In this episode, Anthony breaks down how to actually train your energy systems, including the aerobic, glycolytic, and phosphagen system, using real physiological principles, not guesswork. You’ll learn how to program conditioning that builds performance, not just burns calories.

We cover:

• How to structure your conditioning across accumulation, intensification, and realization phases
• The exact methods for each system (cardiac output, tempo intervals, glycolytic intervals, alactic power work, and more)
• How to manage CNS load and stress so you’re not crushing recovery
• How to integrate all three systems into a conjugate-style structure that drives year-round progress

If you’ve ever felt lost on how to program conditioning, this is your blueprint.
