Jay Cutler recently spoke on athletes holding extra weight when they are not competing.
Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler has found many different ways to share his knowledge and passion for bodybuilding, and fitness as a whole. Recently, he spoke on athletes and how their looks can change once they are done competing. According to Cutler, it is not beneficial to carry that much weight.
At the beginning of the year, the bodybuilding legend shared that he would be going through a “Fit-For-50” transformation process. Now, he is halfway through the process and looking as shredded as ever.
Cutler was one of the best in the world during his peak. He finished as the runner-up to Ronnie Coleman on multiple occasions before winning his first Olympia title in 2006. This would be the first of four in his career. Cutler also won the Arnold Classic three times. Since retiring from competition, Cutler continues to share his passion for fitness.
Cutler has been open about his bodybuilding journey, including discussing his steroid cycle. Now mind you, he insists he isn’t returning to actively competing, but he recently started a challenge to transform his physique for turning 50.
Cutler has focused on his own health and building a shredded physique in retirement. During a recent YouTube video, Cutler spoke on the weight of bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler Discusses Heart Health
Jay Cutler knows a thing or two about being successful on the stage but has changed his plans since retiring. This is an issue for athletes if they continue to use the same workouts and diet plans as they did on stage. This would make it difficult to keep weight off.
“As you get older, we have to be more conscious about how much we drag around it’s not good on the heart and everything else.”

Jay Cutler has focused on his own physique transformation but has not been completely satisfied with the results to this point, despite looking as shredded as ever.
“Not happy with the progress I’ll be honest. I expected maybe a little more but I forgot about how important do you know following nutrition was.”
Cutler has more plans on how to rebuild his iconic physique and find his best shape since stepping off stage.
“I don’t necessarily take fat burners. We’re at five weeks, so we have four weeks out to reevaluate the body and say ‘okay. Do I need to hustle?’ I feel like at seven weeks I had to hustle. I’ve now upped the cardio to one hour and 30 minutes a day. That wouldn’t have been my answer back in my era of competing, to be honest because I wanted to hold more muscle mass. I don’t give one bit of thought about how much muscle I’m going to hold for this.”
As Jay Cutler approaches age 50, he continues to be extremely active and determined. After looking at his recent physique updates, he seems to be nearing his goals and will continue to find the balance between a massive physique and conditioning.
