They claim they were so injured in their 20s they couldn't do traditional lifts anymore. That is pathetic on such a statistically improbable level. I can't even imagine how poorly you'd have to train for that to be the case.

[@Michael-xl5hc]

I think what has been lost is the idea that body building is specifically dysfunctional, otherwise it wouldn’t work. Bodybuilding is about finding specific exercises that put the body at such a disadvantage that it places undue stress on specific muscles. If the body is meant to function as a unit this is obviously dysfunctional. BUT it is this exact disfunction that tricks the body into rapidly growing tissue that it wouldn’t otherwise. Body building is just that, building up a structure. However, it stands to reason that you would then want to educate and reintegrate that structure toward a specific goal/function. That’s where “functional” training comes in. I think body building still has a place in everyone’s fitness and is necessary for getting to body to build tissue in specific places.

[@destinsather9757]

I’ve been squatting heavy since I was 16 … 35 now, never had any lower extremities injuries at all, great posture, and in better shape than 95% of other people my age … these guys are quacks

[@jzen1455]

Seems like they're really sour about premature injuries in their 20s doing compound movements and now promote this useless crap whille poo pooing standard compound movements to make themselves feel better.

[@ThreadedKinetic]

Not once did I hear y'all mention Connective tissue. Have me on and let's talk about it!

[@FrenchToastThat]

Both Guys Are Physically Unimpressive, I Wonder Why

[@qthequick]

I learned the hard way that barbell back squats are t for everyone. Herniated a disc years ago doing a heavy weight that I could lift multiple times but randomly hurt my back. I was young so I shrugged it off but eventually developed progressive sciatica symptoms. Got the microdisectomy done a few years ago and feels great. Primarily do hack squats now to keep the weight from being loaded in my spine

[@qthequick]

@@DeusExMachina50 yes but not directly so I find it more tolerable. The leg press does not but the movement makes the spine rigid or stuck in place so when the weight comes down you can feel the load on your lower back. Not an issue with might weight but heavy load is a problem. The dumbbell split squat is my primary movement where I place the most load

[@qthequick]

@@DeusExMachina50 elevated foot for heavy loads. Walking lunges for volume

[@killmat1c]

Barbell backsquats are for everyone that has a back and two legs. Anecdote of injury is like saying water isn't for everyone because someone drank themselves to death trying to cut weight.

[@qthequick]

@@killmat1c the squat movement is for everyone with a back and 2 legs. Barbell squats is fine but they are not for everyone and they aren’t necessary. A squat motion is tho so I don’t disagree

[@calholli]

I think they are onto something... But I don't know what it is because you guys didn't show the workouts you did with them.

[@joshneil2314]

Onto something 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Your worse than them clowns…

[@joshneil2314]

You Clown 🤡

[@joshneil2314]

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[@stephenschuster9929]

Shocker, everything everyone knows about training is wrong and will get you injured. You have to buy our hippy dippy "functional" training program.

[@bigkurz]

Pretty much. Bunch of Mumbo jumbo to be honest. I can’t even listen to it!

[@stephenschuster9929]

​@@bigkurzif you need a good laugh look up some of the "exercises" they do.

[@CrazedCorgi]

They're clowns, everyone else is wrong. 😂

[@mainsourcery]

They have results of fixing people though.

[@bobbywrigs8762]

I was about to go bench press and then I heard these guys talking…. Nah I am still going to go hit bench.

[@kevinhickey2589]

[@Gainzster]

Running is TAXING, running to an extent will cause dysfunction, everything has its negatives, a hybrid athlete is best that's it

[@willvelasquez4592]

How many countries have hired these guys to train their athletes for the Olympics? Probably not that many. I would rather listen to past videos from Charles Poliquin or someone who looks like they lift.

[@misohappy7390]

This guy is not making usain bolt faster hahahaha

[@forceoneX]

He probably could "hahahah".................

[@rinoishak]

@misohappy7390 agree

[@misohappy7390]

@@forceoneX absolutely not.

[@cholkymilkmirage4984]

I think he prolly could. They make ppl that cant move, move. If its all about respecting gait and gait mechanics then maybe they can make him run faster.

[@killmat1c]

The arrogance of a snake oil salesman at play.

[@Paul-Weston]

I've never seen a 'functional' PT wirh a physique that has me thinking, "Hmmm, yup that's what i want to look like".

[@che9357]

Phew thankful he decided to discuss human function and not birds, with his definition of functioning function on conjunction junction...

[@Gojimaru]

1:46 Nsima's face says it all.

[@killmat1c]

​@@Gojimarulol nice grab

[@killmat1c]

These dudes can't go away fast enough.

[@lukeandresen9856]

Same old arguments. Back Squats will stand the test of time. Functional “Patterns” and movements can and should be added in for athletes. People need to stop maligning other modalities just because they’re trying to sell something. If they were fucked in their early 20’s from Squats then they didn’t do them correctly and that’s their problem. Wouldn’t take advice from someone who’s so myopic that they shit on BACK SQUATS 🤦🏻‍♂️ Also, what do you think would happen if you recklessly performed a FP exercise?? You’d get injured! Not saying FP is useless, never tried them, and I’d assume they have many useful gems but I probably won’t be paying them money for the simple fact that they’re silly and cultish.

[@killmat1c]

All movement is functional. This is hysterical that they are bringing this concept back from the dead. "There isnt a bar in nature." Lmao what a clown.

[@OfficialLeverKing]

This is not what the said principle is. Train sport by doing the sport. Don’t do weird bs to ineffectively strengthen muscles that are better strengthened by major lifts. There’s a difference between workout and practice

[@Paul-Weston]

I'm sorry but you're wrong. Sprinting, you could spend 6 days a week sprinting. Just sprinting in every workout. You will get beaten by a guy who trains with weights 3 days per week, Day on day off, with a mix of light weights lifted explosively and heavy weights lifted in the 3-5 rep range and medium weights in the 8-12 rep range. Then on the days in-between practice sprinting. Obviously I'm not an athletics coach and that ratio of weight training vs sprint training would need to be tweaked a little. However, there's a reason every sprinter in the world trains like this.

[@Monarch-mm4en]

I’m for sure faster than them at sprinting, and did not do FP. And they will prolly hurt themselves in trying to beat me at sprints cos they will push to hard for what their body can do. Morale of the story, I don’t think any movement are necessarily wrong, every movement will hurt you if you push more than what you can handle, included sprinting which is the top movement of FP

[@Monarch-mm4en]

No way they can make Usain Bolt faster. He reach the summit of mountain already, that’s his peak, it’s just the path that he took was different from FP. Maybe he could’ve said, that when Usain Bolt started from zero, if he trained with FP, he will reach the summit without any kind of pain

[@moosvism1]

Very interesting take. Been Powerlifting for about 3 years, I do feel how much it taxes my body

[@TheRealTomahawk]

World record holders in the sprint squat a lot of weight

[@difficult_aardvark]

Grifters

[@roughtobebufftv5990]

Next time you go into a commercial gym. Take a look at the age ranges of people squatting and deadlifting heavy. That will tell you everything you need to know.

[@jeffwilliams7054]

Thank you

[@K4R3N]

I'd rather be able to dunk a basketball than have even a 500lbs deadlift or a 250lbs bench.

[@mainsourcery]

The guys talking bad about FP in this comment section……I bet half of them will wind up doing FP.

[@Paul-Weston]

Usually I look at the person telling me I need to do a particular exercise. Then I think to myself, "do they have the physique I'm trying to achieve". If some guy's telling you how to achieve a beautiful smile, then they open their mouth and they have broken yellow teeth. Would you follow his advice?.

[@mainsourcery]

@@Paul-Weston if the guy is known to solve problems & make people more adaptable, I would worry about that a little more than the physique itself..for the moment, at least. FP has results of changing people’s physiques, but those have been driven by the mechanisms of (efficient) sprinting & throwing.

[@Paul-Weston]

@usedblazers isn't that like taking financial advice from a homeless person. Who do you think knows more about building a physique?. These two clowns trying to sell you their program, or Dr. Mike Israetel?.

[@mainsourcery]

@@Paul-Weston your body, your choice.

[@Negrofifthpushingkg]

As a MINDPUMP coach I think the training modality functional training they are talking about could be done for a month block and can contribute to better training then go back to traditional training then you will see results be open minded people but don’t be in one camp for anything . Everything in fitness is important

[@jasonrix3691]

How about 10 months of so called functional training ( more inline with bodies forward design) then 2 months of old school training....say 2 months to peak for a power lifting meet!?

[@Negrofifthpushingkg]

@@jasonrix3691 I approve Love that plan
