Still, Kylie didn’t want Jason to change too much.
“I was working out the other day,” he recalled on an October episode of the Centered on Buffalo podcast. “Kylie’s like, ‘If you get a six-pack, I will be furious.’ I’m like, ‘All right, I guess that’s not happening.'”
What was happening, however, was a friendly competition between Jason and former teammate Beau Allen over who could lose the most body fat percentage while still gaining muscle.
“This is why you’re still playing football,” the 37-year-old told Travis on a March episode of New Heights, “because when you retire, you have to do stupid competitions like this to keep your sanity.”
As for the stakes, Jason—who noted he was starting at 276.6 pounds with 21 percent body fat—said the loser of the competition had to get a bikini wax and wear a speedo to the Eagles Autism Foundation fundraiser that June. And when Beau was declared the victor, Jason stayed true to his word.
“I, over the course of this whole thing, ended up losing close to 3 percent body fat and I lost right around nine or 10 pounds of fat,” Jason said on a July episode of the podcast, explaining that he gained no muscle while Beau lost 2 percent body fat and gained four pounds of muscle. “So ultimately, we’re both winners in my book, but I definitely was the loser of the bet.”
