Chapter 222: The First Bottleneck

Chapter 222 The first bottleneck

"Good morning, how was your morning run today?"

Seeing Gawain's figure from a distance, Grant took the initiative to greet him, showing concern for Gawain's training status with a smile on his face.

At this time, Gawain's breathing had adjusted, and he jumped lightly on the spot a few times, "It's good, there is no particularly obvious feeling."

Grant looked up and down and nodded in affirmation, "That's good. During the weight gain period, any fluctuations in status or body signals must be reported in time so that we can adjust the training content."

"Continue to increase the dosage?" Gawain said half-jokingly.

Thompson's screams and screams came immediately, "God, Gawain, are you crazy? With such intensity of strength training, you actually want to continue to increase the amount?"

Gawain spread his hands, "In order to become a strong man like you, I still need to work harder."

Thompson immediately nodded matter-of-factly, "That's true." He boasted and showed off his muscles, which instantly made everyone burst into laughter.

In the summer training camp, everyone’s training direction and content are slightly different.

As far as Gawain is concerned, physical fitness is one aspect, and strength is another aspect.

Based on Martin's observations throughout the spring season, he believes that Gao Wen's current size is sufficient, and it doesn't matter even if he is a little thinner. His movement speed and defensive touch have become Gao Wen's playing style.

However, Martin suggested that Gao Wen gain another kilogram or so. The focus is not on the weight number, but on the muscle content. That is to say, while maintaining the current weight, he can reduce the body fat rate through strength training, thereby increasing explosive power and resistance.

In order to avoid weight loss caused by the decrease in body fat rate, it is necessary to update the diet and gain weight.

Compared with the winter training period, it is slightly different. Weight is secondary, and strength is primary.

In Martin's view, an increase in strength can lead to an increase in explosive power, which in turn will help Gaowen get more support in his forehand attack and serve, enriching Gaowen's game content.

It is precisely because of this that Grant follows up on Gawain's diet, status, weight and other details every day, and then compiles them into a book to help Gawain progress and grow more systematically and safely.

In sharp contrast, Giron and McDonald, who are more accustomed to using force to play, do not have the need to gain weight. In their games, there are not many opportunities to take the initiative to attack, and they can complete the rhythm level by grabbing points and borrowing force.

restrictions, this is a style more suitable for them.

Naturally, both Giron and MacDonald need to work on their footwork, as well as muscle toughness and detail control.

In the morning, Gao Wen still mainly trained with the ball.

First, serve training, then forehand and backhand hitting training, interspersed with footwork training and ball feel training, and then partner hitting training, with special focus on forehand training, backhand training, and power hitting training.

Drop point control training, etc.

Devote yourself wholeheartedly to training and sweat, and the passage of time will be quietly forgotten.

But for Thompson, this is a kind of torture——

Training with the training devil Gawain is painful every second. Now Thompson feels the same as Kerbert and Hanfman. When playing against Gawain, even in daily training, he feels uncomfortable all over:

He exerts his strength with the shot, but Gao Wen's returns are always varied. Even if it is the same "forehand VS forehand", Gao Wen is always able to create an advantage in the strong collision of strength and power. Thompson once easily

Gone are the good old days when Earth used its power to suppress Gawain.

Then, as I kept exerting my strength, I slowly began to lose strength.

Want to cry but no tears!

"...Marcos, you go up, you go up!"

Thompson looked like he had been fished out of the water. He was sweating profusely and his head was full of frustration. He just wanted to go home and find his mother. Looking at Jilong, whose eyes were shining, he quickly applied to exchange partners.

Jilong readily agreed.

Since the National Singles Finals, Giron has particularly enjoyed playing against Gawain, and he cherishes the opportunity of every practice match. It is not to defeat Gawain, but to enjoy every time he and Gawain compete against each other. The two never give in to each other.

Hitting the ball always brings out the best in each other.

In Thompson's words, "Marcos should have a bit of a masochistic tendency, and the two of them are just a natural match. One is an S, and the other is an M." This is an honest joke.

Jean MacDonald looked at Thompson carefully with a ghostly expression on his face.

Looking at Gawain who was sweating profusely on the court, and Giron who was fighting high but winning less and losing more, Grant turned to look at Martin and said half jokingly and half surprised.

"Why do I feel that Gao Wen is a little crazier than during winter training?"

During the winter training, Gao Wen was just a noteworthy freshman. He went all out in training to prove himself. But now as a national champion, Gao Wen still remains true to his original intention and devotes 200% of his concentration to training.

and energy, it's truly amazing.

Martin also smiled.

"It's not an illusion, it's a fact."

"Some players become complacent and even start to relax after winning the championship, but obviously Gao Wen is not in this category. He knows his goal and he also knows how he should work hard to achieve his goal."

Martin nudged Grant with his elbow and said in a low voice.

"If I said that Gao Wen's goal in going to the US Open is not to compete but to win, would you believe it?"

An NCAA player, a player who has never stepped onto the professional court, a player who is not ranked in the world, but wants to win in a major?

I'm afraid it's just fantasy and wishful thinking. Even if you just win one game, it will be difficult to achieve success.

But Grant thought about it seriously and nodded, "I believe it."

Then neither of them spoke, and looked towards the court again:

While moving in small steps continuously, Gao Wen used a flick of his wrist to pull out a forehand with a super wide outside angle. Jilong was already waiting in position, but he was still helpless to watch the tennis ball fall to the ground and fly towards the audience stands, full of excitement.

His face was helpless.

But after Gawain finished hitting the ball, he tilted his head, as if he was not satisfied with his hit.

Not satisfied with this?

Martin:???

Grant:???

So scary!

If Gawain knew what Martin and Grant were thinking, he would definitely wave his hands and deny it. He was not dissatisfied with his batting, but was dissatisfied with the lack of growth potential.

Yes, the system's growth potential has been dormant for a long, long time.

The last time I added points was in the quarterfinals of the United States Championship, and then all the growth potential values ​​returned to zero. After that, the growth potential continued to accumulate, but after it reached 99.99%, it stopped growing.

99.99%.

The growth potential value has been in this state for a while, and then after entering the summer special training, Gao Wen really noticed the motionless value for the first time. So, is this a bottleneck?

Third update.
