About the programme

Functional Bodybuilding is a training system that prioritises quality of movement over intensity. Where movement quality is more important than the amount of load (weight) or intensity (work) applied. Tempo (time under load) and full range of movement are key. Coupled with the correct number of repetitions, sets and the required amount of rest all have a significant purpose in this programme. Both bodybuilding and Functional Fitness principles are applied throughout this programme, allowing you to feel good and look good.
