“Critical Component”: Jacked 4x Mr. Olympia A.K.A., Quad Stomper, After Crushing His “Fit for 50” Goal, Shares Three Secrets to Muscle Recovery

The bodybuilding arena witnessed an epic face-off in the 2000s between Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman.

Later, Culter secured three more Sandow trophies before retiring in 2013. The 50-year-old then focused on the business side of the sport and started his bodybuilding newsletter, Jaymail.
