i used to be a national athlete and i can tell u functional training was important to us.

I think the biggest thing that the majority of people don't understand is the term "function". I remember as a junior doctor spending a few months in Occupational and Rehabilitation Medicine, the OT's and Physicians explaining what occupation and function actually meant in terms of movement and daily living, and that functional training was all about being able to perform that specific function or occupation. It wasn't what a lot of PT's and Crossfit athletes were advocating.
@@redmetalpanda9051 yeah I guess it makes sense to do it this way then. I thought about increasing stability but the one you're doing is more about specificity

What is the function of an exercise? Isolation movements like leg extensions train that function. It might not be a one to one replication the way a squat is to sitting to standing, but that's still a function.

For the vast majority of people who aren’t training for any specific sport, the importance of general muscular and strength development dwarves that of the “functional” training that people like Mario Rios push. Isolation exercises can work just as well as compound movements for this, but most people would benefit from including both.
@@drphilsranch6782 By your standards anything is functional. Even jerking it 5 times a day is functional since it strengthens the arm muscles. What functional training actually is is simulating real life movements, i.e. deadlifts=picking up furniture or farmer carries=carrying groceries. Not some bullshit complicated machine
I agree! "Functional training" is usually referring to movements that have carryover to certain skill or movements. I think what they mean is "practical training" or skill specific training /sport training
Functional strength isn’t stupid, it’s just different for everyone. But for most gym goers, mainly using free weights and standing exercises is very functional.
To me, functional training is meant to mimic real life movement eg. farmers carries will directly translate to your average everyday object lifting. It’s also about building work capacity so that there’s little difference between training and real world needs
There's definetely a fine line between 'functional trainig' and trash, but what many weight lifting exercises don't train is balance, flexibility, agility and coordination. Just watch some of those big body builders move. They're very strong, but they're not flexible and definetely not agile or well coordinated. They look like athletes but they only have a single one of the abilities an athlete should have.
I’ve never seen a single advocate of functional exercise doing goofy ahh movements like that. People like Ben Patrick and SquatUniversity and EverydamnDre use old school movements with new school principles like knees over toes, ass to grass squats, full range of motion at lighter weights with higher reps, full range of motion stretches, etc.
Good ur watching the right ppl. He’s making fun of the loud ppl on TikTok who do funky ass shit and say it’s functional training and everything else is incorrect.
Functional just depends what function you end up needing, for me i do parkour i have a 10ft standing jump if i had a leg extension machine maybe id have a 11 foot idk
functional meaning it aids you in your regular functioning. How often are you straight up bicep curling something in your daily life outside the gym? deadlifts, farmer carries, sure those might have actual use. But can't say that something is functional just because it makes you stronger in one specific movement pattern. It's functional if that movement pattern reflects activities you perform in your everyday life.
Yes, it’s functional to have the hability of getting off a chair or walking without a cane, but it’s even more functional when you can jump very high, or run fast, or rotate your body to punch, or even fatally extending your leg for a kick. If you do leg extensions, you’ll obviously build strength, but this strength isn’t applicable to most daily situations, and it could improve even more if you do movements like squats, deadlifts and stuff.
@Bife_11 well yeah but you actually have to complete the squat. If your limiter for progressive overload in a squat is your quads youd isolate them so you can keep advancing your squat. Even most bodybuilding routines work with frontened compounds, then isolations. In my experience the only difference between good strength and bodybuilding routines is rep ranges (and you could argue the higher rep ranges are more functional for most day to day experience than the lower ones of strength builders). And then second difference is bodybuilders will afterwards isolate for aesthetics vs pure powerlifters who will isolate just to get past sticking points in major lifts. But even then, like Ill still address actual weaknesses during bodybuilding phases in isolation because the 'functional' compounds give more bang for the buck so I want to be able to complete them. How many people are really just going into the gym and bro splitting between different isolations without compounds? Unless you know what youre doing on a competitive bodybuilding level and know what you need on stage Id just call that inefficient. Basically all Im saying is its hard to imagine someone blowing up their quads for vanity without the functional frame to support that around it. And at that point, hey the vanity bit is just the slice of hobby on top of legitimate strength gains.
Every exercise is functional. That's the entire point of exercise. "Functional training" should only be understood in terms of the specific movements you train outside of exercise, such as a specific sport, and should be left to that arena and not jumbled into good old fashioned gym training.
Agreed functional training doesn’t exist, the best route is to just get stronger and then train the skill u want to be strong in and ur strength will carry over, but doing “functional” fitness won’t help
Yes. You improve function in a muscle, you are more functional. Not everything needs to be optimal to be great. You dont have to be beethoven to be an incredible musical artist
I have to disagree. A bodybuilder trains by focusing on contracting a muscle. He might have big legs, sixpack abs and a thick lower back, but he probably cant deadlift a lot. A powerlifter or somebody who does crossfit (I mean the old crossfit not the ridiculous shit it is now) who trains more functional will be able to pick up more stuff. There is a reason why the military doesn’t do bodybuilding.
Military training is a selection process, and then it's job training. They literally do not have time to fix your defective body or lack of fitness. Basically, anyone under 25 who isn't disabled can finish military basic training with the tiniest amount of willpower. Most healthy men won't change physically through basic. Mentally it's a whole process which is the point. They don't do bodybuilding because changing your fitness level isn't even the point. It's a test to pass. It's like calling the NFL combine a training program.
Isolation excercises are better than nothing, but in my unqualified opinion, people who train for general health and mobility are wasting their time with things like biceps curls. Compound exercises would be much more beneficial.
@@nd_otd I would argue that people who don't train primarily for hypertrophy don't really need to complement their compound movements. They get enough stimulus from them.
@@silberlung3440 I'd agree if we're talking about someone who trains for a specific sport, since the time they'd spend on the isolation exercises might be better used for the sport-specific exercises. But for someone who's only training for general fitness, not only that it's not gonna hurt, but they'll also reap the additional benefits as well with minimal fatigue cost.
"Wasting time with things like bicep curls" WHAT?? Dude if you actually did physical labour, youd know how much biceps are involved. This one guy i knew had huge biceps carrying buckets of chicken, bicep curls are extremely functional. We pick stuff up in front of us all the time, papers, boxes, cabinets if were moving them, clothed for laundry, etc
If u watched the vid, some of the results mentioned are just standing up from sitting on a seat, walking without a cane. It's functional basically but I've never seen any single athlete boasts about their ability to do those in sports😅
What the heck does functional even mean? Like anything is functional if you consider that it serves a function, and anything you do with your body will serve a function. That's why I feel like it's just an empty marketing term, because it doesn't seem to describe anything specific, just creates an image. Choose your function and go basically.
I mean... I think of strongman when I think about functional training. Lots of basic compound movements, plus some moving with weight in various ways. Yoke carry, farmers carry, and sandbag carry are about as functional as it gets, especially when supported by squat, dead, and OHP. I'm well aware that's not the standard Internet definition of it, as well as that it's not ideal for people trying to rid themselves of the need to use a walker, as it's too high a minimum ability level for them.
I really can't stand the "functional training" people. Any time I hear someone say it, I immediately disregard their input on anything fitness related. Every exercise is functional... every muscle has a function, a purpose. My favorite response to those people is, "So what are the dysfunctional exercises?" And watch them suddenly realize how dumb they sound.
Functional refers to the strengthening of the movement, or how the muscle is used in day to day life, or how that muscle is used in sports. If I’m a wrestler, doing leg extensions is great for my strength in picking people up and and having the muscle for the load, but I would still rather do walking lunges with a weighted ball because it conditions my legs AND upper body to the movement so I’m not getting as tired and I can still pick them up with the same amount of power. It’s not that other exercises can’t be functional, but there are other actual exercises out there with the purpose of supporting and targeting the “functional” aspect of the body. If you get it, good for you, if you don’t, whatever doesn’t matter.
@williambraud4979 That just confirms what I just said. They're all functional. 🤦🏻♂️ If that's you in your pfp then I'm not even gonna bother discussing it with you because you're like 12.
“a functional exercise is considered to be any exercise that utilizes the abdominal (core) muscles to stabilize the body for upper and/or lower extremity movements” - NSCA textbook for leg exercises specifically an exercise is considered more functional when it is “closed chain” meaning the legs are stacked under the hips, making exercises such as leg extensions and hamstring curls non-functional and non-realistic movement patterns
All these functional bros are gonna have a fit when they realise theres more than 1 exercise you can do, aka you dont have to skip an exercise cos it doesnt work out every single fibre of every muscle ever, cos you got OTHER EXERCISES 🌟🌟✨️✨️ theres something called a PROGRAM that can cover every part of the body with exercises that are isolations too!! Crazy right??
Leg extensions aren’t functional tho because they don’t transfer optimally. Sure pretty much any exercise can make you better at anything to an extent like you could give a couch potato a chest press machine and it would probably improve their ability to sprint but does that mean it’s optimal no therefore it’s not functional

Functional exercises are ones that are as close to primal movements as possible that require the use of both main movers and stabilizers. Leg extension machines is a perfect example of an exercise that is not functional.

Functional patterns is ploting as we speak
For functional training engage your core while doing a standing bench press 😂.
Id love to see dr mike see this
What the heck does functional even mean? Like anything is functional if you consider that it serves a function, and anything you do with your body will serve a function. That's why I feel like it's just an empty marketing term, because it doesn't seem to describe anything specific, just creates an image. Choose your function and go basically.

I mean... I think of strongman when I think about functional training. Lots of basic compound movements, plus some moving with weight in various ways. Yoke carry, farmers carry, and sandbag carry are about as functional as it gets, especially when supported by squat, dead, and OHP.
I'm well aware that's not the standard Internet definition of it, as well as that it's not ideal for people trying to rid themselves of the need to use a walker, as it's too high a minimum ability level for them.
I really can't stand the "functional training" people. Any time I hear someone say it, I immediately disregard their input on anything fitness related.
Every exercise is functional... every muscle has a function, a purpose. My favorite response to those people is, "So what are the dysfunctional exercises?" And watch them suddenly realize how dumb they sound.
Functional refers to the strengthening of the movement, or how the muscle is used in day to day life, or how that muscle is used in sports. If I’m a wrestler, doing leg extensions is great for my strength in picking people up and and having the muscle for the load, but I would still rather do walking lunges with a weighted ball because it conditions my legs AND upper body to the movement so I’m not getting as tired and I can still pick them up with the same amount of power.
It’s not that other exercises can’t be functional, but there are other actual exercises out there with the purpose of supporting and targeting the “functional” aspect of the body.
If you get it, good for you, if you don’t, whatever doesn’t matter.
@williambraud4979 That just confirms what I just said. They're all functional. 🤦🏻♂️ If that's you in your pfp then I'm not even gonna bother discussing it with you because you're like 12.

@Matheus_Braz So you think there's benefit and merit to arguing with a literal child? Your comment tells me everything I need to know about you.
“a functional exercise is considered to be any exercise that utilizes the abdominal (core) muscles to stabilize the body for upper and/or lower extremity movements” - NSCA textbook
for leg exercises specifically an exercise is considered more functional when it is “closed chain” meaning the legs are stacked under the hips, making exercises such as leg extensions and hamstring curls non-functional and non-realistic movement patterns
Bro got huge calfs
Have a beautiful day my friends
All these functional bros are gonna have a fit when they realise theres more than 1 exercise you can do, aka you dont have to skip an exercise cos it doesnt work out every single fibre of every muscle ever, cos you got OTHER EXERCISES 🌟🌟✨️✨️ theres something called a PROGRAM that can cover every part of the body with exercises that are isolations too!! Crazy right??
Functional training is just a buzzword that a guy with small arms came up with.

Train your quadriceps
Mario Rios sint gonna enjoy the leg extension part
corpse pose in yoga class makes sleeping on my mattress at home feel easy.
So did the study compare to other movements?
Take this Mario Rios
Leg extensions aren’t functional tho because they don’t transfer optimally. Sure pretty much any exercise can make you better at anything to an extent like you could give a couch potato a chest press machine and it would probably improve their ability to sprint but does that mean it’s optimal no therefore it’s not functional

That is not the definition of functional.
Functional exercises are ones that are as close to primal movements as possible that require the use of both main movers and stabilizers. Leg extension machines is a perfect example of an exercise that is not functional.
Building stronger quadriceps muscles around the knee joint isnt functional...got it
@@slee2695it doesnt train your core or other leg muscles so it wont help them work together
@@aalytoks9755 it will cos you have a thing called "a program ✨️" which means you can do rdls and leg extensions, you can do single leg good mornings and leg press. This whole argument falls flat when you realise more than 1 exercise exists
Nice Polyphia shirt.
Any kind of physical training is functional training.
