James Milner stole the headlines in every pre-season under Jurgen Klopp in the lactate test.
However, there is a new star under new head coach Arne Slot after Mohamed Salah shone under the Dutchman.
For years, the notorious programme measured the player's aerobic endurance as participants are asked to run a series of increasing distances at great speeds
At the end of each checkpoint a sample of blood is taken from each player's ear to measure their lactic acid level.
If the level is too high, they must drop out until there is only one player left.
With Klopp's departure, the gruelling regime also followed suit and was replaced by the Six-Minute Race Test (6MRT).
The exam lasts for six minutes around a 400m race track - designed to go as fast as possible and cover between 1.5 and 2km.
Sepp van den Berg, who spent last season on loan in Germany at Bundesliga side FSV Mainz, charted impressive scores early on topping the standings
However, The Athletic have reported that Salah eclipsed the Dutch defender, covering more ground than any of his Liverpool teammates.
Salah is showing why he is ‘The Egyptian King’
