    I've already gave my definition of functional strength. It's strength you use or can use everyday in the real world and isn't dependent on how much you can lift or move in the weight room but what you can do in the real world.
    Free weight training gives you functional strength but sometimes being strong in the weight room doesn't mean shit in the real world.
    Now I never said free weight training is non-functional, and if it came off that way I didn't mean for it too.

    You did imply that basic BB training doesn't translate into "real world" strength. If you train for strength in the gym, it will carryover to anything else.

    Getting my thoughts threw in words isn't one of my strengths so if it came off that way that's not what I meant or was trying to say.
    I lift to get stronger and fitter, so I train in the gym doing the basics and more, but I also do other types of training. Tire flips and things like that are just fun for me and that's one of the main reasons I enjoy and recommend them to others.
