Vol. 21 — Functional Training & Movement Patterns

'Functional' got hijacked by wobbly boards. Here's what the word actually means.

Six chapters reclaim a term the industry ran into the ground: what functional training genuinely is, the seven primal movement patterns your body is built around, and the unilateral work that fixes the imbalances a barbell hides. You'll learn loaded carries, anti-rotation and real core training — not endless crunches — and how to design a session that transfers to life outside the gym. Function means your training shows up when you lift a suitcase or catch a fall. Everything else is decoration on a balance ball.

Includes the complete audiobook (MP3, AI-narrated).
