Chapter 85: Rehabilitation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Since his return, Feixiang Lin had not been late for training, and he never left early. He went to the training hall regularly, and ate the nutritious food in the canteen instead of eating in a restaurant everyday. He also did not go out at night anymore. He went to bed and woke up on time. Everyone had seen the changes in his behavior. Many believed that Feixiang Lin was really the prodigal son that had returned.
However, when people saw Feixiang Lin doing the slimming exercises to radio music, they would think the opposite. To them, he should have been doing something that had to do with the training rather than the slimming exercises .
No one understood what Feixiang Lin had been doing, but Feixiang Lin himself knew that he was making progress. He was losing weight everyday, and the number on the scale would not lie to him.
What made Feixiang Lin happy was that his strength and explosive force had not degenerated much while he was losing weight. His competitive spirit, on the other hand, had been increasing.
The process had made Feixiang Lin admire Dai Li very much. Although he had no idea how short amount slimming exercises had made him lose weight so quickly, he was still receiving the benefits. He chose not to think too hard about it. He was an athlete, after all, not a scientist. His aim was to return to the field, not figure out the scientific theory behind Dai Li's slimming exercises.
Soon another month passed. Feixiang Lin's weight was back to 160 pounds, and his weight would not change too much if he continued doing his daily training and living a regular life.
He had lost twenty pounds in the last month, and felt very satisfied. If he spent the entire day in the physical training room doing slimming exercises, he could lose about twenty pounds at most. Compared to that, doing the slimming exercises was so much easier than lifting the heavy fitness equipment.
...
The training hall was a bit empty because there was a competition for the National Track and Field Competition, as well as the field training of the National Team on the plateau. The well-known Coach Ding Jihai and Coach Fang Jun had taken their famous athletes to take part in the competition. The people who had stayed were young athletes whose abilities were not that great.
Feixiang Lin had been training regularly, but because he had only been doing the slimming exercises, many people thought he had not done any proper training. It was only natural that he had been excluded from joining the field trip to the plateau. However, Feixiang Lin knew that he had not completely recovered. Even if he had joined the field trip, it would do him no good. Because of this, he preferred to stay in the North Pass Center and regain his strength.
"I think my right leg has recovered. I did not feel any pain when you massaged me yesterday." Feixiang Lin did some moves showing off his agility.
"You have not recovered yet," Dai Li said without any hesitation.
Dai Li came to this conclusion by relying on the Empirical Value of the System. When he would perform the manipulation rehabilitation for Feixiang Lin, the empirical value of the Coaching System would still increase, indicating Feixiang Lin had not completely recovered. If Feixiang Lin had completely recovered, his empirical value would not increase by doing the manipulation rehabilitation.
Dai Li had gotten a lot of empirical value by helping Feixiang Lin recover. After all, Feixiang Lin was a talented S-rank athlete who had been always been the best in the men's 110m hurdles. The manipulation rehabilitation and the effect of the slimming exercises was actually equal to the training, so the empirical value Dai Li got from Feixiang Lin was even higher than what he had gotten for helping Feifei Yu.
Because Feixiang Lin trusted Dai Li very much, he continued to let Dai Li perform the manipulation rehabilitation for him. He did not need to do the slimming exercises anymore, so he began spending most of his time training for the 110m hurdles.
When it came to training for the 110m hurdles, Dai Li had learned of it when he was in college. He had even hurdled on the playground when he was younger. When it came to training techniques and experience, however, Feixiang Lin knew far more than him.
Even though Feixiang Lin was an athlete, a few years ago he had constantly traveled to the United States to train. In the U.S., there were many professional training theories, the most advanced equipment, and the most famous trainer in the world. Feixiang Lin had received the best training in the world there. As for training techniques for the 110m hurdles, Feixiang Lin knew far more than most of the coaches of the National Team. What Dai Li had learned in a second-rate university was nothing compared to what Feixiang Lin knew in this regard.
Sports training was far more than just theories. Dai Li began to learn from Feixiang Lin, and thought that having the opportunity to be involved in Feixiang Lin's training was definitely a unforgettable experience. Not only were the methods of training and training techniques new to him, but the training concepts would benefit Dai Li a lot. They the most advanced in the world, and were at least ten years ahead of what Dai Li had learned from his university textbook.
To reach Feixiang Lin's level in the field of hurdling, techniques had to be close to perfect. If there were any flaws in Feixiang Lin's techniques, he would never be able to break the world record.
Therefore, the routine training that applied to many athletes of the 110m hurdles was of no use to Feixiang Lin. His level was too high and he had too much experience in this area. He also had a very strong understanding of the sport. He had reached the ceiling of the sport; he had already been the best in the world. There were no improvements to be made.
As for his techniques, focusing on the details was the only way he could make improvements. Because of this, the National Team simply filmed his training. They normally filmed an athlete's training process, then rewound the tape so they could clearly see which detail or movement had not been done perfectly. Later in the training, the athlete could focus on these details and work hard to improve them.
After all, the 110m hurdles and the 100m dash were rather different. For the training of the 100m dash, there was no need to film because it had more to do with an athlete's body and training over and over again. This was all much more useful than filming a training session and watching it over again. Because the 110m hurdles were a combination of speed and techniques, as well as body flexibility and sense of rhythm in the movement of an athlete, watching the tape was the best way to find out what an athlete's disadvantages were.
Feixiang Lin did not have a trainer, so Dai Li was the one filming. The camera for the National Team was never a cheap one; it was a professional sports camera that filmed in high definition, one that was worth tens of thousands of yuan. After staying with Feixiang Lin for a while, Dai Li had not learned anything about hurdling. His photography techniques had improved quite a lot, though.
...
In the open training hall, Feixiang Lin was lying on the ground, feeling exhausted and panting heavily.
As time went on, the intensity of training began to increase. He had now completely recovered, and began doing the highest limitation training a human's body could possibly stand.
"Feixiang Lin has been recovering rather quickly. As the world-class athlete he is, it only takes less than a month for him to be able to do training of this intensity. I wonder how long I should wait before he becomes as good as he was before."
Thinking of this, Dai Li detected him.
