When he really started to help Jiang Aiguo lose weight, Li Dai mainly used fat-reducing exercises. Because Li Dai does not want Jiang Aiguo to lose too much muscle, Li Dai thinks that the best result is to only lose fat and retain as much muscle as possible. In this way, Jiang Aiguo can maintain as much of his original strength and strength as possible. explosive force.
Jiang Aiguo was a weightlifter in the 69kg category. Due to his age, Jiang Aiguo was not considered top-notch in the 69kg category. However, if his 69kg strength is placed in the 62kg category, Jiang Aiguo has an absolute advantage in weightlifting. The difference between the two levels is not even the slightest bit. In the 69kg category, the world's top weightlifters can lift more than 350kg in the snatch and clean and jerk combined, while the world's top athletes in the 62kg category can only lift 320kg. The difference between the two is a full 30kg. Kilogram. Athletes in the 69kg category, even if they are average, can easily crush weightlifters in the 62kg category.
If Jiang Aiguo can appear in the 62kg category with the strength and explosive power of the 69kg category, he will definitely get a very good result.
Of course, it is impossible to only lose fat without losing muscle at all. There is a limit to a person's body fat rate. Once the body fat rate reaches a certain level, it is difficult to continue to reduce it.
The normal body fat rate for adults is 15% to 18% for men and 25% to 28% for women. In modern society, only people who exercise regularly and for a long time can have this body fat rate. From a visual perspective, when a man's body fat rate is lower than 20%, his chest muscles will be more obvious. When his body fat rate is lower than 15%, he can see six to eight-pack abs, but they will not be very obvious; When the body fat rate drops to 12%, the muscle mass will be very beautiful, and the division of the abdominal muscles will be obvious; when the body fat rate is below 10%, the muscles will look very dry, and the visual beauty will be lost. .
After all, weightlifting is a sport that combines strength, technique and body coordination. Strength can only ensure that the athlete lifts the barbell above his head, and then the key is to control the body's center of gravity. Therefore, weightlifters do not need to pursue too extreme body fat percentage. Many weightlifters in weight categories look like fat guys on the surface.
As far as Jiang Aiguo is concerned, because he is already older, his body fat content is higher than that of young people, so fat-reducing exercises can have a good effect, but overall, the efficiency of fat-reducing exercises is still far away. Far worse than losing weight.
Weight loss is the accumulation of time. During this accumulation process, more and more people in the weightlifting team noticed that the pair Li Dai and Jiang Aiguo were doing a set of broadcasts during most of their free training time. Gymnastics, everyone feels baffled by this. Everyone knows that with the physical fitness of professional athletes, the effect of broadcasting gymnastics is completely zero.
However, no one interfered with Li Dai and Jiang Aiguo. After all, Jiang Aiguo is an old athlete with more than ten years of experience. In terms of training level, Jiang Aiguo is no worse than ordinary coaches. What's more, everyone knows that the weightlifting team is going to lay off some members, and Jiang Aiguo should be one of them. There is no need to be too harsh on a person who is about to leave, just do whatever you want!
…
"The weight has finally dropped below 66 kilograms!" Jiang Aiguo stepped off the scale, looking relieved.
After being weighed with clothes on, his weight dropped below 66 kilograms, which means that Jiang Aiguo can participate in the 62 kilogram class. Although there is still a difference of 4 kilograms, excluding the clothes and the hunger strike and water before the competition, the pre-competition weigh-in can be reduced to less than 62 kilograms.
Dai Li also breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Fortunately, I can make it in time. There are still half a month left before the Qingcheng Station of the Quanquan Weightlifting Championships. Registration will start this week. Brother Jiang, hurry up and find him." Coach Song, we have to sign up to compete this time."
"I'll go right away." Jiang Aiguo nodded, but his expression still looked a little uneasy. He asked, "I'm still a little unsure. What if Coach Song doesn't agree? You go with me. Is it ok?"
"I think Coach Song will agree. Anyway, there are no 62kg athletes in our team, and this is a local competition in Qingcheng. Our team is playing at home. With such a good opportunity, we will definitely send as many athletes as possible to play. " Dai Li said.
"Your analysis makes sense. I hope Coach Song will think so too." Jiang Aiguo said.
…
Ma Guangyi walked into Song Guangming's office in a hurry.
"Coach, I heard that you have agreed to let Jiang Aiguo participate in the Qingcheng Station of the National Weightlifting Championships?" Ma Guangyi asked.
Song Guangming nodded: "Yes, is there any problem?"
"Coach, Jiang Aiguo is already this age and has no potential to tap. I think this opportunity to compete should be given to young athletes, such as Peng Liang and Cao Dongshan." Ma Guangyi said.
"Peng Liang and Cao Dongshan will also participate." Song Guangming replied.
Ma Guangyi was slightly startled and asked tentatively: "Although this competition is at our home court, our team sent three athletes of the same level to participate. This seems to be a bit of a violation of the rules. What about other provinces?" The practice team might gossip."
"Hahaha, old horse, you misunderstood." Song Guangming waved his hand and continued: "Peng Liang and Cao Dongshan participated in the 69kg competition, while Jiang Aiguo participated in the 62kg competition."
"Jiang Aiguo? 62 kg class?" Ma Guangyi was suddenly confused. Jiang Aiguo has been an athlete in the 69 kg class since the day he entered the provincial team. It has been more than ten years. Now that he is about to retire, how can he become a Got the 62kg class.
Song Guangming, who was opposite, continued: "Lao Jiang is also working hard. He has lost more than ten kilograms these days. Now his weight has dropped below 66 kilograms. It is said that he can participate in the 62 kilograms competition."
"But what about strength? After losing more than ten kilograms, his muscles must have been greatly reduced. In terms of strength, Jiang Aiguo will definitely not be able to adapt to the 62kg competition in a short time." Ma Guangyi said.
"I have considered what you said, but since there are no athletes in the 62kg class in our team, it is better to let Jiang Aiguo give it a try. Moreover, this competition will be held in our Qingcheng city. We will send one more person to participate. It won't cost more travel expenses." Song Guangming said, sighing: "You should also know about Jiang Aiguo's family situation. The cleft lip that his daughter has will require several surgeries in the future, which will cost a lot of money. Money is not easy for him. For a veteran of more than ten years, this National Track and Field Championships should be regarded as his final game!"
"Current competition..." Ma Guangyi repeated this word in his mouth, thinking of the previous news of layoffs. At this time, he had understood that after this competition, Jiang Aiguo should leave the weightlifting team.
