Chapter 260: Training like hell (1/2)
The second phase of training was weight and conditioning training. The personal trainers assessed each individual and their playing styles and chosen classes and made them work on the corresponding body part.
If one was a thief and hence a agility based player , then they would be given lower body and flexibility conditioning excercises for agility and explosive power.
The guild members would be given specific excercises based on their body type. If someone's hamstring was tight , then they would be pushed to stretch the hamstring under the supervision of the physiotherepists and the trainer. Then given excercises like lunges and squats to do .
The weak muscles would be given strength first to give overall balance to the untrained body. Just like gym , this training will leave the body in severe pain and cramp for the first few days , soo much soo that even walking would be difficult.
One would generally do it slowly , and take their time to build strength , but that approach would take a lot of time , about 3-6 months , to complete it in one month , one needed to go hard , and bear with the strain on the body.
Rudra did plan to supplement it with excellent nutritional fluids and food and give a complementary spa and massage service at night to all tired players to recuperate , but he would not announce it right now.
Rudra would do everything that was needed to be done from his side , but he would ask 100% from the members side too.
The strength training was not as hard as running for the members. As on the first day with high spirits they did tackle the excercises they were given.
Each member had a personal trainer , hence there would be no mistakes done in technique execution and counting of sets. A member has to complete the sets as the trainer would be counting , they could not count skip even if they wanted to .
The physical training was followed by professional training. The basics of every weapon were taught by professionals and the guild members were made to practice these basics.
The Archer classes in the game who would shoot a rabbit from 200 meters away , could not even hit the whole circular practice target from 20 meters away.
Everything was wrong , from the posture , to the aiming to the power behind the string.
While the swordsmen without their flashy skills lacked substance in training. Their sharp swords could not even cut through a bamboo plant clean as the technique was soo poor.
The members were taught from the very basics of how to hold a sword to how to swing it. The trainers trained the members in the very basics about how to draw a sword out correctly. However due to time constraints they had to keep it simple till the members got a basic feel for it atleast .
The last training was the martial arts training , and the development of internal energy. The Chinese in the 15 th century developed a very terrifying technique to draw out the innate force of human body to its maximum. That technique used a force called internal force to more than quadruple the power behind one's attacks.
It was rumored that the most powerful and profound internal force masters could land a hit as powerful as 20 times the normal force.
The concept behind internal force was that , during fight or flight situations , the human body showed extreme power far beyond what they could usually.
If it was purely adrenaline , then it was not possible , but the reason must be a mixture of various enzymes and the actual untapped potential of the muscles.
The internal force was a way to activate those enzymes without a fight or flight response , to strengthen the muscles and draw that hidden power.
It was a very profound technique that daoist spent their lives trying to achieve. It was believed that there were 5 levels in this journey of internal masters.
