plates back and forth several times. You know, he pulled 300 kg and 400 kg in the morning, and pulled 400 kg and 500 kg in the afternoon. Even the world record holder could not stand such a toss, but Bruce did not feel tired at all.

Bruce didn't believe in evil. He added 600 kg, but it was just so-so. He added 700 kg, and he felt a little better. He added 800 kg, which was barely enough to warm up. Finally, all the barbell plates were used up, and it was only 900 kg, but it was still effortless to pull it up.

If the deadlift can't measure the strength limit, then the clean and jerk, which belongs to the professional category. Almost no one will practice this in the gym, but Bruce has practiced it out of interest, so he knows the basic standard movements.

With his weight, it is good to be able to lift 150 to 60 kg in the clean and jerk. After all, the world record is only over 200 kg.

Bruce first did a 150 kg bar. He just stretched out one hand to hold it, and then found that he seemed to be able to lift it with one hand.

Bruce hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, grabbed the middle of the barbell with one hand, pulled the barbell up directly, and then slowly turned the barbell upright, like holding a dumbbell, and raised it over his shoulder with one arm.

The staff who just walked to the door were stunned.

Bruce was also stunned.
