Best exercises for functional strength ?

[wengerout5]

I was curious to know what you guys thought on functional strength workouts. What would you recommend ?

if you did just functional strength workouts they are much harder than the typical meathead workout of bench press and hammer strength.

problem is many gyms don't have the proper equipment for that and the ones that do like cross fit gyms ONLY have those.. really i'm a big believer in doing all of the above

Hammering a tire is pretty damned cool.

Well I think every possible training program should be based around those movements.

Squats, deadlifts, different presses, pull ups, push ups, lunges, burpees, rows and so on.

All of this

I am a big fan of variety in your training but it also depends on your goals.
