Three months prior to a professional fight Jason alters his nutritional habits to include high protein and low carbohydrate foods, which are complemented by Interactive Nutrition's L-Glutamine™, ISOWhey™ and several other Interactive Nutrition products. Three days prior to official pre-fight weigh in, he over-hydrates in order to prepare for extensive dehydration that he inflicts on himself on weigh in day. He omits all food and liquid intake for 2 days before his official weigh takes place.
Training for Jason is extreme prior to a fight. A training day begins with a 5 kilometre-run in the morning and is followed by Muay Thai training, Grappling and sparring with multiple partners, as well as weight lifting and plyometric exercises, in the afternoon. His day also includes intense cardio drills. This is repeated 6 days per week during a 2-month span and ends a week before a scheduled fight.
