Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 21 New Ideas

  Back home, Erhu was released from the cage, and Jian Heng watched TV for a while. Before watching it for five minutes, Jian Heng felt bored. He touched here and there, thinking about what he could do.

For a person who used to want to work twenty-four hours a day, after more than a month of rest, he is not used to being idle, and feels more and more empty in his heart, as if there is always something to do. of.

Sitting back on the sofa, Jian Heng took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid and threw the lid into the trash can, leaned on the sofa and drank a few sips, then began to consider whether to go to his own now The storage room put the big Ben on the neighbors.

However, Jian Heng had to give up this idea when he saw that the sun was still hanging in front of him. He was afraid that there would be too many people going to and from the storage room at this time, which might cause unnecessary trouble, so Jian Heng decided to come back later. go.

   It was impossible to go to the storage room, so Jian Heng decided to go to the gym to make his current high-standard figure a little bit sharper, and reduce his body fat to less than ten. Anyone who works out regularly knows that once this thing becomes a habit, it is like smoking, and it is difficult to quit. Many people still think about getting better after they have achieved their goals through practice.

  Thinking of this, Jian Heng stood up from the sofa and began to pack his gym bag.

   When he was packing his bag, Jian Heng found that his original gym clothes were still in the laundry basket, and the rest of the gym clothes were vest and shorts style. If this figure has been cultivated for a long time, Jian Heng is naturally not afraid of being seen by others, not only is he not afraid, he may have to show off on purpose, but now this figure has come too fast, and it is too unbelievable. For the insurance period, Jian Heng decided to first Hide it for a few days and then show it off in front of people.

  If you want new clothes, you will naturally go to the fitness store. Fortunately, now that Jian Heng has gotten the cheat, he is not as harsh on money as before. Thinking of buying new clothes, he immediately picked up his bag and went straight to the nearest fitness store.

   After looking around in the store, Jian Heng felt worried again.

Why?

  Because the clothes in the fitness store are not only tight but also revealing, which runs counter to Jian Heng's request!

  But Jian Heng soon thought of a good place to buy loose clothes and run around. There are quite a lot of Chinese here in New York, and the Chinese culture also has a little influence. This influence is very important reflected in martial arts. Now many Americans like to learn Chinese Kung Fu like Tai Chi, which naturally gave birth to Chinese kung fu is a hot seller, so it's easy to find places in New York that sell Chinese kung fu uniforms.

  So Jian Heng found a store like this and bought two sets of Chinese-style exercise clothes for himself, and then went straight to the gym.

  On the side of the road, Jian Heng had just found a place to stop the car, and before he got out of the car, he heard someone knocking on his car window.

   Turning his head, Jian Heng couldn't help scolding Fake in his heart, because he saw that Alexander was looking at him with a smile on his face.

   "Hi! Jane"

  Alexander waved his hands and said happily to Jane.

   "Hi! Alexander, are you coming to the gym too?" Jian Heng said a little out of place.

  Alexander said: "No, I just finished practicing, and I am going to go out to replenish a little energy, and I will come back later."

  Hearing what Alexander said, Jian Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, Jian Heng was a little uncomfortable with this situation. People in some Latin countries are very enthusiastic. When they meet, they not only hug, but also kiss each other. Even if they meet for the first time, they hug and kiss. Ordinary people are like this, let alone a stamp collector like Alexander. If this person becomes enthusiastic, Jian Heng's Asian heart is really not willing to learn.

   "Oh" Jian Heng got out of the car and closed the door: "Then I'll go in first!"

   After speaking, Jian Heng smiled politely at the girl next to Alexander, then turned around and crossed the road, and walked towards the gate of the gym.

I took the elevator upstairs, and as soon as I entered the door of the gym, the star-like treatment appeared again. People kept coming up to say hello to Jian Heng. They all came up and had a chat with Jian Heng. Although they didn't talk much, it showed that Jian Heng had transformed from a half-shadow man before to a starlet in the gym.

   After changing his clothes, he left the locker room. Jian Heng came to the strength area, ready to see what equipment was there and there was no one around.

"Hi!"

   Jian Heng turned around and found that the fat man who occupied the squat machine yesterday was standing next to him.

   "Hello!" Jian Heng said politely.

   "What are you going to practice today?" The fat man asked familiarly.

   "I'm not going to practice solo today, I'm going to exercise my chest, shoulders, back, and core!" Jian Heng said.

  Hearing what Jian Heng said, the fat man immediately said again: "Then you should practice your back first, and I just want to ask you for advice."

   The fat man didn't wait for Jian Heng to nod, he immediately walked two steps to the side of the pull-up machine and reached out to pat the one who was practicing.

   "Hey, let me go"

   Jian Heng was about to stop him when he heard the fat man say, "This is my friend, he came with me."

  Hearing what he said, and he didn't look like he was being beaten at all, Jian Heng swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

   "Teach us how to use it, what kind of movement standard" the fat man motioned Jian Heng to sit down.

  Pulldown machines are popular equipment in the gym. Anyway, there are people almost all the time. When there are many people, there is a queue for this thing. And now is the hot time for fitness. Seeing that there is no need to queue up for this thing, Jian Heng stopped being polite, and directly sat on the stool of the pull-down machine and began to explain the essentials of the exercises to a few people.

   Although Jian Heng didn't practice very well before, but the movements are really quite standard. He talked about it several times in a row, corrected several people's movements, and then started to practice by himself.

  Jian Heng started to practice, but the weight of the pull-down machine was almost not enough. While the three of them were dumbfounded, Jian Heng did three sets of pull-ups, and each set reached exhaustion.

   "You guys practice, I'm going to practice rowing!" Jian Heng felt that his back was fully congested, so he decided to do another set of rowing to consolidate the results.

   When Jian Heng got to the side of the Yaling rack, he found that these three guys followed.

   The fat man smiled and said, "Let's follow along!"

  Hearing what the fat man said, Jian Heng smiled, and then began to pick dumbbells, starting directly from 70 pounds, and finally reached the maximum of 110 pounds (about 50 kilograms) before he was selected. After choosing the dumbbells, Jian Heng walked to the side of the dumbbell bench with the dumbbells in his hands, supported the bench surface with one hand, held the dumbbell in the other, stood on the ground with one leg, and knelt on the bench surface with the other leg to pose A standard single-arm dumbbell row.

  Each group did eight and switched to the other hand. Jian Heng only did two groups here, and found himself surrounded by some people.

The fitness of these people today is higher than yesterday, and many of them are the kind of muscular guys. Even the three little girls among them have obvious abdominal muscles. It is obvious that these people belong to fitness talent.

   "It's great, why haven't I seen you before?" One of the white men in his early thirties said while looking at Jian Heng.

   "." Jian Heng didn't know how to answer him. Jian Heng has been here for several months, and this guy said he has never seen him before, so how can he answer the question.

   At this moment, a woman leaned into the man's ear and said something, apparently to explain the matter to the man.

   "I'm sorry, I think all of you Asians look similar, so I can't tell the difference!" The man shrugged and said.

  Men are all here at this time, and they usually don’t meet Jian Heng. Even if he does, he won’t care about a fitness rookie. Naturally, it’s impossible to keep track of Jian Heng.

   Now Jian Heng is even more speechless, but Jian Heng also knows that this guy is not interested in paying attention to his former self when he usually practices.

   "How much is the maximum strength?" The man continued to ask.

   "I haven't tried it!" Jian Heng smiled: "The biggest one here is 110 pounds!"

  The man shook his head: "Would you like to try it inside? The biggest one inside is 170 pounds!"

   "Forget it today, I just practiced my whole body briefly, and I didn't think about pushing heavy weights." Jian Heng was not interested in getting together with this group of people, so he opened his mouth and said evasively.

  The man didn't say much after hearing this, he thought for a while and said to Jian Heng: "The figure is good, do you want to develop as a fitness trainer?"

   "I don't have any interest right now," Jian Heng said.

  Although I said so on my lips, I couldn't help but a flash of inspiration in my heart: That's right! If I get the money and go back to my hometown, I can open a gym!

Immediately, Jian Heng felt that this was a good idea. After selling the car, he would have millions of dollars in his hands, and he didn’t need the gym to make a lot of money. It was acceptable if he could maintain it or even make a slight loss. The main thing was to ensure that he had something to do. So that I don't get sick from time to time.
