The competitive sport of bodybuilding is more about the size and conditioning of your physique, rather than what weights you are lifting. 4X Mr. Olympia winner Jay Cutler too agrees with this notion. This is one of the many reasons why despite believing that he has weaker biceps than many other athletes, he focused on building their size.

According to him, Cutler cannot pull as much weight as other elite bodybuilders, but he believes that size matters a lot. The eventual goal is to set your position on the stage, and well, looks like he got that for himself. Recently Cutler revealed the secret to getting biceps as big as his.
