Who needs Conditioning?

I truly hate cardio with a passion, but like most of us we will benefit from it in our program. Most weekend warriors that I know not only want to get jacked but would also like to be healthy. Believe it or not, there comes a time in some people’s lives at which being healthy enough to play with their kids takes precedence over max-effort deadlifts! For these people, I recommend incorporating 2-3 days a week of “cardio” - or some kind of conditioning.

Did you know that the right GPP (general physical preparation) will enhance your overall program?
Your overall fitness state determines how well nutrients pass through your system and how fast your recovery process will be. If you’re not recovering, you’re not making the gains you should be.
The important thing to note is that this type of training needs to enhance the overall strength program, not take away from it. Too many people go nuts, adding in 300 extra sessions per week, and their strength takes a dive.


So with this in mind, were looking at

• Increased physical state
• Better cardiovascular fitness
• Faster strength gains
• Better recovery
• Lower body fat levels
• Bring on weak points
• Better mental state

So what do I do?
