How Elite MMA Fighters Build Endurance, Strength & Recovery Without Burning Out | Bo Sandoval

In this episode of the Judd Lienhard Podcast, Judd sits down with Bo Sandoval, former Director of Strength & Conditioning at the UFC Performance Institute and current professor at Texas A&M, to break down how elite fighters are really trained behind the scenes — and why most people misunderstand conditioning, recovery, and endurance. Bo shares insights from training world champions, Olympians, and professional fighters across multiple weight classes. The conversation covers why fundamentals matter more than flashy workouts, how fighters gas out due to poor energy system development, and why most athletes do too much at the wrong time. 📲 Try my training app with a FREE 7-day trial: 👉 https://www.juddlienhard.com/ Get immediate access to over a year’s worth of structured programming, including leg-focused, full body, bodyweight, minimal-equipment, and strength-focused workouts—built around the same principles you see in this video.

This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for MMA fighters, coaches, trainers, tactical athletes, strength and conditioning professionals, and anyone trying to improve endurance, recovery, and overall performance.
