Introduction
When you first start working out and going to the gym regularly, you most likely will have fairly modest goals. If you’re like most people, then your aim is probably to build muscle, burn fat and improve your body composition. If you manage that and you look and feel better after a month or so than you did before… then likely you’ll take that as a win.
But as you get more involved in your training and you start to really get into the swing of things, you might find yourself finding that your ambition grows. Instead of just wanting to improve your fitness generally, you’ll probably start getting a buzz from setting new personal records, from shifting more weight and from feeling the power in every movement you make. Eventually, you become like a coiled spring, waiting to pounce and explode into action.
And when you get to that point – where you start wanting to be better than ‘normal’ – you need to reassess the type of training you’re using. Is your current training program optimal in terms of building muscle? More importantly: is it optimal in terms of building strength? Are there other things you could be doing that would help you to become more powerful more quickly?
Instead of aiming to be like a Men’s Health cover model, you’re now aiming to be Bruce Lee. Or why not? Goku.
Who cares about washboard abs? That’s easy! We’re talking about being sharper, faster, stronger and more powerful than all your contemporaries. And that’s what we call functional strength training. Functional because it’s a type of training that helps you to function better out there in the real world – not just look a bit ‘sexier’. Come on, what kind of a goal is that? Strength is what powers you through your day and maintains a strong and supple body no matter what your age.
In this course, we will be looking at functional strength training to help you be all you can be, every day.
