Dense back, forearms, traps from heavy swinging

Lore Context

Asta swings massive anti-magic swords with no magical reinforcement — pure earned strength. The translation: heavy swing-pattern work with sledgehammers, kettlebells, and back-dominant lifts.

Lore Notes

Born with zero magic in a world where everyone has it.

Compensates by hauling around an anti-magic sword bigger than himself.

His voice is loud enough to wake the dead — and has, on occasion.
