Built For Life: Functional Bodybuilding is an 8-week training program designed to build muscle while maintaining athleticism, movement quality, and durability. This program is for people who want to look strong, move well, and train with purpose—without sacrificing performance or beating up their bodies.

Functional Bodybuilding combines hypertrophy-focused strength training with unilateral work, controlled tempos, and smart progressions. The goal is to build muscle that supports real-world performance, not just aesthetics. Every phase is structured, progressive, and grounded in sound training principles rather than fitness trends.
