Jay Cutler, the 4x Mr. Olympia champion, and a bodybuilding beast who has recently turned 50 on August 3. The champ was constantly sharing his experience and wisdom he procured during the 12-week transformation program, ‘Fit for 50.’ Moreover, the Quad-stomp poser has unquestionably worked his way to be hailed as the epitome of power. A month before Jay turned 50, he and Matt Daniels called in Milos Sarcev for a podcast at the Cutlercast.
Thus, Greg Doucette, an IFBB pro, and a YouTube sensation with 1.93 million subscribers questioned Jay Cutler’s cardio workout regimen and if Cutler is a fit for Men’s Physique Competition. Doucette markedly orates about Jay’s dialogue with the bodybuilding veteran, Sarcev, who has trained Samson Dauda, Regan Grimes, Logan Franklin, and many more.

Doucette took the plunge and started off the monologue by mentioning Jay’s cardio routine. He said, “Jay Cutler recently increases his cardio from doing 40 minutes in the morning to an hour.” The IFBB pro coach went on to convey that the amount of cardio Cutler has added to his workout routine, which is 140 mins per week, is almost similar to what he preaches. Moreover, the internet sensation affirmed how zone two cardio is better than sprints, as it’s a lot easier at the joints.
Furthermore, Greg vocalized the 245 pounds weight of Jay Cutler, which bestows him with a tough choice of whether he wanted to plump for a bigger look or a shredded one. If a bodybuilder wants to get shredded, they won’t embody fullness and thus, he quotes, “The leaner you get, the lower your body fat, the less swole you’re gonna look.” According to the Cutlercast, Jay Cutler is currently at 5% of body fat.
Doucette further added, “I would rather do cardio than starve myself the whole day because when you do cardio, it lowers the genetic set point and allows you to eat that many more calories.” Hence, the Guinness World Record holder makes a hunch that Cutler must be burning 1000 calories a day, and consequently, he burns two pounds of fat a week, which is losing over 10% of the body fat if calculated on a 12-week cycle.
Adding significance to the conversation, Milos Sarcev goes on to ask Jay Cutler, “Do you want to be a Jay Cutler who is more full and less shredded or do you want to be a Jay Cutler who is more shredded but little bit smaller?” It was a plain-sailing question forsooth. To this rebuttal, Jay Cutler said, “I wanna be a lot leaner because the shoulders aren’t coming.” Nevertheless, Milos mentioned that Jay is already 245 and he should be increasing his weight to 250 pounds. For more mature and wise individuals like Milos Sarcev, it’s pointless for Jay Cutler to carry 5% of the body fat when he is retired.
Fans want a fuller and bigger Jay Cutler
Now, when the Quad-stomp poser is in his 50s, he is in a dilemma, whether to have a body size that is leaner and shredded or a bigger, fuller, monster-like look. Withal, the best way for a bodybuilder to identify which look is better, is to ask fans. Thus, in the case of Jay Cutler, as Matt Daniels quoted, “They want to see a more rounded and fuller look and not as shredded would be a better option.”

As Greg Doucette sums it up, it isn’t for regular or normal people to have that less percentage of body fat. Instead, fans would like 10% of the body fat as it looks healthier, especially when the bodybuilder is not up for any competition at the age of 50.
