You guys are overlooking the obvious. Jay has no shot of winning another Olympia while under a MD contract. As silly as this is, it is the truth nonetheless.
So.... unless Jay wants to just try and shoot for a 2nd or 3rd place victory, just to score a pay-check, then there is no point in him taking any more toll on his body, as he has already accomplished everything he set out to do.
Honestly I think he has been down the road of retirement, for a while now, and his Current gig at MD, is just a way to milk out some money before exiting the scene completely,
