Jay Cutler Interview: I Didn't Want To Be Big, I Wanted To Win | Iron Cinema

IRON CINEMA - Every Monday we connect you with Generation Iron director Vlad Yudin. Get a first hand look at the entire journey of the bodybuilding industry - ranging from athlete interviews, behind-the-scene looks at major events, and insight into the Generation Iron Fitness Network‘s original shows and films.
Jay Cutler is a 4x Mr. Olympia champion and the person who eventually dethroned the legendary 8x Mr. Olympia champion Ronnie Coleman. In order to do that Jay needed to go toe-to-toe with Ronnie Coleman in all aspects of physique... including size. But what I found interesting while interviewing Jay is that he actually doesn't prefer that modern mass monster look. He didn't have a specific goal in mind for size - instead he just wanted to do whatever it took to defeat Ronnie Coleman.
Jay Cutler said so many interesting things in the course of filming Generation Iron 2 that there was no way it could all make it in. But now you can finally learn more about Jay Cutler's current viewpoint on bodybuilding (including his updated opinion about Kai Greene's recent endeavors) in this new extended GI 2 interview for Iron Cinema. Check it out above.

"Bodybuilding is not Jay Cutler, Kai Greene and Phil Heath only. Bodybuilding can be a guy at 160 pounds that used to be 110 pounds." Goosebumps all over my body when he said that. What a great statement

[@kevinratay9237]

"I didn't have money but I got to go to the gym everyday" love what u stand for Jay

[@olivergoodwin1348]

Connor Sliney Must have been a free gym then.

[@felipeabonza6486]

Connor Sliney I guess he paid the gym so he was broke cuz of that xd

[@larjkok1184]

I have plenty of money and don’t go to the gym. It’s much better.

[@franbatista9062]

Healthy body and healthy mind it's even better

[@LairdRoss]

Came from having nothing to having it all. He did very well for himself

[@ay-ay-ron4071]

Jay Cutler is so genuine and humble, I met him when he visited our base Camp Pendleton, he is all for the troops and that's just one of many things that makes him an amazing person. Definitely a legend and truly an inspirational person in my books.

[@lowdagaramhai]

Ay-Ay -Ron fuck the retarded troops

[@raiNofchAosFPS]

@Navi i aint even from the US an i have full respect for the troops!! #Salute

[@lndestr1234]

when you support the troops you support war for a small group of rich poeple. thats just stupid. they die for a illusion.

[@sthr2110]

lndestr1234 When you support the troops, you are SUPPOSED TO BE supporting the actual soldiers and why they, as individuals, are doing what they are doing, independently of those beyond them who may or may not be corrupt.

[@RandomJam666]

troops this troops that my god do you americans have anything else in your head than your fucking troops its pathetic

[@JdSpoof]

The dude looks young and is still in great shape. His genetics are absolutely superior.

[@thespy7795]

Looks like shit. Never should have been Mr. Olympia. Just a Blocky Built dude with NO symmetry. Looks even worse now that the 'ROIDS have worn off.

[@JacobKuba]

El Mako rich Piana still looks younger though

[@TheSuperSwain]

Jacob Kuba rich looks fkn awful

[@Anonymous-vj3tt]

El Mako after retirement they are all on testosterone replecament therapy for life thats why they stil look good

[@JdSpoof]

The Spy That's why people have such an issue with bodybuilding judges: subjectivity is a very strong factor when considering who's "the best."

[@tradrlarryone1827]

i didnt have money but i was able to go to the gym everyday thats probley one of the most inspirational quotes ever

[@caddersdx247]

He was so kind to me when I met him in St Albans UK 2014. His dedication and love for what he did or does gave me confidence to pursue my dreams.

[@LeoBlight]

If only more people understood that body building is an art. Most people see a body builder big guy and thinks oh... he thinks he a tough guy. But the guy that weight trains is thinking, "Are my arms big enough, does my left Pec match my right, Are my shoulders wide enough." I'd say it is the hardest discipline (or one of th hardest).

[@terrystrand]

NPC/IFBB bodybuilding is about powerful prescription DRUGS. There has never been a Mr. Olympia or even just a Mr. Olympia competitor since the contest began 52 years ago in 1965 that has not been on DRUGS. I'm not hating on anyone, this is just a fact. Way back in the 40's and 50's guys like Reeves and Grimek were before steroids. Cutler gives this big long speech about promoting workouts and fitness, yet he has swallowed and shot boatloads of drugs into his system....and made himself into a cartoon character. He's a nice guy, but not mentioning his drug use is BS.

[@LeoBlight]

terry strand The entire American population is drugged up, either by prescriptions or some kind of substance abuse. Say what you want but these men live their dreams weather it is a risk to their health or not. i do not take drugs but ive trained for years and know how hard it is obtain a nice physic. Body building is an art. some people just use extra paint and paint brushes to create the portrait they want.

[@terrystrand]

Leo...I have been in the iron game as a judge, contestant, trainer, etc. for decades. Would you want to have a son-in-law who was on bodybuilding drugs as they 'follow their dreams'? I feel sorry for the wife. Natural bodybuilding, sure. Drug bodybuilding, no. And I don't care what the rest of the world does. Nor am I a saint. But it's a dead end to take bodybuilding drugs to put on what is actually 'fake' muscle.

[@LeoBlight]

terry strand call it fake or what you want! you live your life and they live their life! if I ever went that route and took the drugs that's on me. I won't cry and scream be at people because of how they get the muscle/body of their dreams. As long as he is happy that's all that matters. that will he all!

[@lynneprice4014]

terry strand he was born with diabetes so he has to take insulin giving him a natural carb advantage so his drug use is more grey area compared to other bodybuilders cuz either way BB or not he wed still be lean because of the insulin

[@cobaltss50]

Jay Cutler is a very positive inspiration. it doesn't matter if your 160 or 200lbs body building is a lifestyle and anyone can be a bodybuilder and paint the picture they want of themselves. very humble spoken like a true champion.

[@vishnusubramanian775]

Cutler is the greatest bodybuilder of all time..Forever Cutler fan..!!

[@Ed1training2023]

Probably 1 of the best bodybuilders on the planet and definitely my favourite by far, hope some day to meet this man

[@capoman1]

Cutler's Olympia record is pretty amazing. Even staying in the top 3 or top 5 consistently is super hard. How many 2nd place finishes does Cutler have. That is impressive.

[@1985Seraphim]

I love how humble and genuine he is.

[@George-rr3vk]

Jay Cutler is an awesome muscular Beast!

[@dmr4610]

I love it that jay still loves the gym

[@gonadiator]

Generation Iron knocks the ball out of the park with these videos. All of them hit you on some level. Takes a rare talent in an editor to achieve that. Great job guys.

[@cordawg17]

I love Jay. I'm just sad i wasnt in to bodybuilding when he was on the stage. but at least i can watch it all on video. Never give up Jay.

I never imagined this guy to be so down to earth and sophisticated. Surely I'm a fan

[@heyhitler3092]

God I love Jay! You're the man bro! Much blessings and prosperity!

[@raultorresjr3473]

Jay is my favorite bodybuilder. I remember being a junior in high school and waiting for the 09 Olympia results to get posted on Bb.com when I saw what he looked like when he got the shadow back I was amazed at how incredible he looked.

[@rontourage7384]

Wow Jay! When I met you years ago at the Europa in Orlando, I thought you didn’t have much of a personality. And now I watch this and you do and being humble! Nice!

[@shivajaiswal5715]

[@briantime9880]

Angel Amador he's is better than Phil.

[@wesleyg4386]

Of course he's better than Phil. That joke won more than he should. Seriously I don't believe he deserved to win even one.

[@MrAdal206]

Sulayman A no way is he better than phil

[@leart78]

Angel Amador im

[@beachbum4166]

An understated aspect of the bodybuilding community that is contradictory to the stereotype of "muscle head, meat head," etc, is the intelligence of the top echelon of the bodybuilding community. Jay is a good example of this and other legends such as Arnold, Frank Zane and list goes on and on. I'm not saying there aren't idiots and fraudsters but the top is pretty well represented.

[@sonubhajan]

only a legend can beat a legend

[@johnp8587]

I never thought about it before but jay Cutler has a normal voice for a pro bodybuilder. Most of them get a deeper voice.

[@Fascistbeast]

Jay is a good role model for up and comers BBuilding help beat my depression and gave me self esteem

[@guitarman64100]

what a lovely guy

[@stacyalmira3502]

2:35 thats a great physique for Jay ★★

[@taylorcantly3954]

A Cut Above

[@nikeelslinger4797]

damn jay is an amazing guy

[@atulbabu6380]

Class bodybuilding right here.

[@capoman1]

I appreciate that Cutler still likes to stay in good shape.

[@yrysamangeldi2986]

Jay Cutler is the greatest bodybuilder ever. He is the most complete Mr.O. He lost, he got title back. Most importantly, he beat mass monster Ronnie Coleman, whilst Phile Heath never could have done that... That is the difference between Jay and and the other guys. Greetings from Kazakhstan!!!💪💪💪

[@tylergnosis2581]

inspiration

[@arcee3208]

Cutler was a BEAST man!

[@preachinoldschool5726]

If Ronnie trained as smart as Jay, he still would have won all his O's and he'd be able to walk, jog, lift, avoid 2 hip replacements & several back operations.

[@plaguex1]

Preachin' OldSchool he definitely didn't train smart for his future but he trained hard and how he knew to. He has absolute dedication, sucks bad that he injured himself so badly but he is an icon for his passion nonetheless.

[@alcan9952]

The difference between Ronnie and Jay in terms of injurys is down to age, not training.

[@sethmeyer258]

Its not nessecarily the way he trained. Yes it did play a part. But the bigger issue was that Ronnie continued to train in between surgeries when the doctors told him not to. His body couldnt heal and now he's paying for it. If he had waited and healed correctly hed be in a much better position than he is now.

[@markfawn856]

@@sethmeyer258 That's only part of it since Jay never even needed to have surgeries to begin with. Jay did it in a way that I respect more since it's more inline with bodybuilding to improve the body instead ot destroy it. As a former Mr. Olympia his wins hold more value imo since they weren't won due to powerlifting methods(like Dorian), but BB principles. Even with roids involved it's has always tried to represent health and wellness, not dying at any cost to look the freakiest.

[@Mike75065]

Jay Cutler Rocks he the man!!!

[@sack943]

Jay will go down as the greatest ambassador for the sport worldwide tour during his rain of Mr.olympia always humble a true champion

[@ekta9197]

[@peacefouad0xx]

HEY !!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU HELP ME TO FIND THE STREAMING LINK FOR WATCH THE GENERATION IRON 2 ???????? PLEASEEEEE

[@Texas_Cruiser]

I always wonder who mentors these guys on their cycles and really gets into the nitty gritty with the fine tuning of everything in exquisite detail at the Olympic level. Like say I win a show at 22 and at the time was on some basic test and a few orals....who gets me into that crazy world of the igf, gh, diuretics, etc. and supplies everything? That's one thing all these top guys had going for them? Like Hey Ronnie you're getting big and you got potential...here take this. It's a grimey and risky world.

[@dilshadkazi5406]

Jay cuttler is the man..he's the best off all Time...
