I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is in really good form' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'with before two ideally' is the wordplay.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'before two' becomes 'ones' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ideally' becomes 'atbest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ones' inserted within 'atbest' is 'AT ONES BEST'.
