Would Goku Have Been Ready For Namek Without the help Of Senzu Beans?

It's no secret that the Frieza arc was arguably one of the best arcs in the whole Dragonball franchise. I mean i spent hours just replaying awesome battles such as Goku vs Frieza to comical Ginyu scenes like when he got his bodied swapped with a toad. However one particular montage stood out to me the most. Goku's outer space training.

Goku's training regime is second to none!  When it comes down to who pushes themselves the hardest, Goku yields to no one. Goku's tenacity and fierce devotion to his friends and family are one of the few main reasons why he always comes out on top.

Despite all this, there have been times when Goku trained too hard and needed the help  of a magically food. Yes i am talking the Senzu bean!

It's nutritious rejuvenating properties almost instantaneously heals and repairs the consumer from fatigue. Not only that but the bean will keep you full for 10 full days!  Man we should be calling theses things Senzuroids instead of beans!

Unlike other anime characters  with absurd healing abilities, Goku has none of that, so he has to heal and rest like everyone else when there is no healing applications around.  So that brings us back to Goku's  Namek training. We the viewers see that every time Goku is pushed to the limit of his training he goes for a Senzu bean, and shortly after being healed he starts his training once again.

  

Goku like many other Saiyans have a inner ability called "Zenkai" When a Saiyan recovers from injuries that many would deem fatal they would get a power increase in their overall abilities.

Withdrawing the Senzu beans from the picture, would Goku been able to reach the same power level as he did without them?  I personally say  he would be near the same due to the result of the Zenkai boost but still far.

Goku's training heavily relied on his body being in top form so he can get the maximum results. Without the Senzu beans to heal him he would had to be patience and wait for the body to naturally begins it's recovery cycle, which in turn would have to be taken away from his training time. With training time reduced he may not have been able to reach 100x gravity Hence not being able to do many of the things we saw in the show such as Kaioken x20

With or without Senzu beans i think Goku would have been a beast anyways.

What are your thoughts?

Do you think the Senzu beans played a big part of Goku's training?
