Marcus Filly returns to the podcast and takes listeners on a journey through his recent deep dive into traditional bodybuilding-style lifting following a shoulder injury. Reflecting on a year of cutting out high-intensity training and embracing bodybuilding workouts alongside a significant shift in nutrition, Filly shares invaluable lessons learned and insights gained. With the resurgence of bodybuilding's appeal in the fitness world and the evolution of his own approach from a focus on CrossFit performance to a more bodybuilding-centric methodology, Filly explores the intersection of functional fitness and bodybuilding. From redefining what constitutes functional exercises to the importance of balanced strength and full range of motion, Filly challenges conventional notions and emphasizes the ultimate goal of building muscle and strength regardless of the training tools utilized.
Furthermore, they dissect the concept of functional fitness, emphasizing the importance of achieving balanced strength, full range of motion, and coordination, rather than fixating on specific exercises or modalities. Through their discussion, Filly and Derek offer a refreshing perspective that prioritizes results over the tools used to achieve them, challenging listeners to rethink their approach to fitness and embrace a more holistic view of functional training.
