HERE’S A LOT OF CHATTER

these days about “functional training.”

That is, training to help you perform

better – be it in an obstacle course race,

a CrossFit competition or the 2018

Winter Olympics. And that’s all well and

good. We like functional training.

But here’s a function for you: to look and feel

great. Sometimes that’s all you want to do, and

there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, most

of us missed our chance at qualifying for the

Olympics quite a while ago, but we can still

look like a million bucks at the beach.

If your main goal is to appear phenomenal

with your shirt off, then this is the workout

plan for you. To create it, we enlisted Abel

Albonetti, a US-based fitness model and

MuscleTech athlete. When it comes to walking

around with eye-popping muscles, Albonetti

knows what he’s talking about – look at the damn

guy – so listen up. Here’s how to train to look

like you’re carved out of stone.
