on his own Optimum Nutrition athlete JASON
POWELL, Ph.D., created a unique, pain-free training
program that really works.
JASON POWELL, 41, has many titles: model, genetics lab operator, and scholar, to name a few. But none are more important to him than gym rat. The Air Force veteran started bodybuilding in his 20s and now follows an eclectic
training program that keeps him lean year-round.
training program that keeps him lean year-round.
“Instead of four to six weeks of the same style, each session is either heavy, high volume, moderate, or dropsets,” Powell says. “I recover faster and train injury-free compared with a linear periodization routine.” Powell lifts weights five times a
week and practices martial arts four times a week. Nutrition-wise, he’s designed a custom diet plan, too. “My diet has not changed in 12 to 15 years,” he says. “I eat 48 grams of protein, 60 grams carbs, and 15 grams fat per meal.” Ever analytical, Powell urges younger guys to question convention. “There isn’t a single way to perform a lift, because range of motion is unique for everybody. Find the moves and positions that are best for your body.”
