Functional Bodybuilder VS CrossFit Athlete 

This man gives golden advice yet is so underrated(Appareantly if you lie and give people false hopes it's much easier to get a huge fanbase).Hopefully in the future he gains a bigger following because it's definitely deserved, glad I found this channel.

You’re definitely one of the bests out there. Great inspiration! Keep up with the good work and you’re going to be big soon. Thanks a lot man!

Appreciate you Marcus. If you are taking requests your meal prep week videos are golden

This is a testament to your ability to remain consistent to your message for years and years. Marcus is the man!

Great video, Marcus. As a former endurance athlete I do know well what It means training for a personal best or some events; in this video you gave everybody the actual picture of what that is. I'll continue to watch your videos. Thanks for your advice.

Coming from the competitive CrossFit world as well, this was beautifully done, Marcus. Awesome comparison between both training styles and the nutrition aspects. All the best!

I needed to see this after having back surgery and more than likely never going back to full blown CrossFit. As always, great content Marcus! Thank you for pointing people in a healthy direction!

This is what good content looks like.

This guy’s subscription numbers are going to sky rocket 🚀😎👍

the mental stress of competition training, ie stressing about workouts and weights and reps, really rang true for me. Been following look good move well for 3 years and I love training again. No more waking up early and being anxious about the amount of pain that was coming. thanks for saving my training life Marcus

Fascinating comparison. I appreciate how deliberate and thoughtful you are with your training and programming. Great video!

Awesome video Marcus!

You have credibility, authenticity, clear and precise communication. Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏

Love that an ex top level athlete made a video like this. So many nuances that our sport needs highlighting on. A lot of people make so many bad assumtions, but this video clarifies so many of them🙌🏾

Marcus- this was a fantastic video. I related to it very well. In general your videos are extremely motivating and relatable.

Marcus, you are such a generous man with your time and expertise. I'm always so impressed by how you balance and invest quality time with your beautiful family. I'd like to get your erg bike and workdesk setup for winter. Can you break down what it is? Thank you.

Great video. Competitive Marcus was great to watch in 2016 and FBB Marcus is still strong and now sharing fitness in different ways! super cool

The last 2 minutes are golden nuggets of advice for me as a Masters athlete who is trying to be fit and stay healthy. Not beat up myself every training session.

Loved this! More videos like this 💪🏽 love seeing revival strength in the videos

Great video!!! I would love to see you revisit more of these!

I love how much you share your thoughts and experiences. with us.

Really good content. I am so glad I found this channel through Greg Doucette.

Stumbled upon your channel, glad I did,great content.

Outstanding topic and execution of this video! Thank you for the continued education.

Informative with great production quality 🤙🏽 Thank you for this

Hey, Marcus.. Thank you for your advice.. Not a Crossfitter, just an ordinary guy trying to keep fit. Subbed!

Love the videos and love the weekly emails … wait for Friday’s to get the next tip

Love your work brother. Love from Australia.

Thanks for everything that you’re doing!!

Dont know what to think about that last workout. Very very interesting video, really nice to see you doing those and being still "as fit" as your competitive times. Still, i wonder how i would react if i train as much as today and redo a workout 5 laters and be a few seconds slower. Never thought about it and eventhough this is not the same scenario as i am not an athlete, thank you for bringing that up to my mind. Great video

Marcus trains smarter now. Building strength through full ROM and building strength in certain positions, training all muscles not just those needed for CF (example: tibialis). CF competition training is high volume and higher intensity, so it’s understandable to not be close to the levels from those times. However he actually beat some times, and those he did not were only by a few seconds which for me is nothing. In short this video proves that FBB is a way of training smarter, moving well, being injury free, maintaining good levels of fitness, but not going too intense and putting the body through too much!

Marcus your content is top-notch across the board but - and this is just my take - I might consider using a longer lens for your talking-head shots. It feels like you're up in my face juuuuuuuuuuuuust a little too close for comfort with the lens you're using now. Again, just my opinion & I'll keep watching regardless. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!

Hello! you are awesome! tell me where and how to understand the principle of creating programs for functional bodybuilding?

Great Video, i love your Content 💪

you still got it bud! id consider that a win

Marcus in my honest opinion has always been ahead of his time. His methodology and programming doesn’t come from an echo chamber of popular trends and it’s very impressive how he does the analysis himself and based off his experience, he will give his advice. Doesn’t pretend to be anything he is not and yet I don’t think enough people know about my FBB.

New subscriber . I really enjoyed your finishing words . 💪👊😊

Awesome video and music Marcus🙌

Any tips for someone that is recovering from a Microdiscectomy? Have you ever dealt with nerve pain-and how have you worked through it? What foods/supplements do you recommend to reduce inflammation?

Love the shoes. I got the same ones in organic green.

Great content!

You’re such an inspiration!!

Such great content. So glad I found your channel. Do you do this type of cardio fasted and how many times a week?

This was excellent!

Awesome video. I wondered, coincidentally with you, how crossfit athletes would face training after competition. I also wonder, in terms of being healthy, if there is one best specific training program. I hear people say cardio is most important or resistant training, and I wonder what is the benefit of having a good time in a metcon like open 15.5, for example. It must show something, right? Anyway, great video!

Awesome video! Love the content. And I've noticed that you've been wearing those shoes that simulate a barefoot feel. Could you make a video about those?

I am so ready for this💪💪

Hi Marcus. I noticed that you wear victory hand wraps for rings and pull ups. Do you have some sort of discount code for these. I generally do rings and bars and calluses are not a favourite of my wife so I think these would definitely help. Thanks. Love your videos. Al

Hey Marcus. I’ve been looking for a good pair of wireless earbuds for when I train. It seems that all the ones I buy always fall out since I sweat like a mad man when I workout. What were the buds that you were using? And how do you like them? Love your videos

you are a good dad.!

Please add time stamps.

First time watching. Nice video. Have a comment for the algorithm!

Great info Marcus! Appreciate your work. What kind of workout clothes are you wearing?

Great Videos!!

That was excellent!!

Hey Marcus, digging the clean, non-branded workout gear you're wearing. Wheres it from?

A great video. A question. What is the difference between persist Classic and Functional Body Composition? I don't know which one to choose.

Awesome video! What shoes are you wearing in the video?

Verry nice video! Can someone explain me what functional bodybuilding means?

Hey Marcus. Can you take us though a day of your training routine? How Many times per day and what kind of activity!?

awesome video!

When you think youre active.....1st of 3 sessions lmaoo. Im slacking

Those headphones looked like they stayed in well, what brand are they?

What song is that at 19:30?

A little off pace from the actual video.... but what is that monitor behind him?? Need that!

Where do you get your clothes? I've been looking for some gym stuff that isn't neon and isn't branded to the moon and back.

Marcus, what kind of training would I need to do to squat 500 and run a 5 minute mile?

I don't have any other social media so I'm going to ask on here. I worked on building my strength up for the past few months with the intention of going back to CrossFit down the road and I started hitting numbers that I was pretty happy with, but like predicted my over fitness started to deteriorate. So for the last month I would have one strength session (enough to maintain some strength or so I thought) per day along with a metcon and some conditioning. Now when I go for a heavy single on any lift I'm struggling bad with 80% of my 1RM. What the heck should I do?

Marcus what are the training shoes you are wearing? Does anyone know?

What is the song at 7:55?

Where you nervous at all to re-do your old training?

No wonder you gave this up. What a load of pointless nonsense

"ATHLETE" 😂🤣😂🤪

Crossfit 🤣
