I never watched dragon ball z.
From what I know of it maybe it would’ve inspired seven year old me to train more.
I don’t think I had the channel, and watched something else in the same early weekend morning time slot while at my grandparents.
At my grandparents where in their guest bedroom I’d use my grandpa’s total gym with a fury needing to be stronger as sensei was always having me wrestle kids three to five years older than me, or on one noteworthy saturday three kids at once.

Man that’s a story!
However I have read some science fiction.
A common enough trope is the noting of the differences in gravity between planets, and how this affects humans from world to world.
A human raised in low gs is weak in high gs.
A human raised in high gs can be effectively superhuman in low gs.
Has science created a gravity chamber where one could train?
It’s often depicted as a room around a spinning centrifuge whether it’s built on a planet or part of a space ship.
Again never having watched dragon ball z, calisthenics in a high g room sounds pretty sweet to me.
At 3gs a pushup is equivalent to a roughly a double bodyweight bench at normal gravity.
Imagine walking in at 1g doing fifty pushups, and daily increasing it a tiny percentage, over 300-365 days having yourself doing the same at 3gs?
I doubt you’d notice a 1% increase, in what is effectively bodyweight, from day to day.
Linear progression and microloading! lol
It seems to me that if this was to exist it would be the best, not to mention an extremely cool way, to get extremely strong.
Do a bunch of bw squats and pushups!
