Jay Culter‘s interest in the Men’s Open division hasn’t fallen off since retiring in 2013. In a recent Cutler Cast podcast, Cutler discussed the lack of bodybuilders qualified for 2023 Olympia and revealed new details about transforming his body for a ‘Fit for 50’ challenge.
“The Pittsburgh Pro guest posing is going to be the tell-tale of what the Olympia will be,” Cutler said.
The Men’s Open class underwent dramatic shifts over the past five months, starting with the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest, which saw a new champion emerge as Hadi Choopan defeated Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay en route to becoming the first Iranian-born champion.
In March, the 2023 Arnold Classic finished with Samson Dauda’s hand raised. He faced top-three finishers Nick Walker and Andrew Jacked on his way to the victory. In light of the results, fans and bodybuilding mainstays like Bob Cicherillo have opened up on the results as some found them controversial. He believes Dauda presented a better combination of factors such as shape, aesthetics, proportions, and conditioning.
While keeping an eye on the division he was ruled over, Cutler believes any of the top four finishers from Columbus, Ohio could have won. Nevertheless, his eyes are shifting to bodybuilding’s next major event, the Mr. Olympia contest, scheduled for November 2-5, in Orlando, Florida. Cutler also provided further details on his latest ‘Fit for 50’ body transformation challenge.
Jay Cutler Eyes Breakthrough Talent in Men’s Open, Says 2023 Mr. Olympia Will ‘See a Lot of New Faces’
With less time to qualify for the Mr. Olympia contest compared to last year, Cutler believes there are a few big names that might not earn an invitation.
“I want to talk about how fast the years go because we have the Olympia and now we’re getting into the busy season where there’s a lot of these qualifying shows and we’re going to see a lot of these new faces.”
“There’s so many big names that aren’t qualified yet. But it’s going to just roll now. What I noticed while training for all those titles and I used to think I had the break after the Olympia and next thing you know, it feels like so long between the next year. Once you hit Spring and May hits, it was like – remember back then, it [Olympia] was like September or October. It seemed like it went by so fast.”
Having earned gold and his 2023 Olympia invite at the 2022 Bigman Weekend Pro, Brett Wilkin has the potential to make waves later this year. Cutler added that Justin Shier could serve as a breakout name during the season as well.
“Every week we’re going to be talking about – once we hit May, the shows just roll after that and there’s so many faces that aren’t qualified [there will be a lot] that don’t make it, yeah,” said Cutler. “You still have the Krizos, the Iains, who is going to be the breakout guy this year, is Brett Wilkins going to make a statement this year. I think Martin Fitzwater is sitting out. Who are we going to see, are we going to see Justin Shier breakthrough?”
Cutler ‘Not Satisfied’ With Current Physique: “The Fit for 50 Challenge Is Me Against Me”
In preparation for his next project, Cutler stopped consuming caffeine and plans to go ‘full tilt’ into training and nutrition in May.
“I quit drinking coffee. I’m actually scaling back a lot on the caffeine, even the pre-workouts, I’m mostly using the just stim-free pump pre-workout,” Cutler shared. “I’m going to go full tilt starting May into a – not a full deep deep preparation but as far as food, training, sleep patterns,” Jay Cutler shared.
“I’m giving myself about 12 weeks to get in shape. I’m actually relatively lean; I just don’t have a lot of fullness, so the diet is going to be huge. I actually just did blood work, which I’m actually going to show my results here which I should have today or tomorrow.”
“He [Mike O’Hearn] seems to be skipping out on the podcast. For you guys that follow Mike O’Hearn please give a shout-out to Mike and say hey when are you coming on the Cutler Cast. We’ve actually had him booked so many times now.”
While Jay Cutler is unsure of his ‘end goal,’ he hopes to achieve his best shape since 2013 without returning to old protocols and intense training.
“He looks absolutely amazing right, for me… I don’t know what the end goal is — I just know I’m not satisfied with how I look now. I don’t have a real prediction on what – people keep asking me what are you going to weight, what are you going to look like, I have no idea. This is all new to me. I’m not taking any more drugs or whatever else. I’m not going into the old protocols and I’m going to show that through my transition period. The Fit for 50 challenge is me against me. To be my best shape that I’ve been in since I retired in 2013.”
Cutler plans to show his audience he can transform his physique without going overboard in the gym.
“I don’t try to max out; I don’t want to risk any injury, the funny part is, I don’t want to train so bad that I’m super sore. That’s the crazy thing for this 50 challenge: I’m going to train like that without going overboard and show that you still can,” said Cutler.
As the 2023 season unfolds, Cutler anticipates a surge in high-level talent hitting the stage. They will be aiming for the ultimate prize: the Mr. Olympia title, currently held by Hadi Choopan.
