Get up at 5:30 every day
The amount of exercise in a day reaches about 12 tons
"Da", "Ah", "Ah", "Ha"... On the morning of December 13, 2021, in the weight training hall of Hainan Sports Vocational and Technical College, the sound of barbells being lifted and lowered and the training of athletes sounded one after another.
He Yueji was training.
He Yueji, bare-chested and holding a barbell, was not tall, his hair, face, and body were full of sweat, and his eyes were shining. He Yueji is 19 years old this year, and he began to contact weightlifting at the age of 9, and because of his physical fitness and excellent results, he came to the Hainan Provincial Weightlifting Team from Baisha Sports School in 2015. Walking on the road, several young athletes saw He Yueji calling him "big brother". "I'm older than them, and I want to guide them on the path I've traveled." He Yueji said.
Talking about the relationship with weightlifting, He Yueji smiled and said that he loved to run and jump since he was a child, and he could walk with his hands, and the things that other children could not do were very simple for him, running and long jumping were the sports he first contacted. "He Yueji is particularly outstanding in terms of physical fitness in our weightlifting world, especially in terms of explosiveness. Good seedlings are placed in useful places, and gold always shines. Wang Yuanyi, coach of the provincial weightlifting team, commented on his beloved disciple.
He Yueji got up at 5:30 every day to go out to exercise, and when training, each weight was lifted and lowered, and the weight was superimposed one by one, and the amount of exercise in a day reached about 12 tons. "Weightlifting is strength training, to be maintained for a long time, if you don't practice for more than a week, your grades will decline, and I'm used to this feeling." He Yueji said that weightlifting has become a necessity in his life.
Not all efforts will bear fruit
But if you have a dream, you can stick to it
In 2016, at the National Junior Weightlifting Championships, He Yueji won the men's under-14 52 kg snatch championship and the second place in the deadlift and overall results. After achieving good results in the first competition, He Yueji's fighting spirit was completely stimulated, and he set a goal at that time to win an Olympic champion.
In the recently concluded 10th National Games weightlifting men's 61 kg competition, He Yueji did not successfully grab three consecutive tackles. "When I came back and heard someone talking about such an important competition, the three of them were not lifted, and what was the use of the results taken before." He Yueji recalled the scene of the game at that time, his expression was a little low, but he said firmly: "Not all efforts will have results, and their own ability is not yet up to standard, so they will continue to work hard." ”
Talking about the loss of the game due to injury, He Yueji did not care, "It has all passed, this is a very normal thing." He Yueji told reporters that he has been doing recovery training since he returned, making plans and making breakthroughs one by one. Coach Wang Yuanyi said: "As an athlete, some minor injuries are definitely inevitable, and I am afraid that he will be injured and want to achieve good results, this kind of thing will never happen, everything is divided into two." ”
"In a previous training session, the elbow joint was broken, the hand suddenly collapsed, recovered for almost 20 days, and started training again." He Yueji said that the only motivation that made him persist was that he had a dream of an Olympic champion and never doubted this goal.
The "battle" of a 19-year-old
Fight yourself and prove yourself
He Yueji's life is very disciplined, and his life trajectory is a three-point line of training grounds, canteens and dormitories, and occasionally hangs out with friends. Although a lot of effort has been made, sometimes there are still problems that cannot be broken.
A weight added, tried many times, can not lift up, next, still add weight?
He Yueji chose to try again.
"I like to compete with myself." He Yueji smiled embarrassedly after saying this sentence, and added: "Every training will challenge the limits of the day, will think of breaking through, the number of successes is very small, but after the challenge will grow." When I succeed, I feel very good in the mood and feel that I have overcome myself. ”
