Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 290 - 241: The Name of the Cultivator Spreads Overseas
Boom!!!
The swirling dust forced the spectators around to cover their eyes.
Due to the aging of the iron gym, the mats have hardly been cleaned, resulting in accumulated grime and dust that is absurdly thick. Just a slight stomp can stir up dust. Wang Ye's weighted vest weighs a thousand pounds, and when it hits the ground, it raises a cloud of dust, enough to block everyone's view and cause people to cough incessantly.
When the dust settled, the spectators' eyes all revealed an indescribable shock. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Is this... a weighted vest?"
"He was actually wearing a weighted vest, and I didn't even notice!"
"And it's a full body weighted vest, nearly invisible under clothing, no wonder we never noticed."
"His movements were so light and he could deadlift 500 kilograms, how could he be wearing a weighted vest?!"
"How heavy must this large-area weighted vest be?"
"If it's filled with iron inside, I guess it must at least weigh two to three hundred pounds?"
"My God, has he been deadlifting two to three hundred pounds in weight all along?"
The few people engaged in conversation immediately fell silent, not daring to think further.
If Wang Ye can deadlift 500 kilograms while wearing a weighted vest weighing hundreds of pounds, how astonishing must his limits be?
At this moment, the live streaming chat exploded with a barrage of comments, several times more than before.
[Holy crap, he's been wearing a weighted vest this whole time?!]
[To wear a weighted vest while powerlifting, Qi Refining Brother is truly world number one...]
[The real question is, how heavy is this weighted vest?]
[No matter how heavy it is, it's mind-boggling, to deadlift 500 kilograms while wearing this thing!]
[Judging by the sound, this weighted vest must weigh at least a few hundred pounds.]
[Not just that, I estimate over a thousand pounds, look closely, the mat even got dented.]
[Indeed, something that can cause the mat to dent like this must weigh at least seven hundred pounds.]
[But the size of this weighted vest isn't that large; did he use some special metal inside it?]
[Possibly tungsten.]
[Yes, considering the way it fell, it's likely tungsten, or some metal similar in density, certainly not gold.]
··························
··························
Tungsten is one of the heaviest metals in the world, with a density of 19,350kg/m³, even denser than gold.
A small piece of tungsten can be incredibly heavy, just a hand-wide piece is hard to lift.
Moreover, given Wang Ye's tall stature and wide bones, he looks like a wall to ordinary people, naturally needing large-size clothes. Additionally, the vest covers many parts, almost from the neck to the calves, with tungsten plate thickness reaching 1-2 centimeters, akin to wearing dense medieval plate armor, making the weight understandable.
Thus, even though this vest weighs over a thousand pounds, it remains almost invisible, allowing Wang Ye to compete for so long without anyone noticing the weighted vest.
Of course, it's extraordinarily expensive, with a price tag of over ten thousand.
As Wang Ye removed the weighted vest, his body instantly became much lighter.
He jumped in place a few times, realizing he could leap high with little effort. If he accidentally jumped too hard, he might even hit the ceiling.
His running and walking became much more effortless. Having just taken off the weighted vest, he was still not accustomed to the excessive lightness, using the same amount of effort for walking and running, leading to speeds exceeding five times.
"Seems like a side effect of wearing the weighted vest for a long time," Wang Ye shrugged his shoulders a bit, adjusting to the excessively light body.
Brother Tyre beside him involuntarily trembled, not out of cold or fear, but sheer excitement. Having watched Wang Ye deadlift 500 kilograms in sets had already ignited his passion, and now seeing Wang Ye remove the 500-kilogram weighted vest made him even more thrilled.
The 500-kilogram weighted vest alongside the 500-kilogram deadlift could easily be a ten-set routine, implying a ton is likely not even Wang Ye's limit!
Brother Tyre, trained from childhood for powerlifting, possesses immense talent, always admiring strength, especially respecting those stronger than himself. Seeing Wang Ye's strength completely surpass his own, his attitude naturally shifted 180 degrees.
Being a strongman-level powerlifting influencer himself, Brother Tyre always has at hand a custom barbell rod costing ten thousand US Dollars, designed to withstand over a ton of pressure.
Many strongmen have died due to insufficient rigidity and space for weight plates on barbells, causing serious injuries. Such incidents include during heavy squat training, where the barbell bends downward gradually, causing strongmen to fail to return the bar to its original position, ultimately being crushed to death beneath it, with fractured bones everywhere. Another example involves insufficient barbell length, where additional weights are tied with kettlebells, only to fall during training, causing weight imbalance, leading to a fall towards one side, resulting in concussion or cerebral hemorrhage.
