Ditto. Though definitely high intermediate/advanced. Not that an intermediate couldn't attempt it but too much modification might be demoralizing.

So you DO consider body weight to be in the functional catagory? Is it functional becasue it mimics life, or helps you in functions of life (better body movement. or more correct body movement etc..

I myself consider body weight workouts to be functional. I find that body weight exercises mimic real world movements. For me, body weight exercises cause me the least amount of training injuries with the most amount of strength gains. I pushups, pullups, squats, planks. All very functional movements, which come in handy when doing real world-things, such as carrying grocery bags, climbing stairs, etc.

Grr.. I had the Wider/Walmart set and traded it away. I love "least amt. of training injuries"

Thankyou all for your answers/ideas/suggestions!!
