Do you feel that isolated exercises are still valid with functional training?

Yes. The major muscle groups should always be trained. Isolation training does this best. It provides for a strong base to work off of. But the other is just as, if not more, important to overall strength and reduction and prevention of injury. You would not expect a tall building, although it may be made of solid concrete, to hold up very well if they did not put the reinforcing rods in the mix as it was built? The body is the same way, and functional training is the what keeps the connectors strong and the rest held together.
