Since graduates are stronger, their deadlift standard starts from 70 kg and counts as passing 60 points, and reaches the highest level of 150 kg, which is a full score of 100 points.
Pulling 80 kilograms is 65 points, 90 kilograms is 70 points, 100 kilograms is 75 points, and 110 is 80 points. To meet the requirements of the Marine Corps, 120 kilograms is 85 points, 130 kilograms is 90 points, 140 kilograms is 95 points, and 150 The perfect score for kilogram is 100.
For students who are ambitious and want to enter the Marine Corps, the first choice is basically 110 kilograms.
The deadlift is the most important indicator that tests a student's strength and explosive power. It is a difficult dish and can best reflect the strongest strength value of each graduating class student after four years of training.
Since this is a tough dish, most of the first to third grade students watch the game here.
In the last group of test students, only Zhou Zhihan is Asian, and his body looks the thinnest.
Generally speaking, people with thin bodies are often inferior to tall and heavy people in the deadlift test, but they can have advantages in various tests such as running, long jump, climbing, and climbing over obstacles with bare hands.
Therefore, the combination of these ten individual items is relatively fair and just.
There is no absolute fairness and justice in the world. All humans can achieve is relative fairness and justice.
Senior students basically know how many kilograms they can deadlift before taking the test.
In the past four years, I have already known how much I have weighed, unless I perform exceptionally.
In order to avoid spending too much time on deadlifts, almost everyone will deadlift a barbell that is ten kilograms less than their actual strength. This can not only pass quickly, but also save energy. If you come up, choose a barbell that is within your usual strength. If you miss the maximum weight, you will waste a lot of energy for no reason, and you will have to spend time adjusting your breathing and lowering the weight, which is also detrimental to the subsequent test.
Among the last 30 people, the strongest one is tall but not stupid. He is nicknamed by the students as the most agile bear in West Point.
The most agile Big Bear has a record of lifting 190 kilograms. He is 1.9 meters tall and weighs nearly 110 kilograms. The funny thing is that he is right next to Zhou Zhihan.
Zhou Zhihan's figure is considered average among West Point military academy students, but when compared to the big bear standing next to him, he looks like a kid.
The most flexible bear went straight to the 120 kilograms. His ambition is to be selected into the Marine Corps. He is the strongest cadet at West Point. He must lift 10 kilograms more than others to gain face and gain a sense of presence.
Seeing that Da Xiong chose 120 kg, Zhou Zhihan also stood in front of the 120 barbell.
The onlookers standing outside the fifteen-meter white line were immediately stunned.
Seeing Zhou Zhihan standing in front of the 120 kilogram barbell, several students who were in charge of recording results couldn't believe their eyes.
"That's 120 kilograms, man, are you in the wrong place?"
One of the first-year French students kindly reminded Zhou Zhihan that he thought Zhou Zhihan was not good at English and had read the wrong numbers.
Zhou Zhihan nodded to the student to thank him and indicated that this was the weight he wanted.
"o"
The French student's mouth turned into an O shape, and then he looked at the two companions around him who had almost the same expression as him.
An instructor who was patrolling the area also came over. He was worried that the Asian student would hurt himself.
The first to third grade students gathered around the deadlift test immediately turned their attention to Zhou Zhihan.
Everyone looked suspiciously, but no one made any noise or ridicule. Only when the tester lifted or could not lift the selected weight, the bystanders could speak. This is discipline, and it is to prevent the tester from being judged. Heart.
In the end, among the more than 30 students, only Da Xiong and Zhou Zhihan chose the 120 kilogram barbell, while the others all chose 110 kilograms, which is in line with the weight required by the Marine Corps.
Daxiong also had chest tightness. He was originally the king of the deadlift, but he was robbed of the limelight by a rookie from China.
Okay, then I'll crush you little noob to death.
Daxiong took a few deep breaths and pulled up the 120 kilogram barbell.
There was a burst of applause, sparsely.
After the big bear pulled 120 kilograms, he did not move forward to complete the next project. Instead, he stood there and waited to see the little rookie make a fool of himself.
Zhou Zhihan held the barbell with both hands, spread his legs, raised his chin slightly, looked forward, held his breath, and lifted 120 kilograms.
The surrounding air seemed to suddenly become hotter, because all the cold air was sucked away by the students and instructors.
Zhou Zhihan's weight does not appear to exceed 140 kilograms, but he lifted a 120 kilogram barbell. This result is more than 10 kilograms more than the Marine Corps selection standard.
For the deadlift event, let alone 10 kilograms, sometimes 2 kilograms, it is an insurmountable barrier for testers.
On the rostrum, closest to the first deadlift test, Major Jeff Hunter, sitting next to the principal, Major General Arthur King, paid attention to Zhou Zhihan at the first moment.
Before Zhou Zhihan started the test, Major Jeff Hunter had mixed feelings in his heart. If Zhou Zhihan successfully passed the test, it would mean that he had indeed insulted him yesterday, but as an upright military academy administrator, he still hoped that he of cadets leave West Point with excellent grades.
Seeing Zhou Zhihan lift 120 kilograms on the first lift, not only Major Jeff Hunter, but also the principal, Major General Arthur King, stood up. Also standing up were instructors from other military academies who came to observe. and officials.
Today, someone from the Marine Corps also made a special trip to observe.
These Marine Corps officials are just here to observe today. Those graduates who meet the standards of the Marine Corps will automatically enter the Marine Corps selection competition the day after tomorrow.
Of course, whether you are willing to join the Marine Corps depends on the willingness of each student, because entering the Marine Corps means that the chances of meritorious service and promotion in the future will increase exponentially, but it also means that the risks in war will be greater.
People who didn't know Zhou Zhihan asked who this student with an Asian face was.
"This student looks like an Oriental in his face. Which country is he from and what is his name?"
a Marine Corps captain asked West Point officials.
"This student, I think his face is Chinese. His body doesn't look strong, but he dares to stand in front of the 120 kilogram barbell with just one pull. With this confidence, this student can compete with His predecessor Wen Zhaoxing is on par." Major General Arthur King said to the adjutant behind him.
Zhou Zhihan is too conspicuous. His height is barely average among Europeans, but in terms of weight and physique, he is undoubtedly the lightest among the 30 people, but his deadlift weight is the heaviest and Da Xiong Same, and it doesn't look like he put in much effort.
But when Major General Arthur King and other military academy observers heard that Zhou Zhihan was a freshman who was transferred from the Randolph Air Force Academy to the Infantry Sergeant Academy at West Point to practice physical fitness, everyone's face showed that Surprised.
Especially Major General Arthur King, whose signature was on the school’s document expelling Zhou Zhihan. Major Jeff Hunter said that this student was lazy, unwilling to make progress, and had poor physical fitness. He had no physical fitness in the three months at the school. A little progress, meeting the criteria for dismissal, but seeing him pull up a 120-kilogram barbell on the first try, where is the difference in his physical fitness?
Major General Arthur King looked at Major Jeff Hunter.
Major Jeff Hunter quickly reported in a low voice what had happened to Zhou Zhihan in the past two days.
But he made no mention of the controversy surrounding doping in the office.
After listening to Major Jeff Hunter's report, Major General Arthur King became very interested in Zhou Zhihan. He wanted to know why such a student who was about to be expelled from the school due to poor physical fitness suddenly became able to Such a powerful burst of energy. So he took the lead to step off the podium and walked towards Zhou Zhihan. Behind him, there were observation groups from other schools and several captains from the Marine Corps.
