No, I do have those degrees and work for a major telecom... today i sat on my ass for 7 1/2 hours of my 8 hour shift and made triple pay while you will be burning cardboard and chunks of tires in a metal barrel to stay warm after they kick you out of the library. In 6 mins I am off the clock and have a squat rack to go abuse.

What the Hell is functional strength??

Functional strength is another excuse smaller guys pull outta their ass to once again help compensate for their bruised egos. Much like telling bigger guys that all their size is fat...same premise.

Being 1000 pounds must have its advantages.

So back on topic, we had two wrestling coaches in high school. One was 240, 10% bf, benched 455. The other was 195, 15% bf, benched maybe 185. The coach that weighed 195 felt much stronger than the one that weighed 240.

The best example that I can remember about functional strength is Mariusz Pudzianowski.

i'd like to see who dies of heart attacks at younger ages - people who smile and drive a lawn mower all day, or those highly paid execs making a killing doing stressful deals.

I can tell you who gets arrested more and the longer criminal record

carpentry for 8 hours a day = functional strength

shoveling truckloads of cowshit for 8 hours a day = functional strength (and the lack of a high school diploma)

MisterMagoo · « **Reply #69 on:** January 02, 2009, 05:16:16 PM »

"functional strength" is a complete misnomer because the "function" isn't specified. the training a wrestler does won't help him climb a cliff face, and the training a gymnast does won't help him on the football field.

your training is as "functional" as it applies to the activities of your life. if you sit at a computer during the day to work and hit up powerlifting meets on the weekend, weightroom strength is VERY functional. if you wrestle for college, that training is functional.

if you really don't do ANYTHING physically intensive in your day to day life and exercise is a recreation for you, ALL exercise is functional because it leaves you stronger and more fit than not doing it.

you dig?

No not really little boy. I was way stronger at 300. When you hit 200 pounds then you can start popping off. Till then you are an outsider trying to fit in. Must suck.

If you're a bench and curl guy you won't get to much of an athletic transfer to any athletic endeavor. If you sit in a machine and isolate body parts that also won't give you the so called athletic transfer. Using the Olympic lifts and whole body core exercises like squats, deadlifts and others will give you power that's transferable to athletics. The simpleton response of just getting stronger is functional isn't true. Getting stronger sitting in a lateral delt machine isn't going to help you do anything on the athletic field. The same applies to doing four different bicep exercises in one training day that is typical in many bodybuilding routines.

Most real sports like football, wrestling, throwing, sprinting or boxing takes explosive power. Of course specificity of training comes to play. All can be improved with a proper weight training routine. That weight training will not look like a typical bodybuilding routine.
