What's the difference between Functional Bodybuilding & Bodybuilding? #SHORT

What’s the difference between Functional Bodybuilding & Bodybuilding?

Bodybuilding grows muscle for show, but doesn’t necessarily make you a better athlete.

Functional Bodybuilding builds well-rounded fitness. Alongside bodybuilding principles, we add mobility and full range of motion to keep your body feeling good as it gains strength.

You’ll make progress week after week AND look better.

Sounds like a no brainer, don’t you think?

    I love how you say its the same workout forever thats hilarious. Just to prove your point? My brother has done functional training for 5 years. Hes still not that strong 😂. Even when we arm wrestle i still use just my bicep and a little bit of my lat muscle. Also people just to let you know people looking this dry all year round theyre using shit no question.

    All bodybuilding is functional bodybuilding. The body cannot tell the difference between the two. The true difference are the goals of the individual.

    To each his own.
    But most functional BB ive chatted with in the gym are using this as an excuse not to progress in BB routines.
    “Yeah, bro, id be stronger and bigger but i really focus on functional so you know im solid overall and can like do alot of stuff.”
    And they layer a lot of joint issue crap that BB also kno2. Young or foolish ego BB of coursehave problems, im sure functional do as well. Its a progresskon learning curve whatever.
