character introduction
In the Oakland City Library, librarian Thomas? James. Horner is holding a lot of books that have just been returned, ready to put them back. If you don't know him, it's hard to think that this thin and elegant man is the second best in the world just by his appearance. People in the Hercules circle like to put Thomas? James. What's Horner's name T.j. Horner? . Horner is currently the world record holder of 65,438+048 pounds (67.5 kilograms) strength weightlifting, professional squat and professional leg lifting. He can squat 805 lbs (365 kg) barbell with a weight of 65,438+048 lbs, with a relative strength index of 5.504, second only to the legendary Andersek? Steiner Zeke. /kloc-what is the 0/48 pound class? World of Warcraft? , and Nick? Hatch, Jaroslaw? Olech, Ravel? Kazakov, Tony? Conyers and a group of Hercules, but Horner left them behind.
Now Horner is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is carefully consulting an encyclopedia Britannica. To tell the truth, among the Hercules I have visited, no more than one tenth are nearsighted, let alone read the Encyclopedia Britannica. This is indeed a blockbuster Hercules on the field, but now he is more like a professor. Horner solemnly told me that he was of English aristocratic descent, so I should call him that? Baron Horner. Sitting in a chair with European classical style in the library, Horner began to introduce his family history. His ancestors participated in the Napoleonic Wars and were the deputy of General Wellington. Strength training, like gentlemanly manners, is a tradition of Horner family men. Now Horner's garage also has a set of squat racks and power tables handed down from generation to generation. Horner's grandfather brought them here from England. Horner said with a smile, who said that gentlemen can only ride horses and fencing? Hercules is not a porter's patent! ?
Then Horner began to talk about the strength training tradition of European aristocrats, which I had never heard before. It seems that the work in the library has provided him with many conveniences in studying the history of Hercules. Horner pointed out that since the Roman Empire, European aristocrats have always been proud of their own strength. They often use the strength platform for squat and leg lift training. At that time, Hercules was an idol worshipped by mainstream culture, just like Bill? Like gates. In this way, I have been listening to Horner's quotation and introducing the history of Hercules. In the meantime, he went to deal with some things about borrowing and returning books from time to time. During this time, I can only see the difference between him and other staff when I easily shuttle back and forth with a big stack of books. Obviously, in this environment, Horner deliberately did not show his strength. Another staff member told me that the only time he saw Horner show his strength at work was when he moved in the library. Several movers were worried about a huge bookshelf that was so heavy that they almost used a small crane. Horner appeared at this time and solved the problem easily. Many people know from there that their colleague who is a British gentleman turned out to be the second most powerful person in the world.
Finally, when Horner got off work, we drove to Horner's home in the suburb of Auckland. Many people in the Hercules circle think that Horner is the last Hercules who won't make money by fame. Others are fascinated by training videos, selling training equipment and even making movies, but Horner still works quietly in the library every day and occasionally helps his wife look after his shop. However, in his view, it is much better to be able to train leisurely and read the Encyclopedia Britannica every day than to make money in a hurry.
When I came to Horner's garage, that is, his private training room, the first thing I saw was a huge and shabby power platform with many heavy objects such as iron drums and iron blocks on it. Then there are squat racks and shoulder rests, and some barbell pieces and all kinds of strange weights are piled up on the floor at sixes and sevens. I mentioned Brent to him maliciously? Max Searle's super-luxury training room, Horner doesn't care. He told me that the only truly valuable training programs for Hercules are barbell squat, table squat, table leg lift squat and shoulder rest squat, which can be completed in his training room. It is a waste of money to add other equipment.
? Don't you need to practice bench press? I can't help asking ? Besides going to a public weightlifting club once a week to practice bench press? Horner replied. He told me with a smile that most strength lovers greatly overestimated the value of bench press. In fact, the function of bench press is far less than squat, leg lift and hard pull. ? Think about it, most strength events have squat and pull movements, but which one is bench press? On that ancient stage, there is a sentence engraved. God gave you strength? . Generations of Horner have used this instrument. From the beginning of learning to walk, Horner began to watch his father and grandfather do table squats and table leg lifts at home at that time. After buying the present house, Horner's father gave him this power platform and another ancestral squat rack. ? This instrument has turned all the men in our family into Hercules? Horner said, knock on the power platform.
Next, we talked about Horner's main rival in the world of Hercules. ? Conyers is a passionate and talented young man. I think he can rule in 165 for at least two years. Hatch is still young, but after I retire, he should be the best player in the 148 pound class. Kazakov is also excellent, but I think he'd better leave this level if he wants to be king? Horner commented on his opponent with his unique humor. At this time, Bill? Williams, Paul? Caitlin and Douglas? Philip's here. They are Horner's training partners.
It's training time. Horner immediately changed from a gentle gentleman in the19th century to a strong man. Their training program today is squat. We all gathered around the squat rack and adjusted the weight of the barbell to 705 pounds. When one person practices, one person is behind him and the other two are at both ends of the barbell. Horner's training partner is not idle. They have been gaining weight to 800 Jin, which everyone can do. Of course, they are all much heavier than Horner. Horner completed a set of 802-pound barbell squats and looked flushed. ? I always practice with people who are much heavier than me, because people about my weight can't move the weights I use? Horner gasped.
They have been practicing 30 sets of barbell squats and finally gained 927 kg. Horner finished his practice after the 24th group. He did four extreme weight groups at a time and succeeded twice. In these four groups, Horner should be calm and cross his chest before each attempt. The last six groups are relatively easy. Paul who weighs more than 230 pounds? Kettering seemed to have potential to tap, but he ended his practice happily. ? I don't expect to be a world champion. A state champion is enough for me? Kaitlin said with a smile.
The second event is shoulder rest squat. This time they started at 800 pounds. Squats with shoulder pads can reduce the pressure on the waist, so you can use more weight. Because there is no need for protection, whenever one person practices, others begin to pile heavy objects on the floor of the power platform. Horner squatted to 904 pounds, and Kettering increased his weight to 1000 pounds. 1000 kg group, record the training log? Shoulder rest squats 19? . At this time, the night has come. Horner looked out of the window and shouted. Come on, gentlemen! I'm going to eat steak soon. ? However, before eating steak at the table, there is the most important level: squat on the bench. At this point, about 800 kilograms of heavy objects have been piled up on the power platform, and the training has begun. Bench leg lifts and bench squats are the most powerful events, and the advantages that Horner's training partners have just maintained have disappeared here. With an explosive roar, the weight increased to about 1 ton. Due to the limitation of equipment, the weight of table events can only be accurately determined during competition, but it cannot be determined during training. Horner's training partners have been defeated at this time, and only Horner himself is still insisting. Like a seed emerging from the ground, he finally lifted the weight of 1 ton.
17 The bench squat is over, and it's steak time. Four men who were already tired and crooked barely took a shower and sat down at the table. In the first half of dinner, everyone was still immersed in the excitement after training. However, Horner has gradually changed from a strongman to a gentleman in the19th century. ? Bill, maybe you should read the chapter in the Encyclopedia Britannica? Horner cleared his throat and began his routine sermon. Horner, a Hercules of noble descent, always looks so different.
