Myv and Gregory brought a bench and sat in front of Coach Jacob, eating popcorn and drinking mineral water, and occasionally taking pictures of the sweaty Coach Jacob with their mobile phones.
"Jacob, I told you to take back your words, but you refused to listen."
"Jacob, can you do it? If not, forget it."
"Jacob, this isn't you training Gu, it's Gu training you - you see, Gu Ran even has to wait for you."
"The club pays you to come here, not for you to be trained by the players."
"Jacob, why don't you call Mourinho over and let him open his eyes."
These two people are talking back and forth, and it's really insulting.
Coach Jacob was a real tough guy. He gritted his teeth and completed the four cycles.
After the jump, Coach Jacob felt terrible.
This was his personal best, but it was also the result that Gu Ran had surpassed...
Then I heard Gu Ran laugh and say, "Coach, I know you must want to lower the standards so that I can pass, but there is really no need to do this. Let's move on to the next item as soon as possible, so that we can have one more item to train. What is our next item?"
Coach Jacob's mouth twitched slightly, "The next item is... pull-ups..."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Oh, I know this."
Coach Jacob gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, I haven't finished talking yet! The next item is pull-ups and weighted crunches! Do you know what weighted crunches are? Let me show you - wait a moment."
Coach Jacobs needs a break…
Gu Ran urged, "Coach, there's no need to wait. I've already rested for almost 10 minutes."
Coach Jacobs: …
Coach Jacob took a deep breath, walked to the horizontal bar with all his strength, jumped up and grabbed it, then said to Gu Ran, "Go, find a dumbbell that you can bear, and put it on my feet. Then I will use the strength of my waist and abdomen to lift the dumbbell horizontally through my feet until it is perpendicular to my upper body and maintain it. At the same time, I will do pull-ups, 6 in a set... not 10, a total of 4 sets... no, 6 sets!"
Weighted pull-ups are also a must-do in gym training.
Weighted crunches and pull-ups are an advanced training program.
Even though it’s just a dumbbell crunch, pull-ups alone are difficult to do, not to mention having to maintain the angle of the dumbbells!
In the training class for Real Madrid assistant coaches, this kind of training program is a five-star hell training program! Similarly, this is also the program that Coach Jacob is best at and most proud of.
It was because of this that Coach Jacob won Mourinho's praise.
Coach Jacob was not going to use this training program easily. Even if he wanted to use it, he would wait until he had trained Gu Ran, a grassroots player, for a month or two before using it to shock him.
However, since things have come to this point right from the start... let's just use it quickly to hold on!
Gu Ran, a grassroots, must be made to understand what the real Real Madrid-style hellish training is! What the real gap is! What is the strength that even Mourinho praises!
“Good coach!”
Gu Ran excitedly ran to the barbell area and picked up a dumbbell.
10 kilograms...too light.
Gu Ran put down the 10-kilogram dumbbell and picked up a 15-kilogram dumbbell.
...still light.
Gu Ran put down the 15-kilogram dumbbell and picked up a 20-kilogram dumbbell.
Gu Ran weighed it...this one is about right.
I hope Coach Jacob from Real Madrid's assistant coach training class won't be angry because I only brought a 20kg dumbbell.
When training this kind of project for the first time, it is better to proceed step by step.
You can’t increase the price to 30 or 50 right away, otherwise it will be bad if the product fails to meet the standards.
Besides, I'm just a grassroots player, so it shouldn't be embarrassing to only carry 20 kilograms...
After careful consideration, Gu Ran walked back to the horizontal bar carrying the 20-kilogram dumbbells.
Coach Jacob, who was hanging on the horizontal bar, did not forget to emphasize: "Pay attention, when doing this exercise, the height of the pull-up must be in place, and the angle between the legs and abdomen must be kept at 90 degrees vertical. If it is almost, it will not be qualified. You must fully utilize the strength of your core muscle groups-"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Ran placed the 20-kilogram dumbbells on Coach Jacob's feet.
Coach Jacob's body suddenly fell.
Coach Jacobs almost yelled.
When he was training at Real Madrid, he only did 10kg weighted pull-ups! He had never tried 20kg! This weight was not something a person could roll up in the air!
This guy, did he do it on purpose? He must have done it on purpose! He wanted to embarrass me!!! Coach Jacob was about to curse when he heard Gu Ran ask considerately: "Coach, this weight... is it too light for you who is a product of Real Madrid?"
Ah! I am a product of Real Madrid! Coach Jacob's face turned purple...
Gu Ran said sincerely: "I know from your expression that you are definitely not satisfied with this weight, but this is my first time to receive professional one-on-one training. Coach, please take care of me and proceed step by step. If it's heavier, I'm afraid I really can't do it."
Coach Jacob's back teeth were almost broken: " If you can do this weight, I will call you coach! Fuck... What's the expression on the faces of McFadden and Gregory? Are they laughing at me?"
They were holding their phones to record the video?! I am an assistant coach trained by Real Madrid Club... I am a person that even the madman Mourinho calls crazy! Products produced by Real Madrid... must be top quality! Let's fight!
Coach Jacob prepared himself mentally, then exerted force suddenly, clamping a 20kg barbell with his feet to do a crunch.
After trembling for a long time, Coach Jacob finally kept the 20-kilogram dumbbells vertical to his upper body.
However, his body was shaking so much from having to maintain such a large weight that he had no extra strength to do more pull-ups.
After a stalemate of more than twenty seconds, Coach Jacob... gave up.
Coach Jacob dropped the dumbbells and jumped off the horizontal bar, "...I suddenly feel that this training may be a little too early for you."
Gu Ran was touched and said, "Coach, others say you are very strict, but in my opinion, you are really a very nice and considerate person. You must be afraid that I can't complete the training, so you said that."
Coach Jacob coughed and said, "Ahem... you could say that."
Gu Ran quickly said: "Coach, I think I should be able to do it, otherwise let me try."
"Heh," Coach Jacob sneered, "Want to try it? Okay, it's not bad to let you experience it, so go ahead and give it a try."
Coach Jacob made way and prepared to watch Gu Ran make a fool of himself.
“Thank you, Coach!”
Gu Ran jumped lightly and grabbed the horizontal bar with ease.
Coach Jacob then bent down, picked up the 20-kilogram dumbbells, and hung them on Gu Ran's feet.
"If you can't bear it, just come down and don't hurt yourself—"
Before Coach Jacob finished speaking, he saw Gu Ran take a deep breath, and with a burst of strength in his waist and abdomen, he easily completed the weighted sit-up, holding the 20-kilogram dumbbell steadily at a perpendicular angle to his upper body.
Coach Jacob's mouth suddenly opened wide.
What kind of core strength is this!
This move is so simple, it's like the 20kg dumbbell is fake! Is this guy still human???
Just when Coach Jacob was extremely shocked, he saw Gu Ran maintaining the vertical position of the crunch, stretching his arms upward forcefully, and doing a weighted pull-up easily.
While doing this, Gu Ran asked, "Coach, is this true? Am I doing this right?"
Coach Jacobs: …
Where is the promised gravity?
How come Newton couldn't control the Chinese?
What’s going on?
This guy... is he really a grass root?! What kind of grass is this? What kind of root?
This is iron grass! This is steel root! Mave and Gregory, who were standing opposite the horizontal bar, high-fived excitedly: "Yeah! I knew it!"
"I am Gu's physical therapist. Gu's muscles are due to my contribution!"
"As Gu Ran's exclusive team doctor, I must say that I have contributed a lot to Gu Ran's strong and healthy physique!"
Mave and Gregory recorded the footage of Gu Ran's training and Coach Jacob's astonished expression in the video.
After Gu Ran finished five sit-ups easily, he suddenly frowned, "Ah, no, no! I finally understand why you didn't say anything, Coach! I must have done it wrong! When you did it just now, the movements were very slow - I know that the slower it is, the higher the muscle strength required, but I did it all in one go, and didn't allow the muscles to have a gradual control process, so I made a mistake at the beginning, I have to start over."
Coach Jacobs: …
Gu Ran put down his legs, slowly did crunches again, maintained the position, and then did pull-ups.
After doing a pull-up, Gu Ran put his legs down again and repeated the slow sit-ups and pull-ups.
Gu Ran redid 10 of them in one go.
Including the 5 he did before, this set of his was equivalent to doing 15 in a row.
Coach Jacob was so shocked that he was numb...
I thought Gu Ran was a grassroots person who had not received any professional youth training. I thought Gu Ran was thin and weak and needed to strengthen his strength...
As a result, snap, snap!
After Gu Ran finished one set, he jumped off the horizontal bar and rubbed his abdominal muscles and biceps with a grin. "Shh, it feels so sore! This training is really difficult! I feel that my waist and abdominal core muscles, upper arm muscles, and back muscles are all torn. It seems that I can only use 20 kg dumbbells for training for the time being. If it is heavier, I won’t be able to complete the remaining 3 sets."
Coach Jacob: You feel your abs are torn? I feel like my whole body is torn, okay?!
Mave and Gregory really didn't lie to me! It's true that ugly words can't be said in advance! Who would have known that this grassroots boy would be so strong! Can I still practice with him?
I can't bear this burden even if it costs my life!
Coach Jacob cleared his throat with gritted teeth, "Uh, Gu, you...are really good."
Gu Ran smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the coach's guidance. Now it's your turn, right?"
Coach Jacob was completely panicked! Maverick and Gregory shouted from the side, "Come on, Jacob! Aren't you a student at Real Madrid?"
"Jacob! Don't be a coward!"
Coach Jacob took a deep breath and walked to the horizontal bar.
Then, Coach Jacob breathed a sigh of relief. "Forget it... I'm afraid we won't have enough time. Gu, I'll give you the rest of the time. Take your time. Don't worry. I'll be watching you to see if your movements are standard."
Gu Ran quickly said: "Thank you, coach. You are so thoughtful. You gave me your time."
Gu Ran jumped onto the horizontal bar again and followed the previous method, doing 4 sets with intervals.
Coach Jacob's mentality also quickly changed from shock and disbelief to "discovering a treasure"!
This, this, this is too strong! Such a strong player, not to mention the only one in Southampton Club, even in the entire English League One, is the only one!
Even if it is placed in Real Madrid, it can make Mourinho even more crazy!
Imagine, I, Jacob from Real Madrid, have trained a superstar one-on-one! Hahaha! Ahahahaha! Jacob quickly ran up with a smile on his face, and carefully supported Gu Ran, "Gu, are you tired? Take a break. Hey! Maf! Gregory! What are you two doing sitting there? Why don't you come over and give Gu a massage to relax his muscles?"
"Fuck! Jacob, you change so fast!"
"Jacob, you should be our sparring partner. We are waiting to see you."
"Stop the bullshit! You two should get to work! My Gu has to go back to the team to take a test soon! We can't let his test results be affected! Oh, and the nutritionist! Where's the nutritionist? Why hasn't the nutritionist come yet? Gu has such a high-energy training, the nutritionist must keep up!"
Coach Jacob looked around.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, coach. I think I'm fine. The test is still half an hour away. Why don't we hurry up, skip these basic trainings, and start the Real Madrid-style training early! I can't wait to experience it!"
A muscle on Coach Jacob's face twitched.
"Ahem, Gu, it's like this..."
Coach Jacob thought for a moment and said, "When it comes to training, you have to take it slow. You can't try to do it all at once. There are 30 minutes left. This is the time for massage and relaxation. This will ensure that your muscles are in perfect condition for the next training session."
Gu Ran said gratefully: "Coach, you really take good care of me. But I really want to try the one-on-one training of Real Madrid."
Coach Jacob blushed and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
Gu Ran sighed helplessly, "Okay, it seems that I am too impatient. Then I will listen to the coach and start with this basic."
Coach Jacob nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Mave and Gregory took over and began to examine and massage Gu Ran.
Gregory directly took out the fascia knife...
Gu Ran clenched his teeth, trying hard not to scream.
Gregory used all his strength to suck, but Gu Ran didn't make a sound!
That's right, once you become a professional player, you have to act like a professional player! Gregory was exhausted...
Gregory said in despair: It's over, it's over, I will never hear Gu's ecstatic screams again.
After the massage, exclusive nutritionist Loina came over with two liters of snack drinks made from "avocado, kale, spinach, celery, bovine colostrum, white snake grass, apple enzyme, and fresh oyster juice squeezed by hand."
Gu Ran suddenly felt overwhelmed!
This is something that scares Gu Ran more than Coach Jacob's training and Gregory's fascia knife! Luo Yina smiled and said, "Gu, it's time to have a snack."
Gu Ran swallowed hard, "Loina, I'm not hungry yet..."
At this time, I should call Rick over. Rick must be very hungry now...
Loina said seriously, "You think you're not hungry, but actually your body is hungry. Be good, drink it while it's fresh. If you leave it for a while and it becomes sticky, it will taste even worse."
Coach Jacob said, "Yes, Gu, you have been training too much, so you must have a snack. Drink it quickly. After you finish drinking, you can rest for a while and then go for the test."
Gu Ran said bitterly: "...Okay."
Loina said, "Drink it all. I'll be here to supervise you."
Gu Ran took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gulped down the drink.
This taste... is unique!
After drinking the two liters of snack, Gu Ran felt like he was going to die.
But after drinking it, the fatigue in my whole body was really reduced a lot, and my physical fitness and strength were also restored.
Loina said with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad! I guess I can use more ingredients next time."
Gu Ran: ...
At this time, Rick, who was very quick in his work, walked into the gym with a pale face and several sets of brand new training clothes in his hands.
...It seems that Rick's big belly has become much smaller.
Without waiting for Rick to speak, Gu Ran said, "Thank you for your hard work, Rick."
Rick smiled gratefully, "Thank you Gu, I found you a new training suit. Also, your No. 8 jersey has been finalized. The Umbro factory is working on it as quickly as possible. I estimate that 1,000 pieces will be produced before the open class tomorrow."
Oh shit!
How could foreign factories be so fast?
I guess it was emergency overtime.
I have to say, the club is really nice.
Gu Ran said, "Okay, Rick. You are really fast."
Rick smiled weakly and proudly: "I am still confident in my speed. Gu, I have a request--"
