Program Overview

Why This Program Works
Philosophy

Agility & Power, Upper & Core, Cardio & Endurance, Lower & Explosiveness, and a Full Body Advanced day.

Physique Goal

Lean, disciplined, and powerful — real advanced bodyweight strength, not bulk.

Performance Goal

A real muscle-up, a controlled pistol squat, and genuine agility and sprint speed.

How Progression Works

Rep progression on all bodyweight strength work; chin-up/pull-up upgrades to muscle-up in phase two. Agility and conditioning use density progression.

Training Philosophy

How Roronoa Zoro Trains

Zoro's discipline shows up as real advanced bodyweight mastery — muscle-ups, L-sits, pistol squats — not sword-swing repetitions. This program is built around genuine advanced calisthenics strength, paired with real agility and conditioning work.
