@BodyPerformanceTV Before I even begin to argue why I don't agree with this video? Steve, by definition, what do you think functional training is?

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@009JohnSmith There's a difference between improving strength and muscularity and increasing coordination of movement.

I'm sorry but did you say that dead lifts are dumb? they are one of the most functional excersises on the planet. No squats, or lunges either? Since when is the gym about doing what isn't hard? Training is about function! Strength without function is useless.  I dissagree with just about everything that you said.

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@TrainInsane1 Dead lifts offer more harm than good. Ever think about age, biomechanics, injuries, what an individual is trying to accomplish, the 1000's of pound of pressure they put on the spine, the difficulty of performing them, etc! That's what make me an expert and you average.

@BodyPerformanceTV Steve,

I don't know nothing when it comes to this shit, but aren't deadlifts great for building up the lower back, trapezius, hips hamstrings, etc.? Like not for the average person but for a bodybuilder arent they good? I dont think theyre good for legs though

[BodyPerformanceTV]

@stevelewisisasexymom Hamstrings and lower back - yes, but I still wouldn't do them as a pro. Still too hard on the back. I would do partial deads off a rack lowering the weight to only my knees with the legs slightly bent. Most guys don't know how to do these.

LOL..well put collin355! I've seen and the said the same thing myself. There's a room that's dedicated to that stuff. Green, blue and red stabililty balls everywhere and strength bands and whatever other shit they have. Those stability balls seem to float all over the gym. Once in awhile one will be in the Strength room. I'm going down with a squat and one will be sitting next to the rack. Between sets you gotta kick it out of there. God help me,...those things are SO useless!

Nothing new under the sun. What is the new trend today in training, it has been actually practiced by Russian athletes for the last fifty years. I guess many people use the term functional to refer to training that is relevant to daily life movement and activities - not bodybuilding, mirror muscles.... Bench pressing, for instance has no function or in others worlds it doesn't simulate any specific technique in most sports.

[dethmaul]

Functional is just the 'name' for real weightlifting, which kinda just boils down to free weights. Throwing kettlebells around, flipping tires, building the core, things that don't have a crutch like a machine. Using the whole body. Machines are good for bulking up, but a healthy body develops the supporting muscles that 'functional' training builds.

[boxer0121]

I think the information on the video is great - I am not sure about the dead lifts and squats not being any good - compound exercises are great for mass gains, which would be functional if you were training for American Football or a similar explosive power sport. Coming back to injury with the spine, you obviously work up to greater loads, allowing your body to adapt to the increased pressure and workload - done properly over time and safely - there shouldn't be too much of a problem!

[009JohnSmith]

@BodyPerformanceTV . Yes, but that still doesn't answer my question

[009JohnSmith]

@BodyPerformanceTV in beginning an exercise program, why shouldn't we do any core training?
