In the early minutes of the YouTube video posted on August 9th, the bodybuilding legends could not help but broach the topic of the upcoming competition, acknowledging that it was just 13 weeks away. The Quad Stomper also teased the Serbian coach that he might win “coach of the year.” However, the fitness icons did not take the name of the mentee, as if afraid they might jinx it. Furthermore, Sarcev says that he is “convinced that it might happen” as he is “super committed” and “zero in on the prize.” The mindful coach, who takes a scientific approach to training, then tosses a compliment at Cutler. 

“Okay, you competed before you dethroned unbeatable Ronnie Coleman. So if anybody would tell you back in the day, are you out of your mind? What are you gonna say?” quizzed Sarcev. “It’s kind of funny that people’s thought process or predictions or assumption is like, well, so and so placed X last year, so that means automatically they’re going to be there or they’re going to move,” said the Comeback Kid.
