If i had to choose one term, that has gotten very far without any understanding and strict defining in fitness world - no doubt it would be the FUNCTIONAL TRAINING.

I was never really concerned about this training modality and thought its just another buzzword made up with the goal of profit. That was my opinion... However when i studied the subject more it turned out that this term is used so popularly even in professional enviroments (sports) which intrigued me a little bit.

What has always brought my attention is the fact that bodyweight excercises seem to take a really high score in the functional scale - very often being portrayed as superior to weight training (in this regard). And this fact was my main motivation to get deeper in the subject, research it and do a video about it - as my goal is to provide the most quality information about bodyweight training.

Among all different definitions, dogmas and opinions, its really a challenge not to lose mind and go crazy. But supporting myself with training and rehab history and research, I did what was in my power to combine all the facts and answer the most commonly asked questions and confusions...

As i know the topic is controversial, feel free to share your opinion on the topic and i will be more then happy to start a conversation.
