Do lots and lots of ‘Pec-Deck’ and Tricep Kickbacks. As an added bonus you can borrow Mikey’s ‘Thigh-Master’ and ‘Shake Weight’, do them at every available opportunity… 💪

I used to compete carrying 9 gallon barrels but preferred to carry the larger barrels which I think are probably 50 litres because they'd bash my knees about less. These are filled with water or beer so 9 gallons is not all that much more than 5 gallons of sand. There's a knack to "heavier" farmers walks though where you have to move your hand at the same time as the leg on that side, bear walking or whatever, it's still a good exercise but probably certain muscles don't work as hard (per step). I went to see a big strongman show last month and they carried something similar to the Dinnie stones but a bit lighter. There were guys from all over the world taking part and you could tell after the first two steps what ones had practiced for the even and what ones hadn't because of the way they walked.

So, now you're adding "functional fitness"? That's not the discussion. Hows 'bout you splain it to me, Lucy? Yes, 'fitness' can be 'functional' as well.... but your minds already made up and you "have nothing new to add", so no worries, m8. Yes, fitness can be functional since "fitness" means "appropriate to an application", but strength is always functional.
Your "case in point" was about functional training, not strength. Functional training to produce more strength can be called "strength training", but .... Strength is just strength, and it functions. "Functional strength" is a redundancy. There is no such thing as non-functional strength. That would be an oxymoron, like saying that the polarity of an electrical connection is "negative positive".

Yes, 'vernacular' A vernacular or vernacular language is in contrast with a "standard language". It refers to the language or dialect that is spoken by people that are inhabiting a particular country or region. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VernacularIt was a joke. I was making a joke. I know what vernacular means. Do try to keep up, m8.

….and please keep something in mind Mikey, m8. That while you may not understand the concept of ‘functional strength’ it doesn’t make you a bad person 🤓

High five, bro! Good, functional workout, which will no doubt build or maintain strength as one of its benefits, I'm sure. Good for you!

It’s a simple concept, maybe this will sway you into understanding?… www.muscleandfitness.com/flexonline/training/8-compound-moves-building-functional-strength/ Yes, it IS simple. "Functional" strength is just strength. The gym-bros needed a new woke buzz word to sound like they had found a New! and Improved! kind of strength (JP tried to create his own new and improved buzz word phrase with "the right kind of muscle"). It sells articles, but, according to those very same articles, it doesn't mean any more or any differently than "strength" has meant since man has been talking about building strength. If you go through that "Muscle and Fitness" article, remove the word "functional" from every reference to "functional strength", every sentence in the article would have exactly the same meaning and convey exactly the same strength building advice. It would change absolutely nothing that the article is saying.
Why? Because ALL strength IS functional. It would, in fact, still be only about "strength training, "building strength", "functional training", "functional exercise" and "functional fitness", giving advice on exercises that will build strength, just as those same exercises have done since physical culture became popular, or maybe for ....... ? ..... I dunno, decades?, centuries?, BEFORE anyone had created the new woke bro-term "functional" strength label. Since they had nothing new to say, they made up a new term "functional strength" to sound like they had some special new knowledge to share, but they don't, by their own admission in context. I also clicked the hot-link labeled " functional strength" near the beginning of the article hoping to see what their definition of "functional" strength is. Aha, ha, ha! Surprise and chuckle! It's an article about "functional FITNESS", nothing at all about "functional" strength. Why? Because they know that there is no strength that is not functional. I also found an entire website ("functionalstrength.org" I think it was) about "functional" strength ............... only problem with it is they just use the word "functional" for spice(?) I guess, because the site is all about exercise to build muscle and increase strength and every time they start to talk about strength being "functional", it's never about that. Instead, it's about how to increase strength and build muscle with exercise. Why? Because, ALL STRENGTH IS FUNCTIONAL. There is no "specific, unique" strength that needs to be labeled as functional. It makes no sense.

Hope no one tears a bicep doing 5 gallon bucket walks. Welp… years back when I earned my keep by doing heavy manual labor for a living, I do remember a time or two witnessing a visually jacked “gym bro” newly hired employee show up for work first thing in the morning, all psyched up and ready to go. Only thing was you could clearly see they were struggling a short time into actually performing the work because they hadn’t built the ‘right kind of strength’, meaning almost zero in what’s called ‘muscle endurance’ to complement their formidable low rep max traditional ‘gym strength’. They were also much more susceptible to getting hurt with muscle tears etc. because while they had big ‘gym’ muscles they had very little of what we used to call ‘sinew strength’, or more precisely tendon and ligament strength. Ever see some relatively thin but ‘wiry’ looking person that when called for can display strength levels that you might never suspect they had when first looking at them ?…YES, there’s different types of strength.
