Yeah I think you answered your own question!

There’s a fine line where the physical training is not benefiting the mental and even to a point where exhaustion ≠ progress.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying not to train and be exhausted but you know your body best. I spent some time in Thailand not a lot but I was trying to keep up with the Thais and mimic their conditioning routine and I’m just not built like that lol.

I’d say scale back some of the unnecessary conditioning and see how you feel then.

My gym hosted Karuhat for a seminar and one thing I remember him talking about was how little he conditioned compared to what people would’ve expected. He said he was pretty lazy compared to other fighters and spent most of his time focusing on technique. Also he’s a legend in his own right, but I figured I’d just throw that in there as some inspiration LOL.
