Bab 468: Training After Fights (Part 4)

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Time after time, Adam lifted the weights from the bench press, but the barbell had two disks instead of four.

The reason for this change was simple - Adam couldn't handle four disks.

No matter how physically strong he was, he couldn't bench press five tons. Perhaps for a higher level Phantom, it was a doable task, but not for Adam and not in an exercise like this.

His pectoral muscle strength wasn't enough to do it.

Was it a failure?

No, not for Tron who expected such a result.

In fact, he was surprised that Adam was able to lift a barbell with two discs that weighed about three tons the first time.

Tron's goal was quite simple - he wanted to teach Adam to do what he was capable of doing but not yet able to control it freely.

To do this, he needed Adam to no longer rely on his muscles.
