Sitting at 8 weeks out from Record Breakers and I don't think I have ever felt this good physically before whilst competing at a high level in powerlifting. Now don't get me wrong I have aches and pains but my capacity to train and recover is through the roof. The main reason for this is the addition of Aerobic Conditioning. My next post I will go into the benefits of it but for now, I just wanted to present to what I am currently doing for conditioning. I go into some more detail about its benefits in my latest article https://www.elitefts.com/education/improve-your-recovery-with-these-5-things/
