Is it possible to attain Guts' body if I wield a heavy sword?

I wonder how much I'd have to train and which two-handed sword I should buy. Please help, /fit anons.

Training with a sword to get big would not work

sure bro go have fun with a whatever you want

It's only an arms workout, isn't it? :(

I forgot just how fucking yolked Guts really was.

wielding a sword only trains your forearms

He looks DYEL there.

Olympic weightlifting and steroids

The nigga’s bodyfat is in the negatives though

>you use only your arm muscles to move an object around
>What is anatomy

Of course you will never look like Guts by only swinging a sword around. Even if it would be possible,this guy has been swinging swords too big for him basically since he could walk. He has a 20-year advantage or so

Check "Gada mace workout" good for overall shoulder health

You'd have to buy a sword that's too big for you and actually use it to slice multiple people in half with of swing.

With *one swing.

I don't think you can reach 1% bodyfat

Interesting mace workout.

Yeah, that's why I insulted him with Boscogn.

>Of course you will never look like Guts by only swinging a sword around

>What is reading comprehension

I just went to check any swords available.

It's only 6 lbs, wtf. How can anyone get swole with such light weight?

Isn't Guts' sword like hundreds of pounds?
But anyways, anime isn't real. Just actually workout.

There's only wooden meme replicas of the Dragonslayer. I highly doubt any is 400 lbs.

Swords aren't heavy bruh
Zweihanders weighed around 2-3kg and heavier ones went up to 5kg at most
You're better off swinging with dumbbells, just make sure you have a home gym to avoid looking like a retard in public

After he used the berserker armor he lost alot of his muscle mass considering it was eating him alive and all.

Is this bait?

Thats a body built by manual labor not bodybuilding

It didn't happen in the anime so it's not cannon.

Yeah op chose the picture where they literally say that guts lost a lost of muscle mass

6 pounds is actually heavy for a sword. on average they'd be closer to 2 pounds.

The anime board called, they want their weebs back

If swords are so light, why do they feel heavier than 12 lbs dumbbells?

>What is leverage

Try picking up a barbell from the middle and swinging it around. Now try picking it up from one end and swinging it around.

I was going to try and explain why but this is much easier

Oh, now it makes sense.

Guts was shown doing all sort of resistance training beyond just practicing his swordsmanship, so your question is really fucking pointless.

Go back to /a/, you disgusting weeb

...

>6 pounds is actually heavy for a sword
Heavy for one handed swords. It's pretty normal for greatswords.

> Is it possible to attain Guts' body if I wield a heavy sword?
I would say yes, but only through very careful load progression and literally decades of training. The possibility of snapping shit up is quite high. Your joints and your tendonds would take a massive beating first and foremost. Your muscles is the thing I would worry about the least.


It's not, if it's big enough. Enough mass in inertia means that your entire body and every single joint will be engaged. The only issues is that you will have to switch your dominant hand if you want to keep symmetry.

You are a retard fuck off. You have no idea what you are talking about.

What about training with a metal (steel or iron) hauberk or chest plate all the time, in addition to the relatively heavy blade?

That looks nice, where can I buy it online?

absolutely pointless, it ass nothing, except weight to your center mass which wont train shit, except if you went jogging with it, but then I question how good that would be for your joints.

>I'd have to train and which two-handed sword I should buy.
Don't get a sword, get a piece of steel bar thats longer than you and fat enough depending on your strength level.

Look up a dude named michealCthulhu on youtube, he makes ar plate replicas of fictional giant swords

This guy also had a couple laying around (Forged in Fire, 4th ep)

/a/ is not a containment board

>20 year advantage
Guts is only like 23 at the most.

It's possible to get into decent shape by practicing with a sword, a LOT (and if you are doing the correct composite movements with it). It works your entire body but is essentially a high rep low intensity exercise.

You will eventually plateau but you will look better than 90% of the population.

>but is essentially a high rep low intensity exercise.
Only if you use low weight.

That's what I'm saying, all real swords are low weight.

No pain no gains

Yeah which is why getting a real sword is a stupid idea for muscle training purposes. A long, thick steel pipe would do you better if you are advanced. If you are a sissy just starting out a thick long wooden stick would do well to prep your body so you don't instantly snap your shit up.

Contains the worst of it. /d/ is more wholesome

how dumb are you

Better stick with the dumbbells and barbells from the sounds of it.

>Better stick with the dumbbells and barbells from the sounds of it.
That depends on many factors. Both can work, though I would say swinging metal rods around is a far superior compound movement that works entire upper body, core, back, legs, while dumbbells are far safer in terms of keeping idiots away from snap city but are only limited to upper body.
If the guy really wants to he can do that kind of training, assuming he does it with care and doesn't go full retard off the bat.

Don't ruin his fantasy user. Japan has convinced him that only Zweihanders and ancient folded toothpicks count

Aren't you the retard. Read the rest of the posts.

Keep in mind that he swings around like 800lbs of iron

I want to cum inside that little loli witch accompanied Guts.

Berserk is a poorly written maho shojo for little girls and closet homosexuals. Literally the basedest anime/manga out there.

You want a the sword for wall decoration? Or do you want something to actually train with and get stronger? Cause you keep suggesting options for the former.

youtube.com/watch?v=Fo1KAG-cBFQ

Ryu makes real shit.

And? What are you going to do, order a perfect replica that you can't swing at all?
Or something light weight that you can actually train with.
Oh wait you could just take a fucking metal pipe, fill the same function and be much more cheaper.

You don't only want to train your muscles to be as strong as possibe, you want to become one with the blade, and of course a blade that will actually serve its function (kill) . If raw strength was all that mattered, olympic weightlifters would never use the full movements in training, as they're meme lifts, and powerlifters would never deadlift, as it is a partial ROM exercise.

Yes you do faggot!

Please lets not pretend that this isn't about fun method to train. Take your nothing personel fantasies somewhere else.

Gut's is basically just carrying 80kg everywhere he goes.

So technically you could.

Not even Guts cared about maximizing raw strength. If he did, he would have progressively loaded the sword. He cared about being good with it and strong enough.

YOU TRIPPLE NIGGER
>If he did, he would have progressively loaded the sword.
He fucking did, not only did he use a bigger sword as time went on, but he also tied fucking wood logs to it to train with.
Holy fucking shit kill yourself.
>He cared about being good with it and strong enough.
You CAN'T fucking be good with a oversized sword if you can't fucking lift, hold, swing it properly you imbecile. Not only that there the fact you need shit ton of stamina to keep swinging it.

I swear you better be baiting.

>another one of those retarded fictional body threads

>He fucking did, not only did he use a bigger sword as time went on, but he also tied fucking wood logs to it to train with.
Sorry, I don't watch children cartoons. IIRC in the manga he just picks up a big sword.
