I am definitely also a functional strength advocate, and I'm not gung ho about needing to deadlift 500 lbs or something to be athletic. I personally prefer olympic lifts, because they force you to be explosive and I'm training for a sports that involve pure speed and jumping ability. I try to do all my other lifts explosively too. And I can't stand the dudes on their phone in the gym -- I can tell I make them uncomfortable even with the relentlessness of my workouts!
