2013 Olympia - Jay Cutler 6th place !!!!

[dyslexic]

Yup, yup....

[TommyBoy]

And he was a seriously top tier class act about it. That was gracious as hell.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

What's weird is he said he only trained for 10 weeks for the Olympia. Yet there is video of him in the gym many months out of the show. In fact, he video tapped himself almost everyday for the past year. In and out of the gym, restaurants, food shopping, doing cardio and sitting on the toilet..Who's he trying to bullshit with the 10 week comment?.

[Rajkapoor]

6th jay is better gift than branch 9th place.

[240 is Back]

everyone KNEW he was getting 6th.  Had to have him in that final posedown, just had to.

Roelly should be placed 6th

[D_1000]

Roelly should be placed 6th

Yup. Would be pissed as Roelly. Jay was now such a train wreck that Beyanke should have clearly been ahead of him.

[240 is Back]

Jay didn't announce any retirement today.  He came back with only 3-4 months training and was still given #6 in the world.

He should come back next year and compete again -  even at 41 years old.


Who's the 6th best QB in the NFL? Eli? Flacco? They're sure not retiring just because they're not as good as brady or manning.

Why not keep coming back? Sure, "legacy" and all that... nobody likes to see an amazing player keep playing 5 years past his prime. But if they love competing, they're making a good living... why not? Lots of "rock star" bands from the 80s and 90s still tour regularly and play for 200 people in bars these days. No, they're not #1 in the world anymore, but they're still doing what they like and making a living.

I bet Jay will be back next year too. He might only get 9th last year as injuries mount...and he might get 4th too. Why not try it? Former champs are going to win the edge if it's close at all. Former champs WILL get in the top 6th, even if they have the 7th or 8th best physique onstage. brady gets calls that Vick doesnt. It's just the nature of sports. You win a few rings and you get the benefit of the doubt.

I think jay will be back, and he should come back. Forget trying to match Jordan going on top with the jumper against the Jazz... Jordan came back as a solid yet not amazing player because it made hiim HAPPY and made him money too. Go for it!

[DroppingPlates]

He won't compete, no way.

[240 is Back]

He won't compete, no way.

What if someone offers him a million bucks to wear their supp brand t-shirt, use his likeness on products, for the next 365 days, train for the show, and place wherever?

ANY of us would do it for a million bucks, right?  I bet after the buzz surrounding him, ,Jay would get 2 or 3 million.  Just ONE company.  Heck, get a tattoo for them or something lol... If he was untrained and sloppy 4 months out... imagine what a year of training could do... Jay would be given 2nd or 3rd next year, we all kinda know it, injuries or not. 

[JasonH]

If the money's right, he'll do it - he's got to pay the bills somehow. He'll probably do one more year and then call it quits.

[sancho ed]

sure, he can do it for the money if someone were to offer, but theres no way he would be competitive. he's been a pro since '96 and by the look of his physique today, his body has had enough. his shape today had nothing to do with only having 10 wks to train, and everything to do with "father time".  his body is beat and will only detoriate like ronnies.

[honest]

There's no coming back from nerve damage, no matter what the prep time, its father time retiring your ass

[240 is Back]

I'm not saying he can regain his 2010 shape.  Ever again.

I'm saying he can show up at the O in his best possible shape, and he will be awarded top 10 for the next 3 years, easily.

And if he has all year to train, he will have more muscle.  He will have his messed up shape and some poor areas due to nerve damage, injury, etc, but he's a fan favorite and thus will still be top 10.  We all know it.  He got 6th today and that's with 3-4 months of training, and all those injuries.   Give him 2 months off to recover, 7 months to build muscle, and 3 months to get ripped again.  

Jay will be back in 2014... too much $ on the table, and he knows the placings will be there, despite his flaws.

IMO, the ship has sailed on ending his career with some perfect legacy.  Right now, it's a great job he loves that he's still top 6 in the world at it... He can make a few miilion just going to the gym and eating clean, something he's done for the last 25 years.


Jay will complete at the O in 2014.  Period.

[MORTALCOIL]

Giving him 6th is really as devious as it gets. Pretty much, they showed him the door but left it opened for him to crawl back in. It's like "It's up to you Jay. You can try again and embarrass yourself. Nobody will have your back if you fuck up this big next time."So the thing we don't know is how much Jay needs to milk that cow or is he comfortable enough to just do the guest posing and post-career BS and make enough from it. I hope he can retire frankly.

[luvvsuNOT]

He didn't do so bad when you consider he only trained for 10 weeks as claimed.  

Imagine what he could do if he trained a full year.

If he can afford paying $1,000 a week just on that ART massages as he claimed in his video then he can't be doing too bad and can afford to retire. Just drop most of the drugs and get to men's physique level size and bang that new hottie he has shaving his back. Forget the pro bodybuilding life already while you still have your hair and kidneys in tact.

[240 is Back]

He can still just show up and sign autographs and make a great living. 

If he wants to keep lifting and stay in decent shape, he can still make ten grand a week just showing up for guest posing once a week for 12 minutes and 3 hours of chatting at a booth. 

Jay loves the action, the excitement, the attention, the rush of beating people and attaining his best shape.  He'll be back onstage.  He may be exhausted now and maybe say he's done... but I'll believe it when I see it.  The iron is hot, he'll strike it.

2015 Arnold classic as the swan song.

Get big as a house through 2014 and do a big farewell tour.

[oldschoolfan]

why would anyone want jay cutlers autograph?

[MORTALCOIL]

Insomnia remedy.

[Frank Clairmonte]

He is going to be hanging around and pretend to be still active and keeping money flowing.

His competitive days are gone.

[bebop396]

He did mention possibly competing at the Arnold Classic...Ofcourse he has played around with that idea just about every year in the past...

[kyomu]

Being a top pro costs lots of money and mental sacrifice.
It depends on financial ,health and mental situation.
