Personal resume of fitness athlete Wang Kun

Fitness athlete Wang Kun is a national-level athlete in the field of natural bodybuilding with both top competitive performance and popular science influence in China. He turned professional in 2018 and has won 7 national-level bodybuilding and classical bodybuilding championships. He is also the official promotion ambassador of the Domestic Natural Fitness Alliance and a contracted training instructor for the head fitness chain brand "Life Fitness Space". In the 11 years since he entered the industry, he has taught more than 2,000 ordinary fitness enthusiasts, and the student fitness goal achievement rate exceeds 87%.

The first impression many people have of him is not his competitive state with self-tanning oil and sharp muscle lines on the field. Instead, it is him on the podium of the 2019 National Bodybuilding Open, clutching the trophy and still returning information for the student sports high school entrance examination consultation - that At that time, he had not quit his job as a physical education teacher at a middle school in Yantai. He would practice in the gym until 10:30 every afternoon after class. There was always half a box of ready-to-eat chicken breasts and electrolyte water in the garage. When there was a traffic jam on a rainy day, he would change into his competition clothes in the car and rush to the game.

He was not a child from a sports family who had been gifted since childhood. He had colds and fevers every three days in elementary school. His parents really couldn't enroll him in the school's track and field interest class, so he slowly improved his physical fitness. He was admitted to the sports training major of Shandong Institute of Physical Education in the college entrance examination, and it was only in his sophomore year that he came into contact with systematic strength training for the first time. At that time, the school's old gym only had rusty iron dumbbells, and there were only two bench presses with adjustable angles. He saved up half a year's living expenses and bought an adjustable dumbbell bench by himself. The dormitory aunt checked it three times, and finally put it in the utility corner of the stairwell, where he practiced every day after class. I had no one to teach me so I copied photocopied foreign fitness magazines by myself. I mistranslated the movement instructions and took a detour for half a year. I injured my shoulder while bench pressing and spent more than three months recovering from it. Only then did I slowly figure out the underlying logic of natural fitness.

Regarding his performance, there have always been two completely different voices on the Internet. One group believes that it is impossible to achieve his muscle dimensions and body fat rate through natural fitness, and thinks that his "natural" persona is a marketing product. ； The other group used the negative flight drug test reports that he voluntarily disclosed after every game and screenshots of 12 consecutive years of training logs to prove his innocence. He rarely gets off the stage to argue. He held a three-hour live broadcast last year, showing all the training records, food accounts and even the training highlights taken by his college roommates from college to the present. At the end, he only said, "I have been practicing for 15 years. If I am similar to someone who has been practicing for three to five years, then haven't my more than ten years of training been in vain?" ”Later, the Natural Fitness Alliance issued him the first batch of Natural Athlete Certifications, and the matter slowly subsided. However, some people still use this point to make trouble, and he doesn't care. He should educate students and educate students.

He now spends more energy on the fitness of ordinary enthusiasts than on competitive performance. His short video account rarely posts his gold medals and competition videos. Most of them are practical content with no threshold: shoulder and neck relaxation exercises that office workers can do while sitting at their workstations, back training that students can complete with mineral water bottles in the dormitory, and even very down-to-earth content such as "How to adjust the training plan for the next day after eating hot pot." Many bloggers emphasize "seven points to eat and three points to exercise". Instead, he told the students in the class, "Ordinary people can beat 90% of people by doing those three points of exercise first. Who can stick to boiled chicken breast for half a year?" Before the competition, I couldn't help but secretly eat half a roujiamo. You can just eat it normally and control the total amount and you'll be fine." Last year, he brought in a 32-year-old Internet programmer who weighed 180 kilograms when he first came here. He had moderate fatty liver and could not even do three standard push-ups. He practiced with him three times a week for 40 minutes each time. He did not diet, but just adjusted his diet. After eight months, his weight dropped to 142 kilograms. His fatty liver was completely gone. He can now do 12 standard pull-ups. Last week, he played half a basketball game with him.

Now when he is not competing, he basically stays in his small studio. On weekends, he often goes back to the mountain to give free training to the students of the fitness club. He always carries two boiled eggs in his bag, and he will stuff one into a student who encounters hypoglycemia during training. The most conspicuous place on the wall of the studio is not his seven gold medals, but a banner given to him by a student last year. It says, "If you don't sell, you won't make a fool of yourself. There are real people in the fitness community." He said that this thing is much more expensive than gold medals.
