A 12-week functional hypertrophy program aims to increase the lean muscle tissue mass of the athlete or client while systematically improving function and health. Functional hypertrophy is a hybrid term that comes from the athletic world and was popularized by strength and conditioning coach Charles Poliquin.

When we think of functional hypertrophy, what we're alluding to is the idea that although the end goal is to put as much lean muscle tissue on as possible, the gain in both size and strength will apply to performance and life and will not come at a detriment to movement and performance.

Training for functional hypertrophy would be similar to taking an athlete from one weight class to another while simultaneously improving performance in that athlete's sport.
