WHICH WORKOUT PLAN IS BEST ? | the difference between functional training and hypertrophy

[@lulasamir2794]

This is very helpful. I was aiming for hypertrophy but I think I'm in love with functional training

[@hannahlane3540]

Love this video! Since I’ve found you, I’ve focused a lot more on incorporating functional strength but also learning the risk in a lot of the traditional hypertrophy moves even though one of my goals is building muscle. There’s so much to functional training that I find to be so much more fun and efficient to both the now of getting stronger and later in life!

[@JustinaErcole]

Remember that there's risk in everything! I definitely don't want you to think I'm demonizing these exercises. Everything has risk, you just have to weigh it against the rewards :)

[@hannahlane3540]

@@JustinaErcole That’s exactly what I meant :)

[@Thecozylittlehollow]

Great information! I love unilateral work, and functional training is my tea of choice for the moment. During the chest press, I immediately thought of Team Fornever Lean and how he talks about the elbow angle.

[@JustinaErcole]

He’s right! Soooo much safer and more efficient :) thanks for watching!

[@75JayLady]

I love feeling strong and my strength helps me in everyday life...I do miss a barbell, but I also fell in love with unilateral training. Thank you Justina!

[@JustinaErcole]

And you can do both!

[@foggybottomz]

I love how you explained what to expect from each variation for the amount of resistance and which muscles to engage. Thank you for this video!

[@JustinaErcole]

You're so welcome!

[@Smurphotography]

Always learning so much from your videos! Thank you!

[@JustinaErcole]

Glad to hear it!

[@steph2u]

I love this!! Such good breakdown and incorporation of different movement patterns. I'm definitely one that love the traditional functional moves and then add on a few reps of the "extreme" stuff at the end. Really fun! Thanks Justina I am absolutely enjoying your content. It's informational and realistic. Getting a little tired of the overly produced stuff out there with crazy filters!

[@dloganable]

Any reason not to do both? I’ve been doing Natacha Oceane’s program and I like how we get to do the classic lifts, and track progress on them, and also functional movements (moving in all planes etc.) usually after the big barbell lifts. Great video, as per usual

[@JustinaErcole]

Like I said, it 100% depends on your goals!

[@morganwentworth2041]

Are you doing Move? I was thinking about trying it after I finished my current training block

[@Mjamjamjam]

You're one of the few last remaining reasons that I still regularly go on KZbin, I enjoy your channel so so much! Just wanted to say that :)

[@JustinaErcole]

Oh wow thanks Jasmin!

[@heidistaddon5004]

Holy schnike!! This is exactly what has been kicking around in my brain for a while, but I haven’t had the terms (labels) to define and refine my approach. Thank you!!!! So very happy to have opened up YT today and check my sub list (you and Briannah Jewel are my faves) PS: one request? Please no more discounting what # you’re lifting or explaining away any regressions. You very clearly stated your workout intentions and goodness!! anyone paying a kick of attention can see that you’re actually working 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 (I catch myself apologizing or explaining it then remember, dammit! Ain’t no body’s business but my own) 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@JustinaErcole]

I have such a bad habit of apologizing or underselling myself so thank you for calling it out Heidi!

[@rtdonin]

I love your videos! Instead of front squats (because I hate the position to hold the bar) I do zercher squats, you can't load them that heavy but I find the position a great way to reinforce actively engaging your core in a squat movement.

[@JustinaErcole]

Another great option!

[@elizabethcampbell7210]

I just want to say how much I love your channel! It is so real and helpful!

[@JustinaErcole]

I’m so happy you’ve found it helpful Elizabeth!

[@coolking3030]

As a newbie trainer, I am learning a lot from you. Thanks for your videos.🤗🤗

[@JustinaErcole]

You're so welcome!

[@cjsfunbun]

I dont know how anyone enjoys or safely does an over head press with barbell! I just feel like the likelihood they're doing a back bend to get the bar up is very likely . Unless their face is flat as a board it's likely in their way. Glad there's other options. Loved the video!! Thank you!

[@JustinaErcole]

It's definitely a tricky one!

[@amygreen9662]

I've been doing physical therapy exercises for my knee arthritis, so functional. I'm a pear shape so I do muscle building on the upper body. This method does make me feel better.

[@JustinaErcole]

That's great that you've found something that works for you!

[@Bronwen.Forbes.Kotze1983]

Very helpful. Thanks so much again Justina!!!

[@JustinaErcole]

So happy you enjoyed!

[@ashrafjafari9119]

Thank you for this brilliant video you made . You definitely answered my whole questions ❤

[@KStefaniak28]

Excellent!! I have never been a fan of the barbell for all of the reasons you pointed out which is why Body Pump classes aren't a good fit for me.

[@JustinaErcole]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@gilliebeann]

dang, that sldl -> row -> clean looks hard af. These look super fun! Thanks for this video~~

[@JustinaErcole]

It was hard 😅

[@frogribbit44]

Always such good info in your videos!

[@JustinaErcole]

Thank you!

[@whispersonthestreet]

I love the hyperfunctional combos! Can we get a video with more of those!

[@JustinaErcole]

Possibly! I also have some workouts on my website that utilize them if you ever want suggestions :)

[@morganwentworth2041]

I used to ask my trainer for functional movements and then complain that the movements didn't use barbells (I like lifting as heavy as possible) 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for showing everything put next to each other! It helps a lot especially since my goal right now is to balance quad dominance

[@JustinaErcole]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@xtina_129]

I just watched a video on ObesetoBeast and rushed over to your channel! I immediately subscribed and I’m learning so much! Do you do online consultation for personalized workout plans? I’d love to get one!

[@JustinaErcole]

Hey! So happy to have you here :) I don’t currently do personalized programming but am happy to answer any Qs you have!

[@corintiaguzman1798]

Gracias Justine por toda la información. Alguna youtuber de funcional que me recomiendes seguir?

[@JustinaErcole]

You're so welcome! Natasha Oceane also talks about functional training :)

[@hamsteroncoffee]

Wow, such a cool video packed with so much good info 💪❤️! I absolutely hate that Turkish Getup thingey 😬🥺😅. I was doing some videos from Sydney and she added those in. And all I could say is: whattt are youuu doing, girl?! Definitely something I am not looking forward to do anytime soon 😜

[@JustinaErcole]

They’re tough! Especially learning them from a video :)

[@hamsteroncoffee]

@@JustinaErcole haha, they are, yeah. I had to go back and forth a couple of times in the video to understand what was happening. I am glad you also confirmed it, so it is not just me thinking that those are though...

[@josephroa4475]

Excellent video and explanations

[@JustinaErcole]

Glad you liked it!

[@ONEDIRECTINLOVER888]

Great video! How you ever taken an F45 class?

[@JustinaErcole]

Yes, I think they have the best programming out of the big chains!

[@rosekang553]

If I’m hoping to hypertrophy but only have access to home dumbbells, would I achieve the same results compared to gym barbells as you’re showing in the video? I guess I’m asking whether my hands/grip strength will be limited more by dumbbells than barbell

[@JustinaErcole]

Hey! This depends on a lot of factors. Your grip strength, weight you have access to, as well as nutrition. But there’s really no reason you can’t work for hypertrophy with dumbbells!

[@rosekang553]

Thank you so much ❤

[@giuliaduminuco1757]

Hey great content! I may have missed it but wondering if training functionally you still have to aim for progressive overload?

[@JustinaErcole]

I do!

[@giuliaduminuco1757]

@@JustinaErcole can I ask you why? I get the principle behind building muscle but just curious about the functional approach . Thanks!

[@JustinaErcole]

@@giuliaduminuco1757 You simply can't get stronger without progressive overload. All that means is progressing the exercise in some way. Weight, reps, sets, angles, tempo, etc.

[@giuliaduminuco1757]

@@JustinaErcole ok get it..and progression is not always muscle growth in functional training that's why you're listing all these different ways that may not be ideal exclusively for hypertrophy, if I'm getting it right. Thanks for the feedback!

[@JustinaErcole]

@@giuliaduminuco1757 And you can still build muscle while working functionally. Remember that functional simply means with purpose.

[@nikkiblanton4948]

Just curious, what’s that little device in your shirt?

[@JustinaErcole]

My mic!

[@AnHourOfWolves]

So is it just down to weight then? Hypertrophy is higher weight?

[@JustinaErcole]

Nope! Hypertrophy also has to do with volume, tempo, and intensity.

[@AnHourOfWolves]

@@JustinaErcole Thanks. I'll watch the rest of the vids on your channel. I was today years old when I learned there was functional training, and it wasn't always just training for hypertrophy!

[@monicapavlick6836]

Any chance of you doing a progression on those Turkish getups? Your pushup one is how I finally nailed them.

[@JustinaErcole]

I do! It's in this video around 0:28 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKfMcqBmoq6LeJY

[@BrawnyKingFitness]

For a moment I thought I clicked on a makeup tutorial by mistake. Great video though 👍 Joel Seedman is a big reason why functional training got a bad name.

[@JustinaErcole]

Hahaha thank you!

[@candicemiller15]

Have I been doing a deadlift wrong my whole life? I thought my legs were supposed to be straight

[@JustinaErcole]

That’s a straight leg deadlift and biases the hamstrings. There’s lots of different kinds :)

[@MrPathorock]

When did people start to record video while doing makeup?

[@JustinaErcole]

Probably about 10 years ago!

[@RosiePinUp]

I have no idea why but I always confuse you with another KZbinr on here named Taylor 😭

@@JustinaErcole YES! lol I have no idea why bcuz you guys really don’t look anything alike but it’s what my brain automatically goes too 😭😂😂 Everytime her videos pop up I’m like “wait isn’t her name Justina?” And then I’ll do the same things when your videos pop up 🤦🏽‍♀️ I swear for the longest time I thought you guys were the same ppl and I would get so confused lol 😩🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

HIIIII I really want to try your program on the fiit club but 50$ a month is a lot for trying :( im sure its worth the price because you work really hard , its just a lot right now :( but Ill try when money is not that much of an issue 🖤

Just a heads up, I have a whole playlist of workouts on here that are pulled from the FITT Club for people to try out prior to committing 😊
