Functional Training and Beyond: Building the Ultimate Superfunctional Body and Mind (Building Muscle and Performance, Weight Training, Men's Health)

I read the book in two days as I just wanted to explore more and more. Using the examples of super human feats of both physical and mental. The book highlights and gives the benifits/limitations of many types of training. It goes into the detail around how the mind and body work in a deep but clear way to the relate this to how we can become stronger and more agile whilst having the stamina to see things through to the end. On seeing things through to the make sure you finish the book as about 3/4 of the way through I couldn't think of how to program all this as it's so vast and varied but Adam does a good job of pulling it all together and suggesting how to find where is best for each individual reading. If you want to be told exactly how to do things in which order and by how much you are kind of missing the point of this book. It's about exploring ones potential and finding weak spots to strengthen to be a more rounded super functional human to In turn be able to handle more of lifes challenges and ultimately be ready for anything and enjoy it more in the process.

Anyone familiar with The Bioneer’s excellent YouTube channel will recognise much of what is contained in this book. Plenty of solid information on a broad range of exercises that can be used to inspire and develop your own personal fitness journey.I recently started lunging into the kitchen from my bedroom for coffee number one of the day and feel this attempt to wake myself up whilst strengthening knees and improving balance must have been inspired by some part of this book or perhaps an older video. If not outright stolen. Slow, gradual changes to my routines have definitely come from Adam’s work.For me though, the value of owning the book is mainly twofold:1. My own increased ability to find the information I want through flicking through a book rather than fast forwarding through a few online videos.2. The inclusion of 29 typographical errors in this first edition. The deliberate misspelling of real names, missing superscripts, flipped homophones and other sneakily included errors really adds to the book (and channel’s) partial focus on brain training. A nice added bonus brain building exercise!

Adam Sinicki aka "The Bioneer" on Youtube, is a very interesting fitness/training person and this book builds upon that. "Functional Training and Beyond" challenges the boundaries in what one can regard as fitness literature, but in a good way, by pushing the readers perception of training and fitness.This is not a book in the dime a dozen category of "do this and get fit in thirty days" but a proper read to digest in small amounts, at least I needed to stop and think about what I just read quite frequently.Highly recommended.

Not a manual for working out, but rather a Collection of ideas that will bring value to everyone who wants to enhance their fitness in general.

So much information has been put into this book. Adam really knows his stuff and you can tell that he is passionate about it too. I really think this should be read by anyone who is at any stage on the fitness spectrum. There is something for everyone.I also recommend that people go to thebioneer.com and read Adam's blogs and if you can buy his Superfunctional training program. The program goes together really nicely with this book and offers some great stuff. It has been life changing for me, not only in fitness, but in my approach to work and life in general.

If you enjoy the Bioneer on YouTube and fancy a geek out about other functional training this is a great read - very broad. His passion for the subject is motivating and his humble Britishness is charming. Knows his stuff and level of discipline is inspiring.

I been following Adam Sinicki YouTube for years now so I might be bias. This book is a must read for anyone interested on how training effects your body and mind(chemically). He does not push his ideals on you, but tries to explain his point of view from a scientific perspective. Its one of those books you will read multiple time and every time you do you will get a deeper understanding on what he is talking about.

I thoroughly enjoyed Functional training, it has given me many ideas to incorporate into my training program to keep it challenging and interesting. Adams Youtube channel is also excellent. Great stuff.
