Is Sword swinging just a meme or can it get you super jacked and strong?
It's cardio, and laterally imbalanced unless you go out of your way
Just switch hands. If it's engaging and fun frick it
It’s a meme
I'd put my sword in her sheath if you know what i mean.
Is this ai, or a successful human cloning experiment?
India has a long tradition of using training maces, they're fun to use for upper body
Thanks for letting us know it's bullshit, then.
>most dyel country on the planet
Not a good example...
YOU BLOODY BASTARD YOU DARE INSULT THE GREAT GAMA?!
>outing myself as a phone poster
Disregard poor screenshot I suck wieners.
pajeet history is all lies. They constantly exaggerate because of their inferiority complexes and culture.
Worse than Arnold...
Obviously it's a meme. Yes, if the sword is heavy it will employ muscles and prolonged swinging will strengthen those muscles. As the muscles grow stronger you will need to swing the sword more and more in order to continuously challenge them. All of the muscles which aren't employed to swing the sword will be neglected unless you don't add additional exercises to target them.
Or you could just lift weights like a normal person.
it's fun
it's fun
it's fun
It's a pretty inefficient way to get stronger. You'll make faster progress lifting normally.
So? Plenty of things are fun but otherwise useless.
>So? Plenty of things are fun but otherwise useless.
Why do fun things necessitate being useful outside the context of being fun
They don't, but there's nothing to discuss there. OP is asking whether it's a useful movement for building strength, and the answer is no. He can still do them for fun if he wants. Why is the reading comprehension so poor on this site?
The answer is yes. If the question was "is this the most optimal or time efficient way to build muscle" the answer would be no. Moving heavy objects results in strength development, period.
>All of the muscles which aren't employed to swing the sword will be neglected
which muscles are those?
The masseter and frontalis muscles, for example
>All of the muscles which aren't employed to swing the sword will be neglected
name ONE (1) muscle that is not employed to swing the sword.
arm
its fun and helps my adhd
There are plenty of other exercises that won't cause second-hand embarrassment, turn you into a joke in the neighborhood, and can be indoors.
Buy a kettlebell or something.
Ok
>buy kettlebell
>heat to red heat with blacksmith’s furnace
>forge iron sword
Now my tism can be appeased.
Good enough for Gutsanon, good enough for me.
have you seen gutsanon? dude looks good and strong
Which gutsanon, the one that lifts weights and looks good or the moron that swings a metal pole and looks like a crackhead?
Why are there two of them
Are there any other gutsanons I should know about
One of them is the guy that swings the rod and spams his shitty webms. The other guy is the one lifting and posting the whitepill threads
all i have of him
You couldnt find a place secluded enough for me to feel comfortable doing this sperglord shit. 1 person walks in and sees you spinning around with your bar and its over
yes this is the dyel one who's also a homosexual
why did you censor the trees?
this is a blue board
It's a meme, just watch a fencing tournament
meme. it is the male equivalent of 6/10 girls cosplaying the loose version of the popular indy cartoon of the month
a sword swing uses the whole body and if it is heavy enough i don't see how it would be a bad thing
More of a conditioning thing than a strength builder. Obviously not bad for you but maybe just push a sled or something.
Make 2 Indian clubs from a 2 x 6 good for shoulder ligamants and grip
Very popular 100 years ago
Then Buy a steel mace on Amazon or make the indian version a gada with concrete, a large stick, some screws, and a simple mold.
Mace 360s are great
None of that replaces weight lifting though
Get a steel mace and swing it around like an autistic barbarian for a few months and see what changes
That looks fun. How much does the sword weigh?
10kg
kek i've never thought of wielding one like a sword but for martial arts we had a steel rod used for staff drills and going between it and a tapered lightwood was the most fun shit imaginable
Some people, a lot of people on this board, have a lot of fun or have some other form of enjoyment from doing lifts with a barbell like benching or doing deads, other people here like kettlebell training or using dumbells and a few are even bodweightgays
The measure of how useful an exercise is to getting you
>super jacked and strong
lies, perhaps not purely, but primarily in how much you are going to do it over the next 3,5,10 years of your life.
If you love Cloud and Guts and Ichigo so much that you will swing a progressively heavier sword on a near daily basis for several years and you don't particularly enjoy barbell training then yes obviously the one that is going to get you to workout more is going to be better despite scrutiny on which exercise is more optimal for building muscle.
Trying to argue that sword swinging won't develop your muscles is like saying swinging a sledgehammer or chopping wood won't result in muscular development which is demonstrably false; over long periods of time spending 10,000 total hours swinging around a piece of wood is going to be way better than spending 3,000 pumping iron.
If your goal is to get jacked as quickly as possible, no it is probably not the best method of training. If your goal is to be able to train consistently and enjoy yourself, it might be. If your goal is to swing big sword like it's a pencil, it absolutely is.
Heavy clubs are legit.
Professional sports that involve throwing a ball or shooting a bow tend to use them to rehabilitate shoulders.
Clubs were used by pretty much every sword swinging military historically... and used by the US military up until we were too broke to issue them to all recruits during WW1
It doesn't look like anime sword swinging though. That's a meme and with a semi functional knowledge of what chopping wood or digging with a shovel feels like you can pretty much tell the sperglords aren't doing movements that make sense to generate force or even to hold a medium weight object.

Your right arm and right side shoulder stability will blow up. If you practice two-handed your left lateral deltoid will blow up but nothing else on the left side.
So switch hands for symmetry.
If that’s the guy from TikTok he is a massive moron and will destroy his shoulders. There are literal manuals on how to fence with a great sword from the 1500s-1600s and they unilaterally have you swing through with all your cute you keep the force from traveling back into your shoulder when you stop cuts. It’s analogous to a montante. Swords of that length were designed for multiple opponents not cutting into the fricking ground
>buff guy doing something so that's how he got buff
Frick that I'm going to water my plants to failure and get fricking yolked dude!!!
