My main issue is, you could break each of these wacky exercises down back into their basic form and illicit a better training response as you're able to over load them more using more weight. If trunk stability is the aim then yes they're helpful. but making every exercise more technically difficult isnt exactly going to make a freak. You'll just get a very stable weak person.

Man is looking like Dwight Schrute with that no warm-up sprint

Joel's thought process. "Is it functional? Yes. Good, but does it look weird? No? Toss it"

Kids, don’t try any of this at home. Take advantage of your youth and build with the basics.

Joel Seedman is like the villain whose intentions were initially good, but something tragic happened and he lost his mind.  I bought his 3x/week program and did it for like 3 months.  I honestly got strong af. But I had problems trying to defend him because of what you said. His speaking in absolutes about everything, acting like he's the expert in every field of s&c, and his just poor ability to explain why he does what he does. This is the best critique video I've seen of him

The banded snatches freaking kill me, man. I swear he does it just to troll people

Functional is domain-specific.

Functional is a buzzword especially thanks to CrossFit. Athletes of different sports have varying skills/strengths. The real question is if a training movement will help on the big stage

"this is the craziest exercise I've ever done" is how every caption of every post from Joel's page. He's also never performed the same exercise twice. Not even for a follow up set.

You know when you don't realize that you've always wanted something until you see it?
That's this video👍👍

Based upon his running I doubt he played sports growing up. I thought it was a joke and done in a weird way on purpose....

I appreciate how you’re making an effort to be humble and positive about a controversial figure in the field. It’s gracious of you.

Joel has nuggets of interesting stuff, but the way he approaches training in absolutes, mixed with some of the really silly and absurd movements, seems to cancel out anything good he does.
he combines too many movements with too many pieces of equipment for no good reason, all whilst forgetting what the "limiting factor" of the movement should be.
he also advocates AGAINST full ROM as a blanket statement. which is just silly.
I honestly think he was just an average athlete in these disciplines and tried to use "science" to defend his lack of success/ego

For some reason, to me, this video feels perfectly uploaded at the right time. Seedman has had some works and critiques in the last few years popping up. Not many have actually dissected it this way and explained it so well. Thank you.

Sometimes even snake oil has a couple good ingredients. Love this channel, anchored in science and proven methods but open minded.  Killer content.

Never watched any of your videos but can tell you genuinely love this stuff and you gave credit where it's due. Cool guy

You know what's functional? Being strong.

Intelligent, articulated, providing valuable information, and many more. Subscribed. I wish you have more following, sir.

Hey Coach! Great video! Fair and balance. I've been following both you here on YouTube and Instagram for while. I have a basic question for that I've asked Seedman a couple times in the past but I've never gotten an answer, which is why is it that he always has his training athletes performance/ or execute all his movements only 3 times? And why not more or why not less???
