Mohamed Salah\'s rigorous training methods continue powering his Premier League dominance well into his thirties, sources reveal following his historic third PFA Players\' Player award. The 33-year-old Liverpool forward\'s comprehensive preparation routine has enabled him to maintain peak performance levels despite his advancing age.
The 33-year-old Egyptian secured the prestigious honor just four days after netting his first goal of the new campaign against Bournemouth. His performances last season were instrumental in Liverpool\'s title challenge, contributing 29 goals and 18 assists across all competitions.
Salah\'s Rigorous Training Regimen Behind Success
Salah\'s longevity stems from an intensive preparation routine that began during his time at Roma. He converted two rooms of his home into a comprehensive training facility, complete with cryotherapy equipment and a hyperbaric chamber for enhanced recovery.
The Liverpool star maintains a strict nutritional plan, avoiding gluten and limiting dairy intake while focusing on lean proteins and vegetables. His disciplined approach extends to advising teammates on their dietary choices, recently counseling young Harvey Elliott about healthier bread alternatives.
Former teammate Daniel Sturridge praised Salah\'s consistency on Sky Sports, while ex-Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher described it as an \"all-time season.\" The Egyptian\'s durability is remarkable - he started every Premier League game last season and has missed just 10 league matches in six and a half seasons at Anfield.
\"What Mo is doing season in, season out is ridiculous. It\'s mind-blowing,\" Sturridge told Sky Sports.
Salah\'s tactical evolution under new manager Arne Slot has seen him operate from deeper positions, creating more space for his devastating runs. Despite making fewer off-ball movements, his efficiency has increased significantly, generating 2.5 shots per game from movement - his highest rate since 2018-19.
Sports performance expert Dr Ben Rosenblatt attributes Salah\'s sustained excellence to his comprehensive approach combining physical conditioning, breathwork, and tactical awareness. The Egyptian\'s peak sprint velocity last season reached 31.1 km/h, his highest recorded speed.
In the book Chasing Salah, author Simon Hughes writes that someone who had worked with Salah on his recovery says he is “a machine… a freak”.
