Sadio Mane has revealed the special fitness plan that is helping him enjoy his best season at Liverpool.
Mane has scored 20 goals in all competitions this campaign - including 11 in his last 12 appearances - to become a key part of the Reds' challenge for Premier League and FA Cup glory.
And the Senegal international believes a change in approach at Melwood has been of significant benefit.

"I like to come in a little bit earlier and get some treatment," said Mane.
"I’ll always arrive earlier than report time, sometimes up to an hour before, so I can get treatment with the medical staff and then go into the gym and get myself ready for the day’s session.
"Some players do go for treatment, some don’t, it’s down to your own choice, really. Personally, I always want to feel fit, so that’s why I will always go. Even if I have a small thing, I will go to see the medical staff and tell them.
"Before, I used to struggle with this; I remember in the beginning when I was 20/22, I would feel something, but say to myself, ‘You’re fine!’ and then sometimes it would get worse.
"Now, I am not a young player anymore, I am at the top level, so if you want to be at the top, top, highest level, you always have to be 100% fit.
"You have to take care of yourself, your body, your food. It is very important. I never take anything easy, I try to look after everything."
Mane, who is preparing for his latest return to former club Southampton on Friday evening, was speaking to liverpoolfc.com discussing a typical day in his life with the Reds.
And the winger will perhaps surprise some when pinpointing the loudest and non-stop chatterbox member of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
"We have a good relationship as a squad," he said. "I have been here three years and some players have come in since and are new, but it’s like we’ve been together since my first year here. This is something that makes Liverpool special, I think.
"Who is the loudest? Robbo (Andy Robertson), always! He is always, talking. You might think he is quiet, but he is always talking, always joking, talking loudly, everything!
"Of course, training is sometimes very hard, but when it’s hard in training I think that will ultimately make things easier in a game.
"That’s why I think if we play at a high tempo, it’s difficult for any team to play against us because of the training, so we actually enjoy the intensity of it."
