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.

Jay Cutler Talks Cycles And Testosterone Use

On a recent episode of Cutler Cast, Jay Cutler sat down with Milos Sarcev to discuss his testosterone use.

“I didn’t use testosterone the last weeks. I would use like a Primo or Winstrol, or whatever. I didn’t use testosterone, not any test, not any prop, not anything, right. Weeks, weeks, weeks. Like 6-8 weeks. I’ve done it different ways. Not to say I’ve done it every way. We’ve talked about the 80-50 right? I did that for my last two Olympia’s, 09-10, was that kind of dosage.”

Cutler continued to discuss how he is taking 200mg of testosterone each week. He wants to prove this once he gets a blood test. Also, the bodybuilding legend explained his cycles during his career and how he was able to build his physique.

A post shared by Jay Cutler (@jaycutler)

“What do you think mine is at today? I was not 2,800. Will you please tell him it was 2,000? I am getting a blood test done, which I will share with you. I guarantee it’s a lot lower. I know but I don’t care.

Remember, when I come off a cycle, okay, if we took breaks through the year, I’m talking like full-blast being a professional bodybuilder. You’re still going to have some sort of something in your system, right? Very rarely, although after a show, I was tested and I was at 70 like a week after I come off for the show.”

After discussing his plan during his career, Jay Cutler compared it to what he has been doing during his current fitness challenge.

“For 12 weeks, I was on six meals. I trained consistently. I started cardio again. Ask me how I feel, I do feel better at 232 than I did at 245, meaning I feel more energetic. So, maybe that’s a side but at the same time, if you said how do you feel in the gym, are you stronger? No. I don’t do any more weights. I recover the same. My appetite is definitely way more now.”
