Jay Cutler: Overeating Is The Most Dangerous Part About Bodybuilding | GI Vault

READ full article: generationiron...
Jay Cutler believes that force feeding for mass is more dangerous than steroid use in the sport.
Jay Cutler is one of the few legendary pro bodybuilders who trimmed down a good amount after retiring from the sport. Make no mistake, Cutler is still in shape and sports an impressive physique but his mass is nowhere near the levels he had as an Olympia champion. Is this because he believes the bodybuilding lifestyle to be unhealthy? In our latest GI Exclusive Vault interview, Jay Cutler explains why overeating, not steroids, is the most dangerous part of bodybuilding.
GI VAULT - is an extension of our GI Exclusive interviews. The difference? These interviews come straight out of the Generation Iron vault from the cutting room floor of our feature film documentaries. With over hours of interview footage that doesn’t make it into our final films, we’re now releasing them out into the world.

@Chon Connor Imagine the biggest obese persons diet and caloric intake... multiply it by 2 and you have a 300 lb IFBB pro bodybuilder

[@carloscruz7537]

I mean you don't have to be a genius to know that forcing meals down your throat, even when not hungry, to consume a 10,000 calorie surplus has to have some negative effect on the body. Just like people who suffer from anorexia or bulimia know that something can't be good with what they are doing.

[@RaulDukeKnife]

R. Piana was pretty honest bout this stuff as well.

[@RaulDukeKnife]

@@evanodum563 That is a false equivalency Broseph. 3000 calories of whole grain rice, 3500 calories of Salmon, 2500 calories of heart healthy fats and avocados or olive oils and 1000 calories of vegetables is not the same as the "biggest obese persons diet" (the biggest fat folks are around 1000 lbs by the way and its 90 percent sugar and up to 30,000 calories of cake and pie and candy and cookies and creams and burgers and fries. The top top level extreme obese folks can not move or fit through doors, and shit in the seat they are in until they decease there or a forklift removes them. Even the 500 - 600 lb obese folks are eating 20,000 calories of cakes and sugar. Go to the website Feabie and look at the women or men there. Inform yo' self G. Nice try doe.

I met him in 2003 before he was mr. Olympia he was a Class Act even then. I was almost 250 pounds and he made me look like a little girl. But you know what he look me in the eye and was nice and talk to me when he probably had better things to do. I think he was the guest poser at the Louisiana if I remember correctly or something like that. Nothing but respect for him we're about the same age and I would definitely rather do it his way than Coleman's

[@BJETNT]

@Real World Warrior lowen I'm a dietitian not that simple. How the steroids are definitely not good but they don't kill you for a long time if ever the insulin and the growth hormone that they take for the massive amounts of food can kill you in 5 minutes. There's so many factors that can kill bodybuilders it's hard to find out which came first the chicken or the egg in their case the needle or the pill. I know bodybuilders are done piles of steroids and when they quit and take care of themselves don't have problems at all 40 years later. I also know 26 year old people that have died from growth hormone for a few years because their heart got too big to pump correctly

Over eating was my demise. I got hit at 31 with a golf ball sized hernia in my upper gi track and my esophagus built up scar tissue...I lost about 80% of everything I worked for...watched it all desolve over 3 to 4 year period. Needless to say I have to take stomach meds every morning and every 3 years the put me under for a few minutes and diolate my esophagus so I can eat easier. I almost died several times in my sleep choking on food that wasn't processing...I got scared and told the dr. That's how they found out after 3 ultrasounds. Im 37 now have not lifted or trained in 5 years..I plan on making a natural comeback at somepoint before 40yrs old. But it took alot out of me for sure.ill never use again. I'm clean and sober.

Over-eating is one thing, but lets get honest the gear is a huge risk beyond whatever else you're consuming. If anything its being over 300lb's at 5ft8 that is the health issue immediately

[@TyCorr]

Can you inject any amount of drugs and get that size without food? Of course not. Everyone has seen a bodybuilding diet on paper but most havent tried consuming it. For most people the bottleneck of getting huge is eating. So yea, no hocus pocus, his words were correct. Eating causes inflammation in the gut and organs.

[@emilrasmussen7886]

BigTyronie yep I agree plus all the food causes the stomach to stretch and expand and it’s a very bad combo with GH and insulin

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

Yeah it's a false dichotomy really. Steroids and eating are both necessary for that kind of size. Eating enables the steroids (plus insulin, HGH, whatever) to work their magic. Even natural bodybuilders obviously need to eat a decent bit but steroids up the ceiling for what can be achieved there for both gains and maintenance. There is absolutely no initiative to eat huge amounts as a natty; all you'll gain is fat because the protein synthesis is not there.

[@TheGlowingOnee]

I can’t imagine how it feels like being that weight and height, seems like a nightmare. Lol

His legacy will not be known as a great champ. But as a chump. Even when he was getting ready to return in 2020, in his interview with Ron Harris he spewed with arrogance.

He should have gotten no less than 2nd and I’m a Bonac Fan. Nonetheless, he saluted Dexter out of respect. One of my favorite pics at the 2020 O was when Ramy won and turned and bowed his head to Curry. What a freaky classy cat!!! Although, he is the new king, he still showed the former king respect.

[@coltonrenz3753]

I dono who actually looks and responds to KZbin comments but man this G.O.A.T. And amazing human being is so smart, I hope he lives to be atleast 90 if not a 100

[@jaytorr6701]

Notice what he said. He was a volume trainer. Compare that with Ronnie...

[@abdiver12]

Was watching an interview with Flex Wheeler about what he'd do different and he said he wished he knew back then that he could have achieved the same results with 20 reps as he did with 10.

[@HardcoreNaturalFitness]

[@Cologneking408]

Vince Taylor preached this for years

[@muscularclassrepresentativ5663]

But also look at how injured Ronnie is now. He has a stiff back due to surgeries, and a bunch of other issues

[@Seanryan2001]

I agree. Ronnie must look back at his life now and realised he trained too Heavy and would surely give back a few of those Sandow trophies just to be able to walk normally again. He would never admit that but deep down he must be thinking that. He would be foolish not too.

[@jds6014]

Always very honest and extremely knowledgeable.

[@bob-a-louannamaria7960]

The thing about Jay is you can tell he still hasn’t beaten his lack of self esteem. He’s always overly serious and never has a joke to say or a smile to crack

[@dead4980]

maybe that’s just his demeanor 😨

[@JamesSmith-cm7sg]

I'd say it's more arrogance

[@FahimibnDawud]

Nah, watch his behind the scenes vids.. he's definitely not lacking confidence and makes a lot of jokes. He's even a cocky guy at times.

[@toddclarke2348]

Jay is definitely the man , I mean to really say how it is takes guts and honesty. To be this real is such a blessing. So refreshing to hear a successful pro body builder lay it down. Dorian Yates is the same. Both are awesome legends.

[@TheJakecakes]

He is so incredibly even keel. Love it.

[@brentschmoeckel1420]

Such honesty and wisdom

[@phillipthomas4328]

BB is healthy...competing is the unhealthy part! I train like a BBer and eat (somewhat) like a BBer lol, but it’s the getting “stage ready” which is where health goes out the window!

[@ronaknanda6175]

Yes while cutting they abuse all kinds of clen to dnp to diuretics

[@russoga]

Bodybuilding is not healthy, never was, maybe at 50' - 70' but not after this.

[@JetskiDex]

Facts!!!

[@K4L3P]

@Chris Lynch strength is strength

[@venusianlight7785]

Appreciate Jay’s candor 💯

[@Magic_beans_]

Dan Clark (“Nitro” from the original American Gladiators) now tries to talk to high school athletes about the dangers of steroid use, and he’s encountered the same challenge that Jay mentions here. As Clark put it, you tell a 15-year-old that they could die at 30 and it barely registers; it’s literally a lifetime away.

[@jfoster1515]

THIS is why Jay Cutler is the best ! He's REAL... He cares about this business and he does not lie !

[@werecat9834]

7:10 This is basically everyone's feelings right here. "What is truly healthy these days?"

[@immers2410]

Very insightful. Every bodybuilder starting out should watch this.

Jay's the man

[@jorgeegrojjorge]

Jay Cutlesr is one the classiest bodybuilers and a true legend!

[@bigben5241]

Wish I had known this in my early 20s! at 23 I became sick which lasted 3 years due to the chronic stress and diet of bodybuilding. I was 95 kg at the time and 5'7 in height and fully n at natural. My digestive system and immune system crashed hard and lost 25 kg over a year and a half. By the grace of God my body was healed after 3 years, but I learned my lesson.

[@jiggajigjones8210]

Im hoping you are well, sir.

[@mexican8940]

Oh wow, that’s crazy... I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m glad you’re doing better now. If I may ask, what was your total “Macros” per day? Did you take any supplements? How many meals did you eat in a day?

[@bigben5241]

@@mexican8940 Cheers bro, yeah so at the time I was consuming about 3500 cal a day my protein was about 300g/day, Carbs and fats made the rest. Prior to that at my heaviest at 110kg I was eating 4500 calories a day. 6 -7 meals a day from 6 am to 9pm every day without fail , supps were Whey protein, ZMA, D aspartic acid and Saw palmetto, also used creatine off and on.

[@cesar-lf1jw]

Holy fuck 200 at 5’7? So eating lots of protein is not good to get big?

Absolutely on the money, I say genetics to my friends all the time. They are the foundation, for anyone, any sport and any aspect of life in general.

@@persus1177 10 million dollars doesn't mean you are wealthy, that amount money can be spunked by one generation. Some people are rich but very few are wealthy.

90% of people looking for muscle gains don’t eat enough anyways. Myself included. Most people just don’t have an appetite to eat 5-6 full meals a day.

[@edmeyer4800]

The drugs support that kind of calorie intake.

I did a whole presentation on why everyone should be a BB from the healthy habit aspects with a current IFBB pro, Henry Jackson, and we covered why it’s a great lifestyle when not competing

[@brenttaylordotus]

Long ago I told a friend of mine he shouldn’t be eating a snickers bar because we were practicing martial arts and trying to be healthy. He said “yes I should, it makes me feel good.” It was impossible to argue with that
