Hard conditioning or more lifting?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been able to fit 3 lifting sessions the last couple of weeks. Sometimes I can fit an extra day but wondering if its better spent doing hard conditioning. I don’t really have hard conditioning goals, I’m 32 and just trying to look good and continue making some strength gains. Just curious how other people approach their training.

PD: I do perform 2-3 easy conditioning sessions per week

I think you’d benefit from adding a hard conditioning workout every 7-10 days. You could replace one of your easy conditioning workouts with it.

If you are looking for examples, the Tactical Barbell II: Conditioning book has a lot of great workouts to choose from. They range from track workouts, to KB workouts, to Airdyne or similar.

Another option is to check out example WODs from CF.

Personally, I don’t think adding another lifting session is ideal if your goals are to look good and have a more well-rounded fitness level and physique.
