Chapter Eleven Arrangements

Compared to previous bodyweight strength trainings, the two exercises at night were by no means easy.

However, Xiang Kun’s physical stamina and energy had an amazing ability to recover. Whenever he felt tired, he only needed to rest for two minutes before he could go again.

But once the sun rose, he could distinctly feel this ability to recover declining at a rapid pace. After he felt fatigue, he had to wait at least seven to eight minutes to recover.

He was certain that this was not a result of mental and physical exhaustion but was directly related to dawn.

Xiang Kun opened a document and wrote down a sentence:

The transformation of energy within the body might be related to certain factors at night. It could be temperature, moonlight, tidal force, or changes in atmospheric pressure, etc.

Afterwards, Xiang Kun added the temperature of different time periods and the time of sunrise to his daily record document.

At nine o’clock, Xiang Kun left his house to go to the gym.

It was a workday morning, so not many people were in the gym, even the trainers weren’t on duty yet.

Xiang Kun began his training alone. Generally speaking, most muscle building and strength training routines work one to two major muscle groups per day, such as chest and triceps one day, back and shoulders the next, then glutes, quads, biceps and forearms afterwards. A four to five-day routine would be repeated as daily energy was limited and muscles needed time for supercompensation.

But Xiang Kun was different. His recovery ability was far beyond that of an average person. Even if weaker during the day compared to the night, he was still able to regain his state from a short rest after high-load, heavy-weight training and continue training.

So, Xiang Kun first did a series of almost maximum weight strength exercises for all muscle groups, then followed by targeted single arm exercises, such as bicep curls for his left arm.

Close to noon, Coach Shen who had made a bet with Xiang Kun yesterday came to the gym. Seeing Xiang Kun, he immediately ran over to greet him.

Clearly, his performance yesterday had left Coach Shen both thoroughly convinced and highly admiring.

However, Coach Shen didn’t stay by his side chatting very long. Yesterday had made it clear that Xiang Kun enjoyed working out alone and didn’t like being disturbed by others.

…

If Xiang Kun wasn’t worried about attracting attention by excessively staying in the gym, he might not even leave at noon and stay until the gym closed at night.

At noon, he contacted his tenant, since the half-year lease was due to end this month. He told the tenant that he’d decided to take back his house for personal use and wouldn’t renew the lease. But, since today was the 19th, he informed his tenant that it would be fine if they found another place and moved out before the 15th of next month. He wouldn’t charge them rent for that period.

The tenant didn’t have any objection as houses nearby were not hard to find. They’d already been considering a larger place anyway.

Even though this meant Xiang Kun’s housing expenses were more than double each month, these past few days he’s come to realise that living in a cramped, rented room where he could easily encounter other people was not suitable under his current conditions.
