Bodybuilding Fans React to Jay Cutler and German Bodybuilding Icon’s Throwback Image: “What a Beast”

Jay Cutler, the bodybuilding veteran with four Olympia titles and three Arnold Classic titles, often turns back the clock to showcase moments from his prime with fans. In a similar fashion, Cutler recently shared a post with the German IFBB Pro bodybuilder Günter Schlierkamp from when they competed on the IFBB stage.

German bodybuilders from the 90s were built differently; they used to be walking beasts. Most had massive frames with enormous arms and gigantic backs. In the post, both bodybuilders looked absolutely shredded while posing at the gym. The picture seemed to be from around 1998, when people solely relied on magazines to witness such exceptional pictures.

When it came to well-developed abs, the German bodybuilder triumphed over the Quadstomp. But the four-time Mr. Olympia took over when it came to vascularity and traps. The separation lines on both bodybuilders’s chests did justice to their chests and made them look exceptionally well-developed.

More than the physique, the real show-stopper was the clothes the duo was wearing. Their denim shorts stole the show. Cutler mentioned the same in his caption, writing, “Blonde Hair Shades Jorts.” He further highlighted his bond with the German bodybuilder, writing, “@gunterschlierkamp and I went hard AF on this one guys!” On top of that, in what might be exciting news for fans, the Mr. Olympia added a new hashtag to his post, “#flashbackfriday.” This might be an indication that one could get to see such exciting and unseen images from Cutler every Friday.

After coming across the picture, fans showcased their love for both the bodybuilders, praising their fashion sense and shredded physique. 

The post makes fans recall the 90s era

An Instagram user was impressed by the four-time Sandow Trophy winner’s jorts and wanted 90s era fashion to return. “Bring back cut off jeans, head bands, slouch socks for big calves of course,” they wrote. Another commented on the immense strength the German bodybuilder held and wrote, “Saw Gunter a few times at fibo …what a beast.” An Instagram user named them “two of the all-time great bodybuilders.“

A bodybuilding enthusiast mentioned the picture being from 1998 and highlighted the era of classic bodybuilding writing. “It’s 1998 . No social media no message boards yet ( maybe getbig ) . Had to wait for the magazines eagerly each month . Great times here. Good olds days.” A fan of classic bodybuilding shared, “If it were color wouldn’t even match the impact of this one.“

The post impressed the classic bodybuilding fans who loved big, massive physiques. Are you also one of them? Let us know in the comments.
