7 o'clock in the morning.
The soft sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a bright trapezoid on the light blue sports flooring.
The entire living room seemed to be coated with a warm hue, easing the originally too cold and monotonous atmosphere.
This place didn't feel like a home; it was more like a professional private combat training room.
Against the wall, a red and black standing punching bag stood quietly.
Next to it were a horizontal bar, gymnastic rings, and a huge black sandbag that almost touched the ground.
At this moment, in the center of the living room, a breathtaking scene was unfolding.
A naked man was undergoing a training regimen that could be considered self-torturous.
A thick custom-made weight belt was strapped around his waist, from which ten dark barbell plates were suspended by heavy metal chains.
Each was marked with "25kg", with a total weight reaching an astonishing 500 pounds.
