1. **【Fasting Morning Workouts】**: They wake up at 5 AM and train on a completely empty stomach. This triggers Soya's absolute fat retention defense when they eat later.
2. **【The Midday Nap Trap】**: Right after a massive lunch, they go straight to sleep with CPAP machines. This drops Soya's metabolic rate to trap glycogen inside Soya's muscle cells.
3. **【Matawari Split Flex】**: They undergo brutal 180-degree pelvic splits. Soft, flexible hip joints act as Soya's heavy shock absorbers during 200kg collisions.
