Most of us are as fit as we ever need to be for our day-to-day lives. But the real test of fitness comes when you least expect it: can you outrun danger? Can you carry your own weight? Or another person's? Can you swim, climb, and jump? Can you stay calm in the face of danger? This is another interpretation of functional fitness and it's one I find really interesting.
Georges Herbert discussed the notion of being "Strong to be useful." Many of us would like to think our training would be enough in an emergency, and yet we often don't train in a way that is genuinely practical. Why be able to squat hundreds of pounds if you can't jump over a small ditch, or climb the stairs without getting out of breath?
This video presents some tests of fitness and functionality. There are as many cognitive traits listed here as there are physical, as I believe abilities such as staying calm are actually more important. I got the term "SuperLearner" from Alynna Kayslanco, by the way!
Hopefully, we'll never find ourselves in situations where these skills are necessary. But as a thought experiment, they provide a useful window into just how "useful" certain types of training might be. This can, in turn, help us to approach functional training in a meaningful way.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this guys: are there any important traits I missed? Is this something that matters to you? What do you think are the best ways to train for a crisis?
Thanks as always, and enjoy!

I imagine people in this neighborhood seeing the bioneer running full speed and bare chest in every direction
Lmao running bare chest on the way to work and walking lizard crawls on the way back home
you would know in which direction to flee
@@gestucvolonor5069 but it would be pointless, cause he's faster
@@justsomeguywithoutamustach8816 HWHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA YEAH YA GOT A POINT 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he'd lizard walk faster than a normal joe walking
😂😂😂😳😳
I appreciate that you also included mental dexterity, retention, soft-skills, and problem solving, in addition to physical traits. Humans didn't survive because we're the biggest and baddest that nature has to offer, it's our ability to adapt mentally that's gotten us this far.
i would add fasting and cold exposure, they are pretty cool..
@@dimitar2367 and exposure to really hot environments. You never know where you will find yourself in the future.
@Joske Vermeulen indeed, but you could move or just travel to another country.
Is "gotten us this far" meant to survive till now or still live in 10000 years through conquering the universe by stopping to waste material.
@@anarachiteanu1088 I live in a cold country, but I managed to build an infared sauna tent for around 300$. very helpful for that !
You should name this video "How to become the main character"
Facts!
How to be the main character rule #1:
Sit near the windows in the back of the classroom
Lol yea true, I saw the title many times in recommended but didn't click, but now that I've watched it 👍👍👍
Oddly enough, in line with the philosophy of leadership and community he touches on in the video, a more appropriate title may be, "How to Become the Supporting Character"
@@07jackg Samwise Gamgee FTW I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!
A lot of people train because they want to impress others, while some legends train for themselves or just in case some of these situations may occur in their lifetime
Indd lad. Just like some train to become an hero for fun.
I train because I want to become a elite human as I like to say 😂 and because I'll be a fireman.
Facts! That’s exactly why they call it training, because it’s not just for building muscle but also for mental endurance and stamina. If you wanna look good but don’t enjoy putting in the fight and work, you’re defeating the whole purpose.
I started off training for a "better" (better for me) physique.
Now I train because I *WANT TO.*
I train because its my life style. Like the okinawan karate, you must do your training tailored to your needs and you can walk in or out of the school anytime you want. I treat my fitness as to being opportinustic, useful, achieveable, realistic, functional, and a tool of disposal. I am not by all means warrior or fighter. I am however have warrior mentality- just be foundational and simplified with your life.
I like the quote “Train like your life depends on it because one day it might”
That was a Public Information film.
When the Bioneer misses a buss:
Drops bag, rips off shirt, then goes full sprint after it
While carrying the bus bench on his back
@@mostrengo then outrun this bus thanks to shortcut through a river :P
What are you talking about, him missing a kiss?
@@jayw900 that's a Freudian slip buddy
He catches up with the bus, runs three laps around it, sprints to the next bus stop to assert his dominance, then sprints all the way back for his bag and shirt before finally bear/lizard crawling his way back and getting into the bus, wherein he will do incidental training throughout the ride.
I've been hit by a car recently while riding my bike and I'm certain that I would have ended up with severe injuries if my muscles hadn't protected me. Training is investing in your safety 100%
Being buff as hell gives you +10 armour
Hope youre doing well bro
Very sorry to hear that pal, hope you’re ok and didn’t get injured too badly. Something similar happened to me a few years back, wasn’t fun to say the least.....
Hope your fine bro
Been there 😧

2:54 wife and kids stalking in the background
That 1st one is incredibly helpful my girlfriend thinks I am psycho for staying calm under such pressure and stress. It gets you out of more bullshit than you think
For real
Have the same skill, but sometime I get some kind of after-stress effect. Like you solve a problem calmly but your heart starts pounding after solving the stressful problem
And my friends think I am psycho for bursting out even under small pressure and stress. It gets you into more bullshit than you think.
@@alwnthomas_ I'm sorry
I'm trying to get to Tommy Shelby levels of underactive calmness under stress. I got Sh*t tested by someone recently and I could tell I Scared the hell out of him.
That "ask you to help them move home" bit It's so true. It kicks you in the ass and no amount of weights on the deadlift can prepare you for it. I swear its like they always have their heaviest furniture be put upstairs and they have the most narrow stairs ever.
I know right? A good friend of mine and his wife moved two years ago and I helped out. One of the guys helping said I look jacked, but when it came to moving the furniture I tired out so fast and couldn't even move the bigger ones! It was like my muscles are all for show.
Fold out bed couch up to the 4th floor. That SUCKS. Isometric holds, grip, quads. Twisting it and lifting it around corners. I hate those couches. You never use the bed in it anyways.
So true, when I was younger I trained Olympic lifting and so was the default to call when friends and family moved house. I was always shocked at how weak I was at moving load sideways. I had great strength and stability in the front plane, disproportionately less any other direction
Yeh, shouldn't take long, few hours. I have hired a van.
3 days later
Well, sorry didn't realise I had so much stuff, just the couch 2 armchairs, bed and refrigerator and then just my weights and we're done. Sorry about the stairs too.
Every. Damn. Time.
All kidding aside, I think this is a great way to think of our physical fitness as it can actually be very relevant & important. 👍
Definitely it’s always important
You're gonna encounter an economic crisis or pandemic before you ever need to carry people out of burning buildings.
Its always better to be strong than weak
Well well well isn't it my old friend @FitLabb
This is basically a quick summary of the channel as a whole.
Well that was the whole point of fitness in the first place - To be prepared for any crisis, like fighting an enemy, to run, to carry load etc. All in all, just to be an asset to yourself and your people around you.
But down the line it became limited to just look good or be strong ..... For a sport.
I sprained my neck during training gymnastics, and doctor said that if i wouldnt have strong neck muscles (i m doing mma) i would be paralized. Fortunelly I m perfeclty fine now...
Hey Bioneer, I am about to hit 20kgs mark of my weight loss journey, I wanted to thank you for the videos. I made loaded carries part of my daily routine and it made all the difference.
Wow! Great job! Keep it up!
Can you brief on how to go about progressing on loaded carries? Where to start and what to start with?
@@bunny2chandu Pick up something and carry it, then the next time either carry it further or carry something heavier. Rinse and repeat.
@@bunny2chandu start with farmers walk, then either increase the load or duration of the exercise or both.
@@anchiit do you do farmers walk with dumbbells or barbells
This is the training philosophy I adhere to. I spent a number of years incarcerated, and being fit was literally a life saver.
Yes!!! I always say this, “Be fit to be useful in a crisis”, every other reason to exercise is just extras. No need to have your abs showing and having a Adonis frame, get your body where it needs to be, and pull push or carry other’s to safety,this should be the baseline of fitness
I think the single most functional exercise wouldn't be some exotic form of upper body strength building, but something very practical like skipping. Skipping is one exercise that can be useful for; activities of daily living, CV fitness, speed, endurance, agility, co-ordination, responding to every crisis from a house fire to flash flooding, all combat arts including boxing MMA wrestling, active professions like nurses cops fire fighters, close range violent encounters like gun fights & knife fights, & weight bearing joint health.
This channel is not only pure gold, it also may have the most fitting name I've ever seen
Dude is freaking jacked! If I'm listening to anyone it's this guy!
You buffed up during pandemic, while many people get fatter due to too much eating or thinner due to having less money to eat
I don't think I've seen anyone show footage of Shenmue for a demonstration of what sort of obstacles a person might need to overcome before. That's some cultured knowledge there.
One of the best games ever made!
This vid should be titled "What it takes to be a Unit"
Driving a delivery truck at night improves:
-visual acuity,
-situational awareness,
-tracking and predicting the behavior of multiple objects
-adaptation to varied weather
-proprioception extended to the dimensions of the vehicle
- and more!
I recommend it as an addition to any training regimen.
Five years ago I was really fit. I lost a lot of that size, strength and endurance. I’m 34 now and we get our second child in summer. And that’s the reason I want to become fit again. To help my wife better, keep up with two small children, to protect my family if needed and just for quality of life.
You can do it. I think The Bioneer for me is someone to aspire to, so I have been using Kneesovertoesguy free content on yt, then hope to do the program, then next year look into The Bioneer's program to get stacked and jungle ready. Love this stuff, just never thought I'd have access to it, but spent over 10 years doing wushu while working in construction, so I appreciate the demands, physically, time wise and nutritionally. But, hey, who wouldn't be like The Bioneer? He's a top draw example of a masculine man set on great achievements. Brilliant stuff, and good luck Mathias.
@@nationalsocialist8382 nice name
@@jacobchristie497 Thanks man, not everyone thinks so, lol.
@@nationalsocialist8382 I certainly don’t.
@@gloomysunnyboy Well I hope you don't hold that prejudice against me, I've studied the area deeply and use the name because there is nothing to be ashamed about it, not that the paedophiles of Hollywood, Epstein, Weinstein and the crew. As some people don't like it, such as yourself, there are a massive growing number who certainly do like it, after, like me, studying the topic deeply, but c'est la vie
Sorry about the flood in your house & hope you get that sorted out quickly.
You're like the renaissance man of fitness
Bioneer the type of guy to strand himself in the middle of the Wilderness in order to test his Fitness Survival Skills lol;
jokes aside keep up the Awesome content bro👍
Unless you are fat, fitness will have little to do with surviving outdoors. Being fit doesn't guarantee you clean water or a shelter overnight.
@@-whackd Of course, I'm not talking about Instagram fitness people, I'm talking about the ability to lift a log, climb trees, run from predators, or fight off smaller predators, endurance to swim. You have to be in great condition to these feats.
Comes out cloaked in fire mana
Nah, spend a night in the woods foraging and carrying logs for shelter and warmth, then try it in deep snow after sitting on a couch for 3 months. Some degree of fitness is needed lol. But yeah squatting 10k has limited applications
2:54 mommy what is daddy doing there? -making mommy think about another brother or sister for you
😂
I love the way you phrased that😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thats exactly what started me training 15 years ago, when i was 30, climbing the rope with 15 kg at your back is an exercise you dont want to be doing in a dangerous situation, but better be ready in case you need to. Thank you and congratulations on your Channel. A great one
The longer I train the more my goals become centered around GPP. Started as a powerlifter, which was a great way to build a general strength and muscle base, but it can only take you so far.
@Carlo Mig Nothing is wrong with powerlifting.
Awesome video. This is definitely one of the factors that motivates me to train. I see some people get out of breath walking up the stairs. If there was ever some sort of emergency they'd be screwed. You've got to be able to look after yourself and your family in different situations 💪👊
This really is one of the best fitness channels. It feels wholesome and sincere every time I come here. Everything you say is loaded with scientific knowledge and your own anecdotal evidence. You do this because you love it and have passion, not to show off or make money. You and David goggins inspire me daily to be the best I can be!! Thank you!!
At 2:54 u c his family watching him lol
Looking ripped at the min mate! Seems youve put some more size on.
The guy's always packing on the mass... He's after that Bane look you know?! 🤷🏽♂️🤣
nah, he just lost some fat. that‘s what shredding did to me after a bulk phase. I looked like I packed on more muscle, while I actually lost some and fat
@@lonilie
Nice take on it. 👍🏾
Perfect UA-cam refresh
Agreed
The funny thing is, that this is essentially what I have been doing for a good while. I call it "survivalist fitnesss", but I have been doing the other things outside of that window also. Focus, learning, spatial reasoning, martial arts and so on. I have neglected a lot of the running and strength in the last few months but I am taking myself out of that rut asap.
I think everyone should engage in it, as well as traditional prepping, given the volatile state of the western world as is.
Navigation and fitness helped me survive when i climbed up a steap snowEy mountain in my pajama onesy with cliifs and trees in a snow storm when I got to the top it was just white and I lost my way down the danger mountain turns out deer will always know the way down i followed them
I would also include even tough it’s rather unlikely to be helpful: having the ability to take hits and give some. You just need to hit stuff with your knuckles for exemple to strengthen your punches or hit yourself or get hit by a partner to develop a tolerance to pain across any area.
Adding to this, you can train the bones in a very real way - Muay Thai kickboxers practice kicking trees with their shins, and shaolin monks do similar things with their heads.
@@Joe-jh8po exactly, but my level of english got into my way for writing it in an understandable way.
Just not the head! But yes to bones and wolf's law. Weights also increase bone density. Even running does.
In karate they call this body conditioning
@@dontletmememandie6506 reading your comment I wouldn't have guessed English is not your first language!
The "Bioneer" way of thinking is really admirable! Definitely unique, absolutely awesome! Thank you so much!
He is right our athletics events are also divided in :
1 Sprints(defence)
2 Middle Distance run(defence)
3 Long Distance run(defence)
4 Throwing (attack)
5 Jumping(defence)
Another awesome video. Thank you for all the great content. Sorry to hear about the flood, hope you and the family are ok
Yes, I train myself to be ready for just about everything. From fighting like being able to strike from all possible angles without readying myself or winding up or bracing to get power, sprinting on a drop of a dime, catching myself off balance, reflex training, sensitivity, low light to complete darkness, all terrain, extreme temperatures( I try), etc.
This is one of my favourite channels ever, i appreciate you 🙏🏻
Ive ordered the "Functional Training" book, and cannot wait to absorb everything in it. I have really been enjoying my own time over the last coupla months and want to see and feel myself improve in all kinds of fitness and mindfulness, and pretty much everything you say is a massive help and encouragement. So many continuous thanks to you for your incredible channel. By the way-- I hope the flood at yer house that you mentioned at the end of the video didnt do much or any severe damage.👍
Getting better each time, amazing! I'm showing your video's to my students to make them understand more deeply what real fitness is.
Love your approach to physical, mental fitness capacity! Keep up the good work. This channel gives me so many great ideas to implement into my workout.
Great and amazing video. Loved the topics you covered! Very true it’s important to be functional not just able to squat or bench a lot.
The best account on youtube! Always quality information and ideas! Keep them coming and never stop pursuing your greatest self!
Absolutely fantastic video!
I can honestly say my fitness has saved my life and a few other people.
Thank you for being an epic inspiration.
one of your best videos! I feel like knowing how to fast and conditioning while depleted, would also be key during certain emergency scenarios.
I'm truly amazed at the amount of knowledge you have acquired. You focus on the mind too and your videos are crammed full of so much varied information... Well done for producing top quality videos. I'm going to have to watch every single one now.
You summarized why I train, including reasons and skills I don’t actively train yet. Fantastic video.
Great Video. I always enjoy this topic.
I haven't watched your videos for a long time, and WOW that's a real body transformation, you are huge 💪
I love this guy, always coming up with interesting topics instead of the same old same old like other fitness channels..
This is awesome. I just discovered you and have been binge watching your stuff. It rocks!
Thank you for this video, I really like the premise! I loved how diverse your categories are!
To interpersonal skills, I would also add cooperation and intimacy in addition to persuasion. Persuading strangers is a very useful ability, but if you're planning on survival in the long term, you're gonna need to be able to build trust and have people who are in your corner no matter what. No one acts alone- athletes have coaches and team-mates, soldiers have the chain of command and their unit, special operatives have their moles and their backup. Being able to work together with others and love one another is just as important for our survival as are jumping high and fighting good
You’ve gotten bigger Mr. Neer. Well done my brother from across the Atlantic💪🏼💪🏼Fantastic content as always. Namaste, in every sense of the word.
I feel so lucky to have found this video specifically and through it your channel!!! This is perfect for me I have been looking for something like this for a while, I think it will serve for great inspiration and thats just this video alone, and I can already imagine (and see in the recommended section) just what kind of content you put out, and I want to say its amazing!!!.
Please keep on going I'm already a huge fan :)
I've been wacthing your vidoes for some time. I tell you its one of the best real life training information for everyday life brilliant sas you are amazing you do all aspects of training mentally as well amazing keep it up 💪🏼 bless you.
Loving all the film references, the cliff hanging scene is always what I am imaging doing pullups.
sorry to hear about the flood, wish you good luck!
I really enjoy your videos as they are Informative and inspiring! As a chronically unfit nerd I find your point of view particularly rich because of your focus on body AND mind as one thing. This may sound weird to say but for most of my life I have unfairly divided physical and mental dexterity from one another. Thank you for your help! And once again I would like to ask for a video about what a how monster hunting adventurer might train in their off time.
Awesome videos! Thanks for always putting out great content
This is my first time watching ur channel....
This video is so inspirational...
Straight away a fan✌️
I look forward to your videos every week, dude. Never disappointed!
Great video! I've had the Joe Rogan speech "Become the hero of your own story" (potentially paraphrased) in my head for a while now, and this is the perfect content to help do exactly that. Thanks for this content, it's really thought-provoking and helpful! I hope you manage to get the flood in your house sorted asap and hope there wasn't too much damage.
Wow, this really opened my mind to other important forms of improving one's physical and mental.
Thanks so much for input on functionality training, quite helpful!
I recently stumbled upon your channel and it has become my favorite place on youtube almost instantly. Love that you're digging into all areas of training, you're a massive inspiration man. Thank you so much for the quality content
Such an amazing video, the content is so enlightening and it encourages me to learn just be seeing how much you have researched.
It was really helpful. I just experienced a low point in motivation, when I was asking myself why I am training, this video gives a great perspective, thank you :)
was just thinking about this a lot recently, glad someone made a video
damn man i think you are the one coach i've been looking for, i always wanted to become good at a wide variety of situations but i couldn't find a way to, i simply wasn't trying hard enough, i will buy your books as soon as i have the money to, i think this is the first time i've saved the link to books i wanted to buy, because i know im serious about buying them, thanks
wow! perfectly said, i never thought of some of these things you stated. love this.
I really like how this guy approaches the topic holistically. This is a really useful info.
Yes I love it. Great upload and much appreciated
Friday evening? New Video upload from Bioneer? Cheers mates!
Life as the real RPG: developing strategic traits and skills, and overcoming weaknesses through learning and adapting to each particular situation and scenario
This question in the title of your video is the question that I have been asking myself for the past decade.
Also, if I am not motivated to workout, I remember this and I start to exercise right away.
Thank you for this video, sir!
Don't apologize , life happens. This was another outstanding video with great ideas. Please keep them coming.
This list had some many seldom spoken of concepts. Loved it.
I'm always amazed at how many parents rely on other to save their kids.
Mainly at water parks, I see lots of parents who can't swim at all and still take their kids. Guess they hope the life guard is paying attention.
Loved all the different functions talked about here!
Idea 💡: Could you do a video of all your meals including any vitamins, supplements? Your physique has been incredible and I am curious how you fuel it. #Eatforperformancenotpleasure
I love that #
Being ready for anything has always been a goal of mine for working out. Whether it be pulling a 200 pound person from a burning car or just bending over to pick something up at an awkward angle, I always strive to be the guy that can do it all. I've been working on pull ups recently which has always been my weakest point being a bigger guy. I'm now up to 30 or 40 at a time. That's BIG for me, considering for 20+ years I couldn't even do 1 rep. Thanks for the content man, good stuff!
Fantastic video....so much information to think about implementing
My dad showed your channel. I'm currently in techschool for the airforce and watching your vids is very informative and from a fellow nerd and huge batman fan I enjoy your vids..
Great advice that you give out it amazing and helps so much especially when a new video comes out and I watch it seems like my I’m in a game and my knowledge just increases instantly after watching 😂😂
Bro I've been watching for years and you're getting super yoked. You look like a superhero LMAO! KEEP IT UP!
Just got your books... I actually do or have done almost all of this stuff... No wonder you're my new favorite fitness UA-camr! Really liking the look of the routines so far... I think it's really going to help me with my number one challenge I've been facing lately, which is: how can incorporate all of this stuff to cultivate myself in the ways that are important to me, into a routine that I do consistently enough to progress with it all, instead of being into Indian clubs for a few months, parkour/QM for a few months...lately, for example, I've been getting into kung fu exercises, but slacking off on gymnast rings and other forms of strength training...while also earning a paycheck and starting a new career. Because that is a lot of stuff to juggle, and juggling priorities is the absolute hardest thing for me.
This channel is one of the best I've ever seen
Awesome content. Great channel. Keep it up man.
This is the first channel I subscribed to without even watching a single video. I saw a reference in Shreddedsportscience. Boy am I not disappointed!
Interesting and entertaining video! I myself am not training for a certain crisis in particular, but to stay fit and healthy as I age. Being a physiatrist I encourage people to train and to use compensation strategies ( both physical and psychological) to overcome their disabilities.
Man this is the the best fitness channel out!!!!
Now thats the kind of video i was looking for. Thanks
Long time watcher now I decided subscribe to channel,
You are awesome and the real Batman
When I was working security I liked to keep strong in case any one attacked me during the night but most of my colleagues didn't bother they barely left the cabin🤔
I am a fan of this idea, it's a great approach to exercise and physical activity!!
Superb content and this is for one session? 😁👍🍀 I liked the pistil squat to box jump that was ridiculously great. Few other bits too, more than a few then, but what I feel is also a good add on is constructive rest from Alexander technique and the Alexander technique itself. As the men who invented it, FM Alexander, said, "get the means whereby". This is a first class thought to being in the state you're applauding, ie be alive with spirit and the physical attributes to match, ie a warrior part excellence. Also, I feel you're very eloquent which is another quality trait of a true scholar and gentleman. I enjoyed this video very much, thanks for sharing and I hope your home is recovered from the flood. With best regards from Liverpool.
