\"p_ty1bram212\"Today we have a guest post from my mate, Tyler “the Garage Warrior” Bramlett. He is the inventor of the R.E.A.L. Functional Training Movement and has a great way to identify whether or not your training is really functional. Plus, a simple method he uses to help people start their R.E.A.L. Functional Training Journey.<\/p>\n

What Is R.E.A.L. Functional Training?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Tyler Bramlett<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard of functional training, right?<\/p>\n

Functional training is hot these days and it\u2019s definitely here to stay but I see way to many people take it way too far down the \u201cfunctional\u201d path. Here\u2019s what I mean\u2026<\/p>\n

Do you ever go the gym and see people standing on fluffy discs filled with air doing ridiculous exercises with pink bands or dumbbells? Is this real functional training?<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t remember the last time I was caught in a situation where I had to stand on an air filled disc and do side raises with a pink stretchy band. This is where most people go wrong, deciding to perform worthless \u201cfunctional\u201d exercises thinking that their doing themselves a favor.<\/p>\n

So what is real functional training? And why should you do it?<\/p>\n

If you take on serious functional training workouts, you will build an awesome looking body that looks great and performs even better! It\u2019s the true key to lasting, powerful results and don\u2019t you let anyone tell you otherwise!<\/p>\n

Real functional training is an acronym I made up to divide the lame and worthless exercises that many pseudo experts are calling \u201cfunctional\u201d from the tried and true functional training movements that we know get you great results!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what R.E.A.L. means\u2026<\/p>\n

R<\/strong>ealistic Exercises<\/em><\/p>\n

E<\/b>xecuted With Perfect Form<\/em><\/p>\n

A<\/b>t A High Intensity<\/em><\/p>\n

L<\/b>eaving You With A Body That Looks Good And Performs Even Better!<\/em><\/p>\n

This is what I hold my workout standard to and this is what I have found gets people the best results!<\/p>\n

You know you need to use real movements, that much is obvious. Shy away from single joint isolated exercises and look towards using multi-joint compound movements that resemble movements you see in real life. Pick stuff up, put it overhead and do so in a way that your body likes, which brings me to form\u2026<\/p>\n

You MUST use good form! This is even more important when practicing R.E.A.L. Functional Training when you use large compound movements there is a lot going on and you need to honor the principals of good form.<\/p>\n

Without going into great detail good form means your joints are in proper alignment, the right muscles are working to accomplish a movement and your spine remains neutral throughout each movement.<\/p>\n

Intensity is key to getting your body top react to the stimulus you just put on it. You can do functional training exercises but if you do them at a low intensity you wont get results because you wont be sending the signal to your body to adapt.<\/p>\n

The key to the proper use of intensity is to work up to it over time honoring the previous 2 principals outlined above.<\/p>\n

This all being said\u2026 If you perform real movements, with good form at a high intensity you will get awesome results!!<\/p>\n

Combine them with my PM-3 Method and you have a program that will leave you with a body that looks great and performs even better!!<\/p>\n

********************************<\/p>\n

Awesome Tyler! In order to get the best results you can\u2019t just do silly exercises that your friends or weekend certified trainers think you should be doing.<\/p>\n

Instead you should do real movements, with good form at a high intensity and the by product of working out like this is a hot body that can kick some serious butt as well!!<\/p>\n

Tyler\u2019s new program takes all of his PM-3 ideas and put them into a brand new system called The Warrior Upper Body System. It literally teaches you to go from basic bodyweight and weighted exercises all the way to complex and bad to the bone bodyweight training and hardcore weight training. It covers every exercise in great detail and includes 45 done-for-you upper body workouts! PLUS today you can get it for 74% off.<\/p>\n
