Any sport does not only have an athlete but also a coach who is backing them up and teaching them to unlock the highest potential. Similarly,?bodybuilding also has coaches who help the bodybuilder gain the best outcome from any training or nutrition so that they can become their optimum self on stage. This sport not only demands physical performance but also mental strategic planning, and maybe coaches are needed in this individual sport as well.

Jay Cutler recently shed light on his unique approach to coaching along with Milos Sarcev and manager Matt. Episode 93 of The Cutler Cast showcased the three battling over a $ 5,000 debate and talking about coaching bodybuilders.

Jay Cutler questions if coaches are necessary in bodybuilding

During the podcast, the 4-time Mr. Olympia asked Sarcev if coaches are really important for bodybuilding. He cited his era when people did not have coaches but did have a ?nutritionist?. Milos was quick to question Cutler about his coach.

Cutler quickly narrated that Chris Aceto was like a brother to him and more of an advisor or nutritionist than a coach. At the end of the day, Cutler was the one who made his decisions regarding fitness. Milos also agreed that he never had a coach. Cutler then asked Sarcev, ?Why does every pro pretty much need a coach??

The IFBB pro gave a simple answer stating, ?In every sport, you have coaches, no? So why wouldn’t you have here?? He also discussed consultation and gave an example of Max Charles. Cutler continued, ?Do you ever but heads, you know some people aren’t coachable, right? Do you ask their opinion?? Sarcev agreed and relayed that Max had arguments with him regarding subjects related to his training and nutrition. They even split up due to the disagreements! However, a coach is both a teacher and a friend, so even in disagreements there is teamwork. Just like Cutler questioned the requirement of coaches in modern bodybuilding, Lee Priest also questioned the same.

Lee Priest talks about coaches in bodybuilding

Priest talked on Fouad Abiad Media?s?YouTube channel, and Milos Sarcev was present in the podcast. His stance regarding this revolves around his faith in the capability of bodybuilders to understand their bodies and make informed decisions.

He argues that, while coaches can be a second pair of observing eyes and provide guidance, they may not completely grasp the unique requirements of clients which leads Priest to advocate for self-coaching. He stated,??I have more faith in the bodybuilders than they do themselves.?
