Quick read
Justin Gaethje disclosed on the Joe Rogan podcast that he does not drink water during training, including during intense conditioning work, preferring to hydrate only before and after sessions. His trainer Trevor Whitman confirmed the habit, noting that during Gaethje's five-round fight with Tony Ferguson he deliberately withheld water between rounds in keeping with Gaethje's routine. Gaethje said water during training is for the weak and that staying thirsty keeps him focused.
