Character Discussion Does Zoro need to stop skipping leg day?

[SakazOuki]

My shoulders feel smooth these days. External rotations as warmups, dead hangs & pullups solved the rotator cuff issues.

I started out with db raises for side delts, but then switched to cables after falling in love with the isolated tension you get instead just shrugging dbs around.
I use the v-bar handle to lock my arm in place & raise using my elbow to avoid the traps hijacking.

Progress weight wise is really slow, but whenever i test myself out with db lateral raises, i can lift heavier than i used to before.

Cable raises are okay, you'll get some strength gains at first, definitely a good pump
Progression is quick at first but eventually stagnates as you said, won't do you good in the long term
Dumbbell laterals are easier to progress with, easier to drop set and superset, and easier to cheat a couple reps at the end
More importantly you hoist more weights, that's the primary factor to growing muscle, fuck the tension if it interferes with hoisting more weight
Ofcourse I'm not saying you should go ham on db lateral and cheat your way through the full set, but you can always squeeze a couple more reps at the end of your last set, or if you try a new heavier weight. Just lock your abdominal to stabilize your back and fly with that sucker
Since you have a single day dedicated to shoulders you can still add a cable raise as the last side delts exercise, there it fits perfectly since your delts are already roasted

Yes. He can't be a top swordsman otherwise. He lacks the explosive jump. He has explosive dash on short distances,but lacks the jumping ability

Spoiler: Undecided if he galloped on air or just a jump.

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Zoro needs some workout advices from Sanji to be able to walk in the air.

First thing for good leg workout is always leg press.

You know your SH*T how long have you been working out ?

I'm actually going to be doing Shoulders and Arms today.

You know, zoro should be able to jump up, go upside down, and start spinning his arms so fast he flies while he uses his sword in his mouth to attack

Seems like Zoro just has absolutely garbage movement speed. No other character in the manga has to be thrown at opponents like this. Lol

It’s my thread bruh

 

[Veku]

And people really thought PTS Zoro would have stood a chance against Doffy

Vergo is not thread related.

Maybe Doffy enjoys a good fight.

 

[Veku]

Maybe Doffy enjoys a good fight.

He's easily more sadistic than King, but less merciful, so maybe?

How doffy gonna fly when zoro cuts the strings

 

[Bullet]

Zolo out of timeskip does about as well as Law does

How doffy gonna fly when zoro cuts the strings

How is he gonna cut shit when he gets parasited?

 

[soheilhazrat]

Whats the point of this? Base luffy or even g2/3 luffy has shitty mobility and agility but he has g5 and g4

Tf is Parasite gonna do zoro will block it

 

[Kizaruber Eats]

Imagine if Zoro could use the gorilla technique with his legs and make himself jump higher like a kangaroo or frog? Lmao.

It's really frustrating that mobility is still a huge issue for Zoro, you would think spending 2 years with a guy with bird motifs and thus Hawk in his name would make him learn to be more agile, more aerial lmao.

Oda just really insists on keeping the status quo and not letting the strawhats grow as someone just said here ofc. Imagine Shanks, Roger, Rayleigh, Oden, Scopper, Fujitora, Vista etc. all needing a Sanji or someone to throw them top? It's ridiculous.
Even if Oda has to make them "fly" in the typical Shonen or martial arts way, it's still better than them being so gravitationally challenged or whatever lmao.

With the King and Queen fights, Oda could have given us an amazing 2v2 as he alluded too at first and upon fighting King and realising he can't keep relying on Sanji and others for mobility gains, (the one type of gains he can't seem to get), he finally puts aside his pride again and asks Sanji for advice with his Geppo/Sky Walk and Sanji can learn better emotional restraint/discipline or even just durability/endurance/resilience from Zoro or something too? Idk.

Zoro’s leg drive is absolutely pathetic. First he needed Orlumbus to propel him towards Pica, then he needed Jinbe to launch him towards Nusjuro, and now he needs Sanji to boost him towards some random fodder dinosaur

This was for the sake of a combo

we have seen Zoro jump a much greater distance in the king fight… he jumped like a almost a km to catch king in mid air
