Chapter 252
Soon after, Li Lei walked into the gym, where Carl had been waiting for a long time.
This is a modern gym with complete equipment, and various equipments are shining with silver metallic luster.
"Hi, Li Lei, I'm glad you arrived on time." Carl greeted enthusiastically and handed Li Lei a towel, "Today we will mainly train your upper body strength, especially the core and shoulder muscles."
Li Lei nodded and followed Carl to the equipment area.
Carl first asked Li Lei to warm up, and then began to explain in detail the first training project - dumbbell press.
"Remember, keep your elbows close to your body, push the dumbbells slowly, stay at the highest point for one second, and then slowly put them down."
"This action mainly exercises your chest muscles and triceps." Carl explained patiently while demonstrating.
Li Lei began to practice according to Carl's instructions.
At first, he was a little uncomfortable, but soon found the correct technique.
Carl observed carefully from the side and gave some correction suggestions from time to time.
Next, Carl led Li Lei through a series of training, including push-ups, pull-ups, seated rowing, etc.
For each movement, Carl would explain in detail the muscle groups and correct techniques to ensure that Li Lei could complete the training safely and effectively.
Although the training was very intense, Li Lei felt extremely excited.
He could clearly feel that his muscles were fully mobilized during the training, and each movement became more powerful and precise.
"Great, Li Lei, your muscle coordination is very good, and you learn new movements quickly." Carl praised during the training break, "Keep going, you will definitely have a significant improvement in strength."
Li Lei was panting, but his face was filled with a satisfied smile: "Thank you, Carl."
"I never thought that strength training could be so effective. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's training."
"This is just the beginning, my friend." Carl patted Li Lei on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Believe me, under my training plan, you will become stronger and more powerful."
In this way, under Carl's guidance, Li Lei completed the first day of strength training.
Sweat soaked his clothes, but his heart was more at ease and satisfied than ever before.
Li Lei's strength talent is unquestionable, which is one of the important reasons why he can stand out in the football world.
But as it is now, due to the lack of professional strength training, he still has a certain gap with other top stars in force skills.
Now, with Carl's professional guidance, this gap is gradually narrowing.
The training plan designed by Carl for Li Lei is not just to simply increase muscle strength, but more importantly to teach him how to exert strength more effectively and skillfully.
By learning the correct way to exert force and improving muscle coordination and explosive power, Li Lei's strength confrontation advantage in the game will become more obvious.
He will be able to better protect the ball, gain the upper hand in physical confrontation, and win more possession of the ball for the team.
In addition to strength, speed is another major advantage of Li Lei.
After the blessing of the system, he is born with amazing speed talent, which makes him like a flash of lightning on the court, able to easily shake off the defensive players and create dangerous offensive opportunities again and again.
On this day, at a training base outside Leicester City, Li Lei was doing one-on-one speed training with his personal trainer Sasha.
It was a sunny morning, the grass was still stained with morning dew, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of grass.
Li Lei and Sasha were wearing training suits and running on the green field, their figures like two agile lightning.
"Speed up, Li Lei! Keep your rhythm and push hard!" Sasha observed Li Lei's running posture and gave instructions loudly.
He held a stopwatch in his hand, accurately recording the time of Li Lei's each sprint.
Li Lei followed the instructions and constantly adjusted his pace and breathing.
His legs stepped on the grass vigorously, and each acceleration burst out with amazing speed.
Sweat flowed down his forehead, but his eyes were still firm and focused, full of desire and pursuit for speed.
In sprint after sprint, Li Lei could feel that his speed was constantly improving.
His muscle memory is forming, and his explosiveness and agility have been significantly improved under Sasha's training.
"Very good, Li Lei! Now let's practice changing direction."
"Remember, keep your center of gravity and change direction with the smallest amplitude." Sasha put down the stopwatch and demonstrated the movement of changing direction.
His movements were clean and neat, and his body control was excellent. He completed a beautiful turn while running at high speed.Li Lei watched intently, and then began to imitate Sasha's movements.
At first, he was a little unstable and his speed slowed down.
But under Sasha's constant guidance, he gradually mastered the trick.
His changes of direction became more and more smooth, and he could easily change direction while running at high speed, just like a flexible cheetah.
"Great, Li Lei! You are making great progress."
"Keep going, and your performance on the court will definitely be improved." Sasha patted Li Lei's shoulder approvingly, with a gratified smile on his face.
Li Lei was panting, but his face was also filled with a confident smile: "Thank you, Sasha."
"I feel that my speed and flexibility have greatly improved, and this is all thanks to your training."
"This is mainly the result of your own efforts." Sasha said modestly, "Remember, speed, like skills, requires constant practice and sharpening."
"Only by perseverance can you truly become a top speed player."
The top speed talent plus the active skills of the system make him invincible on the court, and now through special training with Sasha, Li Lei's speed advantage will be further strengthened.
Sasha will help Li Lei improve his sense of rhythm and explosiveness, teach him how to start speed at the most appropriate time, and how to maintain control of the ball while running at high speed.
At the same time, Sasha will also guide Li Lei on how to better use his speed advantage, cooperate with teammates, and create more scoring opportunities.
