Character Discussion Does Zoro need to stop skipping leg day?

[SakazOuki]

Doing behind-the-neck shoulder presses has got to be the cringiest thing Zoro’s ever done

Literally best shoulder exercise, pretty based of him

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

I liked it. I think Oda should move past their rivalry and have them cooperate much more, closer to the finish of the Pirate King race. It'd be a cool way of silently telling us the stakes are larger, too large for their nonsense.

 

[MarineHQ]

Oda refuses to let this man grow as a fighter

Best for destroying your rotator cuffs lol

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

 

[JoNdule]

Shanks, Oden, Roger and WB can all leap so high into the sky for some reasons
Shanks even moves so fast that way

Zoro can't even do that unless he uses that one skill he did against King or he asks someone to propels him

Zoro couldn’t beat Pica unless Orlumbus was there to throw him
Zoro couldn’t beat King unless Franky was there to keep him from falling off the island (twice)
Zoro couldn’t stop Pissjulo from killing the SHs if Jinbe wasn’t there to throw him
Zoro can’t beat a random brontosaurus unless Sanji is there to propel him

@TheAncientCenturion Why was my post deleted?

Doing them while squatting instead of pushing up with his legs.

Zoro deffo the type to hit shoulders, arms & chest while skipping legs

 

[Buusatan94]

Both Luffy and Sanji got their own jump good and sky jump techniques, Zoro should have at least the first.

 

[Juanpiz]

His Captain would struggle too without df

Zoro doesnt skip leg day.
Didnt you see that kick on Loki? Strongest kick in the show so far...
Zori just likes to use people as free taxi service.

If you have shit shoulder mobility and dont know anything about the exercise
If you wanna grow boulder shoulders a behind the neck press is your best friend, the single exercise where the side delts can press heavy loads as a main mover

These guys don't know about working out ...

 

[soheilhazrat]

Zoro not doing sky walk is bullcrap because oda wants it to be unique to Sanji, similar to how he isnt giving sanji/luffy flying slashes

And its not like zoro's "Lack" of mobility is a problem for him either bro be jumping around in serious fights no problem

Ive never tried behind the shoulder presses but if its about side delts, i'd rather hit them with cable lat raises ngl. But yea, this is a cool exercise to try out this weekend.

I think there’s an old vid of Arnold talking about them and being one of the best if not the best for shoulders.

Are you still hanging? That's all the shoulder health you need to try such exercise
Ease into it with the empty bar, dont go all the way down, stop midway through your head
Find the comfort zone for your shoulders, go wider than a normal press
Seriously, my shoulders literally exploded after a couple months of behind the neck pressing, sometimes I superset it with db laterals
Warm up well before you press

After you get comfortable with it and begin adding weights, if you pull the bar from a squat rack be sure to push press the first rep then continue normally

If you are enhanced then its probably not that important of an exercise, some db raises and presses would do the trick (though the shoulder god Levrone used to behind the neck press 4 plates)
But if you're a natural there's no better exercise to grow your side delts and overall boulder look

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.
