Squats, deadlifts, lunges, pull ups, rows, bench press, push ups, etc., are all considered functional movement exercises. All these moves also happen to be cornerstone exercises in bodybuilding and sports strength programs. The sports strength coach might call squats knee dominant training, while the bodybuilding enthusiast may call it leg or quad training, and the powerlifter might label squats as a primary lift, but its all really the same damn thing – a squat! It just goes to show that although we may label exercises differently, there are way more similarities than differences in the foundational exercises (i.e., movements) used in all forms of weight training.
