Although Youdi Wei had more than 10 years coaching experience, at this moment he was still quite cautious, because he had never trained elderly people before.

Youdi Wei's trainee, Mr. Liu, was the oldest among the three retired cadres, so he closely observed Mr. Liu's status and dared not to make any mistakes.

Meanwhile, Youdi Wei also paid attention to Dai Li and Guang Wu's behaviors, especially Dai Li, who was Youdi Wei's main competition. Since Youdi Wei knew that, although Guang Wu was pretty good, he was still behind Wei, and Dai Li was Youdi Wei's strongest opponent.

Dai Li is taking a break now. Is it because Mr. Zhang can't catch up? Youdi Wei checked the time on his watch, then looked at his trainee, Mr. Liu, and felt that they needed some rest, too.

But several seconds later, Youdi Wei suddenly noticed that Dai Li was giving Mr. Zhang a muscle massage.

Muscle massage? They have only trained one hour. Why are they having a massage now? Shouldn't muscle massage be given after a whole day's training. Why do they start now! Youdi Wei didn't get Dai Li's point.

”Ouch!” A groan came into Youdi Wei's ears. It was Mr. Zhang's painful scream. He couldn't bear the pain during Dai Li's massage on his lumber.

Youdi Wei almost laughed out loud.

He must be putting too much power into the massage that Mr. Zhang can't bear the press. Dai Li's massage sucks. He can't even control his strength. This Dai Li does have outstanding achievements, but he is still too young and lack skills on muscle massaging!

...

On the other side, Ping Wang and Tao Lin also furrowed their eyebrows.

Tao Lin said, ”Dai Li seems to be not very good at muscle massage.”

”But he should be. His materials said clearly that he was proficient in rehabilitative massage. Moreover, he has been on the national team for quite a while, according to my understanding. The national athletic team offers extremely high-intensive training, and every day after training finishes, muscle massage is a requirement. Dai Li has been studying on the national team and should have acquired some true abilities. more or less.”

”Who knows, perhaps the materials are not sufficient.” Tao Lin paused, then said, ”But I'm worried about Mr. Zhang. After all, he is a retired cadre from the Provincial Party Committee. If he gets hurt here with our team after today's training, and the news spread, we will lose face.”

While the two were discussing, Mr. Zhang, who was still on the ground, showed an extremely enjoyable look.

”Comfy, this is so enjoyable! I feel my whole lumber is relaxed.” Mr. Zhang stood up and twisted his waist pretty hard, then realized that his previous soreness caused by Lumbar Disc Protrusion had gone completely.

”Hey, young man, you are good! My Lumbar Disc Protrusion has been with me for more than 20 years. In recent years I have received conservative treatment, but it is not as effective as your several-minute massage. It looks like I don't need to worry about twisting my waist anymore today,” Mr. Zhang said, as he kept shaking his body.

”Shall we move on?” asked Dai Li.

”Sure, let's do it!” Mr. Zhang nodded.

...

At eleven o'clock, morning training finished.

Mr. Chen plodded on the ground. He was having difficulty stepping forward.

Mr. Chen's behavior brought Guang Wu a sense of foreboding.

Is it because the morning training intensity was above Mr. Chen's endurance that he is exhausted? Guang Wu carefully recalled his training and felt that there was nothing wrong.

But the other two cadres, Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang walked as if on wings. Their conditions were way better than Mr. Chen's.

We three have the same training time, and we probably have similar training intensities. But why does only Mr. Chen walk unsteadily? Guang Wu was confused.

Dai Li and Youdi Wei also noticed it.

Youdi Wei thought Guang Wu had trained Mr. Chen improperly, but Dai Li knew clearly, that Mr. Chen's Arthritis must be acting up.

...

Ping Wang drove the three seniors home in his car.

”Mr. Chen, is your leg alright?” Ping Wang asked.

”I'm OK. The only thing is that I haven't practiced like that for a long time. I can't bear it. My Arthritis has been there for years. Once I take a break this afternoon I should be fine.” Mr. Chen paused, then said, ”Wang, I won't come this afternoon.”

Ping Wang nodded, then asked, ”Mr. Zhang, Mr. Liu, are you two alright?”

”Nothing is wrong. With my Scapulohumeral Periarthritis, as long as I don't catch cold or get exhausted, I should be fine,” said Mr. Liu.

”My Lumbar Disc Protrusion is fine!” Mr. Zhang said. ”Hey, you know what? That coach Li does have something. After his massage, I feel my whole waist is relaxed!”

”You really feel comfortable? Old Zhang, I heard you scream during it. It didn't sound comfortable!” Mr. Chen joked on Mr. Zhang.

”You know nothing. I did feel some pain when he was pressing, but after that I really felt comfortable. Let me tell you, in massage, the pain indicates that the massage therapist found the spot. The good joints won't produce pain when being pressed. By the way, I have tried many massage therapists, and none of them compares to Coach Li. I think if he is not a coach, he can earn much money being a massage therapist.” Mr. Zhang smiled.

Ping Wang interrupted, ”Mr. Zhang, I saw Dai Li give you massages on your waist two or three times. Did he know you have Lumbar Disc Protrusion?”

”Yes, he knew,” Mr. Zhang said. ”But I didn't tell him. When he was massaging, he touched my lumber and said that I have a protruded lumber. I thought he must have sensed it, otherwise how can he massage so well!”

”So Coach Li sensed it himself!” Ping Wang nodded silently. Now he knew that was why Dai Li gave Mr. Zhang a massage. The reason was that he hoped to reduce Mr. Zhang's lumber pressure through massaging, so that Mr. Zhang could perform better in the upcoming exercises.

Dai Li is incredible. He has indeed stayed on the national team for a while, Ping Wang said in his heart.

Then he asked, ”Mr. Liu, did Coach Wei know about your Scapulohumeral Periarthritis?”

”I didn't tell him, so how could he know that?” Mr. Liu replied.
