Jay cutler on the 96′ nationals

Jay cutler at 19yrs of age

Cutler at the PREJUDGING of 2006 Olympia

well I think at this time the disadvantage JAY had was his height, a tall guy has to put on alot of muscle to look Symmetrical and ‘FULLER’, and as for BRANCH WARREN I think his height really had the advantage over JAY… ummmm anyway JAY did talk about being beaten by BRANCH WARREN in his video JAY-Z and I always thought what it was like back then….

This guy has a very calm nature and that’s what i really liked about him when he won and lost the olympia title, no matter what he is feeling he doesn’t let it out on the stage, and that’s what is really cool about him… it shows how much he respects his FELLOW BODYBUILDERS… he really makes the winning or the losing bodybuilder makes comfortable….

When Jay won the 2006 olympia

When Jay lost the 2008 OLYMPIA

This guy just takes the facts as they are, never gives that PISSED off look on stage or goes CRAZY on stage when he wins… and that’s why he will always be a CHAMP to me

boy O boy! for a guy who has been living in the plains sure has a hard time workin’ out in the hills… You see due to an emergency we had to rush to my home town DARJEELING, which is a pretty famous hill station world wide, for its natural beauty. Its a very small town and there are only 2-3 gyms here. So we arrived here on the 19th sept and will be here roughly about a month, the sad part is that I will miss the webcast of OLYMPIA 2008 on the 27th. This mornin’ I woke up at 6:40am got ready and had 4 toasts and two eggs… ran for ten minutes, reached the GYM and guess what? it looked exactly like the BROOKLYN GYM where LOU FERRIGNO was workin’ out in PUMPING IRON…. got my gear on and got started. I will go on posting my routine as I proceed day by day…

Highlight of the day: I was really exhausted throughout the first half of the workout, totally exhausted!! I am not used to  workin’ out in this weather condition, the temp is about 15degress Celsius and the OXYGEN is pretty low here than the plains  so after my first set of bench press, I  was dizzy and pukey, so I went out PUKED a bit, rinsed my mouth and then got back in PUMPING AGAIN!! damn that felt good!!

DAY-2

yesterday was my back day but I wasn’t feeling too good coz I was suffering from indigestion… lol had too much of PORK the other day, anyway I didn’t have anything all day and I was feeling pretty ok by the evening so just before I went to the gym I had chocolate biscuit and a chocolate caramel bar, guess what? it worked..

BEST OF LUCK JAY!!!

Well first of all CONGRATULATIONS TO DEXTER JACKSON, and we all know why!!

As for JAY, I hope he comes in BIGGER and HARDER next year to TAKE what’s his YEAH!! Personally I am disappointed but as a whole I think the IFBB OLYMPIA judges made the right decision… I hope it continues throughout….

Anyway so gettin’ back to my daily update….

Yesterday was my day off (sunday) and today I went back to the gym and did my chest and shoulders. I only had Barbells and dumb bells to work with, as I have already mentioned before that the GYM is being shifted to a better place and they have invited me specially because I am their ‘the only’ GUEST member and they really like me being around. I guess that’s what TRIPLE-H meant by sayin’ ‘one must earn respect in the gym’ to be popular. I certainly earned their respect by my HUMBLE nature and because of my sincere training…

You guys and gals might wanna go to the given links below. I kinda stumbled upon it a few days back and I was pretty impressed by its detailed calculation. Even if its not accurate, it is very close to accurate and it also distributes your bodyweight in fat, muscle weight, bone weight and water weight…

personally I think the first link will give you more accurate percentage
