Functional Training

Regarding the functional training revolution, the question no one seems to be asking: Why do none of theĀ  leading exponents appear fit, much less have any “functional” muscle to display? I think the public is seeking magic pills with a bedtime story. If it were only so simple!

You’re right. Functional training is not the tale of the musclebuilder and powerlifter. It’s for coaches and fitness educators. It’s for sport and fitness… and refurbishment.

Let’s face it, a bodybuilder would take a hammer to his head if he thought it would build muscle. He’d light himself on fire for striations and drink cyanide for muscularity.

Warning: Do Not Try These Methodologies. Proven Dangerous to One’s Health.

Sincerely… Draper
