Six o'clock in the morning.
The rain had fallen all night long and finally came to a stop.
The glass was covered with crisscrossing water marks, blurring the awakening city outside into a halo of light.
Inside the room, the light blue walls and sports flooring created a sense of tranquility akin to being on a holiday beach.
However, the temperature on this "beach" was noticeably higher than outside.
As if the heating was turned on in mid-April, or perhaps a furnace had been lit.
"Huff... hiss... huff... hiss..."
Heavy and rhythmic breathing was the only sound in this intense heat.
At this moment, a muscular, bare figure was exercising in an unimaginable way.
His body was entirely parallel to the ground, with his whole weight supported only by his index fingers.
Even more exaggerated, on his broad, mountain-like back, ten heavy cast iron barbell plates were firmly fixed with nylon straps.
Each plate weighed twenty-five kilograms.
