Honestly, Cutler was the one I wanted you to review. Because he's the fucking man. He got astronomically huge, and he can still train, because he didn't squat 800lbs and snap his shit up. He trained smart, and got bigger than an actual planetary object, and for that he'll always have my respect.
@@logicisdead9871 Wearing wraps on a leg press with half ROM was most definitely ego lifting lol! You can add 30kg+ with wraps easily with 0 hypertrophy benefit.
Jay’s training videos influenced RU-vid fitness day in the life, day of eating, day of training and Olympia prep series you see today. He was doing this back in the 90’s and selling them on DVD fucking brilliant
Jay’s easily a Top 5 bodybuilder of all time and has the best videos on practical bodybuilding advice. He is a true artist who is a master of his craft
Jay’s “daily eating” video was always one of my favorites. The sheer weariness and contempt in his eyes and voice when he said the eating was the hardest part is so candid. He’s a good dude with a good head on his shoulders, and at his peak a grotesquely colossal monstrosity in the best possible way. Unimpeachable legend.
Working out to failure! Repitively hard, but at the same time easy. Eating thousands upon thousands of calories each, and every day? Oh hell no, don't touch me with that. I struggle eating just a thousand! Eating sucks! I mean I am terminally ill, so yeah you can cry me a river as I'm to weak myself, but who cares that is besides the point. Even in my prime I hated eating like 4k a day. Seeing what the elite athletes eat I am like yeah screw that. I think it would make me food adversed having to stuff my gullet so often. So hearing Jay be like, "ugh.. More food." Is nice to hear. I'd be depressed too. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a 2,000 calorie pill? I think so. Fun fact! Studies have shown the best for hydration is actually... (Ashkually) skim milk! Crazy wild I know?! Who would have thought. Than the list went skim, Pedialyte, sports drinks(not Prime), coanut water, watermelon juice, other fresh juices with some bottled, and then water. Turns out your body uses or excretes a lot more than just electrolytes, and water. The metabolism seems to need more macros and micros than we think. Anyway Google if you don't believe me.
16:00 Regarding Cutler's seemingly random approach. I started doing this a couple years ago. I'm not a bodybuilder, just a lifter. I used to track every exercise, every rep. It wore me out. After a while I realized that my ability to recover varied SIGNIFICANTLY week to week due to being 44 years old and a stressful life and thus I stopped tracking. I started listening to my body and how I felt during the sets, between the sets, and during my recovery day(s). That one change TRULY made a massive difference and now I know so much more about getting a proper stimulus and I enjoy my exercises so much more.
Have you notice how Jay lately changed? He seems happy, chill and relaxed now, when some of his "prime" videos or interviews were almost depressive. I still remember his face when he was saying - Eating, no stop eating, no taste just eating, it is f... tireful. So cool to see him shining now.
It's the drop of PED use coz it makes you feel miserable inside. I don't know if Jay banged up his system and on permanent TRT which is a case in some pro bodybuilders but it should be on feel like a normal hooman being levels since he's retired and best if he can prolong his life more from all the PEDs he took back in the day.
A nurse here I have been in the health, wealth and fitness for the last 34 years. I just discovered you through a person that has a lot to say about you. You Dr. are witty, entertaining and informative. Kudos and you have a new fan!
I don't buy that. You can't know if you are even building muscle if you are fat. More mass on that gigantic mass will radically decrease your skin quality. You would even hurt your chances to get ready for a show in time. I don't think many elite bodybuilders do/did huge bulks. At least not nearly as often as we seem to think. From what I see they get their bodyfat to healthy levels in the off season to function and train properly. Of course that might mean 30 pounds of fat and so much eating the week after competing, also absorbing a lot of water and getting back on water retaining drugs etc. So they sometimes look obese/bloated with clothes on and due to bad lighting, but they don't really go on stupid bulks.
Mike, your marketing bits are on point. Lots of info, then you work in your ads when they make sense. Love your content and am really impressed with your marketing/advertising.
Jay was the pro guest poser at one of my competitions back in 2001. Talked to all of us for a long time. So genuine. He was my biggest inspiration to compete early on. The Ronnie and Jay Olympia duels were the best era of bodybuilding imo.
Jay is one of the greats, definitely top 5 but he beat Ronnie when his body was declining (not in his peak). He beat him the first two I think and then he lost himself to Dexter. And then he won it again which legendary in itself. Then came Phil who has had to battle with many mass monsters like kai and bug ramy being much smaller than them and destroying them. Also displayed the only physique worthy of being compared with Ronnie in his peak imo. I am a Jay fan but I have to be honest. His mindset was unmatched tho, a true champion🔥
I'm in the medical profession and have been watching bodybuilding and exercise videos for 10yrs. Yes things have changed but I'm so happy where we are now that we get to watch videos like yours! I love your Yt shorts and im only now discovering your long form videos Thank you for doing what your doing Super entertaining and informative!
I really liked the part about different bodybuilding styles, it would be cool if you made a video going over the styles of multiple accomplished bodybuilders to show that there is more than one way to achieve your lifting goals!
"Proprioception - I don't have to look at my body to feel what I'm doing." I did close my eyes and first had to remember that I do have ankles somewhere. Speak for yourself, Dr. Mike, speak for yourself...
The essence?? Ronnie won twice as many as Jay did. You have to seperate the two. Yes Ronnie has major major issues now but that means nothing when talking about the results they got in the Mr. Olympia.
Had the opportunity to meet jay twice at some expos in Nashville most recently last month hes still a big guy and super super nice was a good experience so is brian shaw and lee Priest
Jay Cutler: the best 2nd placer, underdog, chasing Ronnie Coleman for all those years, smashing the Arnolds, winning the Olympia twice, then losing it, then coming back to win two again (which was unprecedented), such an amazing story, handing off the torch to The Gift (Phil Heath), such a legacy, one of the best of the Mass Monster era
I must say the ad read was very well implemented since it was informative at the same time. One of the rare times I actually sit through one of those, love the format!
I walked past him in about 2005 at the Las Vegas airport. He was wearing a tank top and Oakleys and smiling. He was the widest person I'd ever seen. It was simply unreal. Also, behind him in a wheelchair was Mohammad Ali. Which... I wanted to take a knee and bow my head. Wild day.
Would love to see a review of some of the workouts of popular strength athletes (Shaw, Hall, Hooper, etc.) and talk more about the differences in strength vs hypertrophy training
I met Jay in person backstage as I was preparing for my very first bodybuilding competition. To see Jay in person I felt like I had a swimmer’s physique in comparison just massive
That hydrating with minerals is *so important* when you're sweating through every single pore in your body for hours. I tend to use mineral water but people like Jay surely would've loved something like this LMNT. This hydrating stuff is so important to everyone.
Dr Mike we are all still waiting on the Tom Platz critique!!! Need to know your thoughts with his forced reps, high volume and failure training he did! Plus what you think about his hypnosis stuff!
In the Russian language, you can colloquially refer to a buff, manly dude as a "closet". This slang came about after Jay Cutler's first trip to Russia, where all women believed that he was a closet, and not a person.
I used to have bad bad body dysmorphia, in my best shape I felt very bad. I found if I only look at my physique in the mirror every 2-3 weeks maybe, I feel amazing every time and have sky high confidence. Just popped in my mind after Jays comment on covering up a bit.
Jay Cutler has a lot of training videos on his RU-vid channel and with other athletes and he absolutely does 4 sets on squats with 30 seconds of rest. He swears up and down that reps are the key to growth
I have to say that the way Dr Mike does ad reads isn't awkward, it is very natural and does it in a way that I don't mind the ad read. Besides that his critique of Jays workout and accent is great.
Met Jay twice the first time he was with ISS research supplements and after he won his first Olympia, he was unreal to see and a great guy to chat with.
Knowing, other than not taking PEDs, I could never be anywhere like Jay was in an interview while he was Mr. Olympia. He mentioned that he ate beef, chicken, brown rice, broccoli and then casually mentioned 5 pounds of fish. Daily. What Jay looked like; “You know, a large fridge. The kind the rich people have.” 🤣🤣🤣☝️☝️Indeed. Side note on my favorite, Lee Priest; the first time Jay met Lee, he wondered how Lee he could move as he was so massive.
JC is an absolute legend, he visited Denmark a few times and did work outs in my gym, absolut legend and the guy that motivated me to get into training
It’s still commonly believed atleast by the majority that you need to train to failure or close to it with something near your max. However there’s another game plan that probably has just as much support this one is less heavy but still intense it’s called volume is king. Plenty of people get jacked without ever trying to max out or risk injury they just use high reps or high sets and frequent workouts.
Jay is awesome on so many levels!🙌 I’m proud to be an affiliate of @cutlernutrition! Awesome supps, workout advice and super nice guy. I give him mad props for still being in phenomenal shape even after retiring from bodybuilding!💪
Dr. Mike critiquing one of the greatest of all time in bodybuilding, what a freaking treat! I remember watching Jay and Ronnie Coleman battle it out on stage and then defending it against Phil Heath. My favorite eras in bodybuilding and inspired generations of amateur, semi-pro, and pro lifters.
To focus on internal cues in the squat I found that turning around and NOT facing a mirror worked wonders for me. My squat became so much better and I could focus more. Just a tip for you folks if you are not already doing it.
Finally we get Mr. No range of motion + never too much time waste Jay Cutler. He has a unique training style but goes completely against training science. It’s purely genetics + consistency
Odd, Jay has alot of Range of Motion though and we're talking about OLYMPIA size bodybuilders here and their movement is very limited since they grow so big it's like wearing 50 clothes all at the same time. Jay has top of the line genetics, he's smart aswell and took care of his body and his health right now is proof of this and his range of motion at 5'9 too like bruh im amazed he can still do good ROM with that size.
Good stuff Dr. Peak Cutler was a thing of beauty if you're into that sort of thing....kkk bodybuilding of course. Please review John Meadows. He had some interesting & great methods, techniques & hacks on how to maximize muscle gain, hypertrophy, the pump & even breaking through plateus. RIP MountainDog.
Can you critique professional athletes like a soccer player and explain the difference in workouts compared to bodybuilding. Also would love to see you critique calisthenics athletes.
first time everyone could predict the RP Hypotrophy app ad coming. Saved on the editor much? I rebel! Give us back the unpredictability! PAY YOUR EDITOR MORE!!!
Can we get some strongman reviews please?! Would love to see a breakdown and blushing 😊 over those 400 lbs muscle gods, plus how/what they eat is just so unique I think it'd be fun! Tons of interesting footage from lifting more weight than any other human can, to what Martin Licis is doing as a traveling strongman. They mostly seem like great guys which we can all gain some sort of inspiration from.
Adding on to the LMNT ad. I discovered LMNT for a 100km ultra trail as one half of my hydration strategy. Love the taste and salt selection. It was one of the more expensive options but was worth it. Other go to hydration salts that I use are gastrolyte and hydrolyte tablets. They are cheaper and more easily found in pharmacies.
Jay cutler is the true meaning of the word bodybuilding all about pump not weight still fit and strong in retirement some of the best triceps on any bodybuilder
When I was learning about body building as a teenager and young man, Jay's statements and workout guides made sense, which shouldn't be surprising, but in an era when everyone was trying to sell junk, he seemed intelligent and reasonable.
I'm glad you finally got around to this critique, I use Jay Cutler's ebooks for my workout schedule and they work better than anything I've tried in the past... FYI I've never tried yours because I can't afford it but hey results speak for themselves... I always enjoy your content.
I've been shifting my focus lately to internal muscle feel. It's crazy how much you can alter a lift with really subtle changes that are basically invisible to an observer.
This was Informative and also enjoyable😊 I was well satisfied at the end, especially as no self-humiliating crass comments that included f.k, f.king or f.ked were included in the final mix🙂
