Summary
This episode's guest is Marcus Filly, Founder and Owner of Functional-Bodybuilding. Marcus was a med school student who decided to pursue a different type of a health career, instead of the traditional medicine route -- that career path was fitness! He left med school to become a coach and open a gym, which led him to becoming a 6x CrossFit Games Competitor and eventually to becoming one of the most well known fitness influencers in the world.
When ending his CrossFit Athletic Journey, he began to train for recovery, better movement, and body composition -- which birthed what we now know as Functional Bodybuilding. THAT STORY right there, is what we get into today. You're going to learn why he created Functional Bodybuilding, who he created it for, how it's evolved over time, and how to implement it for yourself!
You can follow Marcus Filly and Functional Bodybuilding on YouTube, Instagram, and their Website.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the tailored life podcast, the one and only fitness and nutrition |
| 0:09.8 | podcast that goes way beyond just training and nutrition and helps you create a life by design. |
| 0:15.6 | I'm your host, Cody McBroom, and today we have the one and only Marcus Philly, the founder |
| 0:20.5 | and creator of functional |
| 0:21.8 | bodybuilding. Functional bodybuilding is a term you have probably heard me say, you've probably |
| 0:26.8 | heard other podcasters say, and other coaches say you've seen it all over Instagram. It is probably |
| 0:30.8 | one of the greatest terms or names to trademark and put behind your company, which I've told him |
| 0:36.0 | multiple times because this is round two that we've had him on the podcast. We had him shit years ago now. And so for him |
| 0:42.7 | coming back on was really cool because the company has grown so much and functional |
| 0:46.2 | bodybuilding has not only become this word or this type of training in this philosophy and this |
| 0:51.7 | method that so many people use, but it's also been this |
| 0:55.3 | company that he has built in this foundation that he has built over time, and it is being used |
| 0:59.2 | all over the world. It's being used in gyms. It's being used online. It's being used in social |
| 1:02.7 | media and his e-books, tons and tons of stuff. And the idea behind it is really cool. And that's |
| 1:08.5 | what we're going to dive in today. We're going to dive into the story and the idea behind it is really cool. And that's what we're going to dive in today. We're going to dive into the story and the origin behind functional bodybuilding, |
| 1:13.2 | how he came up with it, what functional bodybuilding is all about, |
| 1:16.9 | the step-by-step system or structure or method that you use to program using functional |
| 1:22.4 | bodybuilding and really just how this all kind of was this evolution over time, right? |
| 1:28.2 | Going back to when he owned gyms and then became a CrossFit Games athlete and then kind of left the scene and started doing more of his own |
| 1:35.5 | training style on social media, so on and so forth. |
| 1:37.7 | So I think you're going to get a lot out of this not only because I haven't heard many podcasts that dive into his story. |
| 1:43.4 | And I don't think he's personally |
