Thats the difference between training with weights and functional training!

I fail to see what's so "functional" about jumping around with a 100 lb barbell in your hands. Neither one of them could do a strict, standing military press with 225.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha

"Functional training" my ass. I fail to see what's so "functional" about jumping around with a barbell in your hands. Neither one of them could do a strict, standing military press with 225.

   Functional means that they could apply the ability to something besides lifting weights.

yea like things that can help in real life. ie curling isnt that functional. whereas squattin is. ie lifting with legs.

chins pulling yourself up etc. pressing lifting things overhead etc

Hello Irish, I gotta disagree with you here (and perhaps just a bit of cdn shit disturbing after a rare night out) or maybe I'm everyday lazy, but the chins I do with a dip belt full of change, or the f'ing squats with 4+ plates on my back have yet to play a  role in my 'real life' or perhaps they help me navigate it without me knowing. But hey, I could be wrong, as someone pointed out to me last night, 'what do I [you] know, [you're] I'm almost forty.'  :-[

no problem. well i guess that there are or more function thant tri kickbacks or barbell curlls in real life. do u ever do heavy lifting in your job, garden etc those squats would help. i dunno u are a lot oler and more experienced than me and perhaps it dont help you. tho no doubt it has aided a lot of others

The girl is impressive...not many women could do that.

i'm sure i could do it...they are using more momentum than actually muscle but the endurance aspect is the killer. i would be very wore out afterwards.

Pretty impressive, both there techniques were terrible on the chin-ups, they were kicking and squirming around, just didn't look good.
