Fit for whatever life throws at you. That's one of the reasons why I don't believe in maxing out on the reps and weights or training to failure or wearing myself out with constant intervals. I don't want to be in a recovery mode for the next 2-3 days unable to function properly because of pain, DOMS and that tired feeling that people get after training very hard. I train in such a way that I don't need to be in a recovery mode for the next few days. Don't train for pain, train to prevent pain.
