About funcorexy

Strength training without the guesswork. funcorexy is an independent, reader-supported publication dedicated to helping you build real, functional strength — safely and sustainably.

Who this site is for

funcorexy is written for anyone who lifts, whether you’re a beginner learning the barbell basics or an experienced lifter looking to break through a plateau. We focus on:

• Lifters who want results — not just gym lore. You’ll find evidence-based progressions, not fluff.
• People recovering from mistakes — poor form, overtraining, or chasing numbers at the cost of joints. We break down what went wrong and how to fix it.
• Busy adults who need efficient, effective programs that fit into real life, not a six-hour training day.

We don’t sell supplements, promote extreme diets, or pretend that one “secret” exercise will transform you overnight. Instead, we give you the tools to train smarter, avoid common pitfalls, and stay consistent.

Topics we cover

Every article on funcorexy is built around a problem-solution framework. We identify a specific strength-training mistake or challenge, then walk you through the fix. Our core topics include:

• Compound lifts — squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press, and their variations. Technique breakdowns, common errors, and cues that actually work.
• Program design — how to structure your week, manage volume and intensity, and periodize for long-term progress without burnout.
• Injury prevention & recovery — identifying early warning signs, addressing mobility gaps, and training around discomfort (not through pain).
• Nutrition for strength — practical eating strategies that support performance and recovery, without dogma.
• Mindset & consistency — how to stay motivated when progress stalls, and how to build habits that last.

Our editorial standards

Trust is everything in strength training — bad advice can set you back months or cause injury. That’s why we follow strict editorial guidelines:

• We verify facts. Every claim about biomechanics, physiology, or programming is checked against peer-reviewed research or credible, experienced coaches. We link to sources where possible.
• We update when practices change. Strength science evolves. When new evidence emerges or a common recommendation shifts, we revise older articles and clearly note the update date.
• We never invent credentials. You won’t find fake “Dr.” titles or made-up expert bios. Our authors write from real coaching and lifting experience, and we’re transparent about who we are.
• We correct mistakes. If we get something wrong, we fix it publicly and promptly. Email us at [email protected] — we read every message.

Our mission in one sentence

funcorexy exists to help you lift heavier, move better, and stay injury-free — by showing you what not to do, and what to do instead.
