also, you're misunderstanding - or I've failed to explain - "functional strength"
it does mean functional in the sense of day-to-day life, but it's more a term defined in contrast to traditional strength training
it's not like, a diametric opposition, but functional strength would be about more than just being strong (which is cool by itself, tbc)
so like, mobility and range of motion, stability, movements that incorporate more of the body vs isolating individual muscles/muscle groups
the idea of functionality as an end unto itself, essentially
it's kind of hard to explain to someone with (no offense) like no fitness background, in a message board post, without physical demonstration
the idea of Crossfit, or similar things, is a total/holistic approach to fitness, generalization rather than specialization
but that fitness is an end unto itself, to be functionally strong/able to move will (mobility is really the cutting edge of fitness), etc
