“Bro Tells Hulk to Shut Up”: Jay Cutler’s Resurfaced Video of Quad Stomps Still Wins Bodybuilding World

In 2009, the bodybuilding world overlooked former champion Jay Cutler leading up to the Mr. Olympia contest. Dexter Jackson, Branch Warren, and Phil Heath were among the favorites, but Cutler made an epic comeback. With just one move, Cutler showed judges and bodybuilding fans the improvements he made in one year. Even today, fans are in awe of Cutler’s iconic quad stomp.

Jay Cutler became the only bodybuilder to avenge a loss at the Mr. Olympia contest. After placing second to Ronnie Coleman for four years in a row, Cutler finally won the Mr. Olympia title in 2006. Many believed the underdog’s era had begun. After winning the title twice, Cutler lost against Dexter Jackson in 2008. However, the former champion was determined to win back his title.

The move that etched his name in bodybuilding history

In December 2022, a video of Mr. Olympia’s iconic quad stomp resurfaced on Instagram. The video shows the former champion showing off his quads before hitting the abdominals and legs pose. With the stomp, Cutler revealed every fiber of his quadriceps muscles. While striking the pose, the former champion stood beside the man who dethroned him, Dexter Jackson.

In 2009, the underdog surprised everyone when he walked on stage and looked bigger than ever. However, he also brought insane conditioning. Many still believe it was the best Cutler had ever looked. His iconic move showed the fans that he had built an unbeatable package. While Dexter Jackson and Branch Warren gave Cutler a run for his money, he reclaimed the Mr. Olympia title.
