functional does have meaning. front squat and squat in general ARE functional. Such compound exercises will gear you to healthier life and is typically applied for athletic exercise routines
@@GEEZYEA777 functional can mean different things to different people. for example, many calisthenics guys argue that they have more "functional" strength than weight lifters, but what does that mean? if they lined up against a 300 pound lineman who benches 500, they'd get thrown around easily.
Did industrial construction for 40 yrs and deads, squats and bench helped out tremendously lifting very heavy awkward objects. Curiously, oly lifting did not carry over to better job site performance
@@decky9718 If olympic lifting is just technical, why does my football coach teach us power cleans and power snatches? Is it going to help or is it a waste of time?
@@MonkeyyFN it’ll help with force production, but in endeavors where strength matters more (like regular jobsite performance) just being strong is fine
I have been powerlifting for 4 months now, and Ive noticed not just an improvement in my overall general performance, I’ve also noticed a significant increase in muscle mass. I have not had any decrease in my cardio performance. Personally PowerLifting has been great and I’m happy with the results.
I agree that strongmen are more useful but that doesnt make us better or the training better 😂 we just do different shit because thats what the sport calls for
Ironically, i went from strongman to powerlifting. Better overall health. It's true that strongman is more functional, but honestly it's to a certain extent. Farmers walk, carrying odd shapes. But I frequently had a lot of aches in my neck and back because it was in always in awkward positions. Multiple torn calluses from farmers as well.
Powerlifters are men of culture and aesthetics, who work hard to build healthy bode. Crossfit athletes are moving company employees who tries to carry more and faster but for free and for cracked up joints and ligaments. So yeah they’re tough like a roided up employee of moving company.
No it's not. If taken to the extreme, then sure. But you won't experience muscle atrophy from cardio as long as you eat enough to make up for the calories burnt doing cardio.
Well, yeah. Most people sadly only think about super heavyweights when talking about strongman/powerlifting. The vast, vast majority in lower bodyweight classes are very mobile and flexible.
Training for aesthetics it’s kind of silly because you’re gonna look good if you work out regardless girls aren’t particularly picky but if you’re going to a bodybuilding show by all means train for aesthetics but women just like muscles I swear the deciding factor between you and the next guy isn’t your chest being 2 inches smaller are you having slightly smaller shoulders then it’s actually a difficult choice for the majority of the time girls just like fit and strong men they don’t care and if you train for aesthetics to look good in the eyes of other people that you care too much I’m not saying, go out like a bum obviously care about how you look, but if you train a dedicate hours of your time, died in nutrition to look at a certain type of way in front of other people you care a little too much

Gabriel looking more like John haack than last time
Dude is strong as hell; but him clearly trying to emulate Haack's look and style down to a T is a bit cringe, ngl.

trying not to have an all or nothing mentality (CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE)
functional is a buzzword, means whatever you want to mean, so it means nothing.

@@MonkeyyFN i agree but to say powerlifting cannot be optimizd or isn't functional is not a matter of opinion. they'd be objectively wrong
Says the couch potato!!!!
Lol!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Given the amount of strongmen that argue squatting and bench are pointless for them cause they’re not sport specific i find his argument a little sus
aint no strongman arguing squats are pointless, it's literally an event they can have.

Olympic lifting didn’t because it’s more technical (the main lifts anyway). sbd did cause it’s just strength.

@@MonkeyyFNCongratulations on your reading comprehension. He said the Olympic lifts are "more technical", not "just technical".

@@theaccordian9377 Original comment said that oly lifts didn't help... not that it helped less
Great points, it’s just like complaining that ballet and cycling don’t really improve your deadlift 😂
I love when the ladies bring up aesthetics
If it didn't work for you, it means you suck not powerlifting.
Not matt squatting just a little more than gabriels deadlift lmao

Putting in the extra effort to have a good body composition is an advantage in most weight classes in powerlifting.

Thats why i do athletic bodybuilding by the Rios twins
Cardio besides walking is detrimental to bodybuilding and powerlifting
You're so wrong! If u have a better cardiovascular system you will naturally be stronger.
No it's not. If taken to the extreme, then sure. But you won't experience muscle atrophy from cardio as long as you eat enough to make up for the calories burnt doing cardio.
Afaik powerlifters are more mobile than average, at least their lower bodies are

John Haack v2 isn't real.
Breathing oxygen also has its downsizes , but i'm not going to tell people to unalive themselves like the guy in the comment

The fact that you managed to type out a completely incoherent text wall with a total of three punctuation marks is crazy.
Strongman is mor athletic and ive tried both powerlifting and strongman.
all 9 lifts?
Think he’s talking about a meet right? Like 3 squats 3 benches 3 deadlifts
Alright now let’s see one of those 450 pound strongmen squat triple their body weight. It’s just training for different things
Powerlifting is not functional which is true. All you're saying is you can be a powerlifter and still be a functional athlete. Its not the same thing
Imagine all your life training for 3 cheats lift s 😂😂😂😂 powerlifting is for clowns
