bodybuilding diet day by day

[music] i always say to people aboutthe mentality of a bodybuilder, you have to have--something hasto be triggered inside of you. you can't be normal. you know, you have to havethat satisfaction of never being satisfied because youalways want to be better. you always wanta better physique. you have to push yourselfbeyond limitations. you look at some guys thatpotentially could be the best

physiques in the world but theydon't have the mental capability to push themselves. mentally, you have to be,i think, a little crazy. you don't understandthe benefits of being a normal person 'til you look at someonelike me, who, you know, can't buy clothes off the shelf, can'teat normal places to eat, can't ride in certain size cars, can'tride in certain size airplane seats, going to hotels overseasstaying in small beds, trying to fit in small showers.

it's hard to shop, it's hardto go out to eat, it's hard to travel. so i mean, whenyou're 290 pounds, it's very difficultto do a lot of things. you know, you're so abnormal, imean, as compared to what people are used to seeing, people laugh'cause they just never see anyone so huge, you know. it's hard to hide it. and i'm, you know, i don'twear big baggy clothes.

a lot of times, i wear moreform-fitting stuff and, you know, people don't--it's not the norm. you have certain places whereyou grow up and you're like, "i want to be there." i mean, this is oneof those places. i came to vegas forthe first time in '97. i fell in lovewith it, you know? and that was before it was builtup even the way it is now. but what other place can you goand 24 hours a day you just wake

up and decide i want to go dothis or i want to go do that? like, i want to eat. i want to go work out. i want to go seea movie, you know, i want to go to the supermarket. i want to go eat at thisrestaurant, you know? it's just--you can do anythingyou want, pretty much. you can have sushi'til 6 in the morning. i don't know any place inthe world really that does that

you know, on a consistent basisthat you can do that stuff. i like the fast tempo of vegas. i couldn't live ina slow environment. people always ask me, "are youever gonna move back to--" i could never go back tothe slow pace, you know? people ask me, "how do youtrain and focus in vegas when there's so many outsidethings pulling at you?" and i think that i thrive onthat, i love to be able to know that most people can't do that.

i mean, i love to be able tohave that at my fingertips even though i never takeadvantage of it. it gives me more drive, beingin a place that's so actively just crazy and i'm stillso focused on what i do. it's kind of like the oppositethinking a little bit, you know? here we are. what's up, guys? what up? what's going on, man?

all right, pull ups. shirts off. kelly, you're gettingall swelled up. got to do somethingfor the olympia. got to put bodybuilding.comin the back of my head. jay cutler, trainer. yeah, it's been overa couple some months. so we're takingit down again? just like we did last time?

yeah, and you've gotto shave my face too. keep it tight? yeah, yeah. just a little tight, you know. tight at the bottom,nice and clean, like. like a taper, right? you know, i find myselfnowadays i don't even touch my hair in the morning. i get up.

that's what my hair looks like. then i jump in the pool. traveling and being jay cutler, it's not an easy thing. everywhere you go, you'renoticed and, of course, you're in demand. people say, "what doyou do for a living?" i said, "i eat, sleep,and train and that's it." i kind of joke like that becauseit does seem like that a lot of times but there is somefun built in there.

but i never looked at myself andsaid, "i'm so obsessed," because i always seem to have some sortof balance in there and i always realized that this is a careerand, obviously, if you go at it full tilt all the time, you'regonna burn yourself down so you have to set a certainpace for yourself. to the point where you'recontinually moving forward and being great. very good or you wantsomething else on top? no, that's good, right.

it's good. want some gel? no, no, no. i'm gonna take ashower and clean up. the olympic chair. larry, i need your help. what's going on with the shirts? i just calledkevin, actually. so he is gonna call me back.

everything shouldbe done this week. i know, but "thisweek" meaning what? tomorrow,wednesday the latest. i would, honestly, ibelieve they're done. usually, like, ishow up at, like-- when he wants to. between--no, 9 and 10. when he wants to show up. nine and ten.

i don't-- it depends if he goesout the night before. no, i don't evengo out anymore. i just work at night, that's it. every day it'sdifferent, you know? i say, "pay this bill." okay, you've got to call thesepeople and, you know, it's, literally i sit in the kitchenand i scream to him, "hey," you know, "dothis, do that," you know?

so he's trying to do a job thatprobably takes three or four people and, for a 21-year-oldkid to be able to do that, like, i mean, it takesa lot of his time. he works 6 days a week atleast, you know, sometimes 7. you know, when you thinkyou've seen someone work hard, like, "oh, man, he works hard." and then you meet someone likejay and you're like, "this is a whole'nother ball game." you know, it's not like we'reoperating a huge operation

over here. i mean, running out of my houseand my garage and, yes, there's a lot of space but, you know, wehave day-to-day things that we need to get done and i'monly home on certain times. i traveled this year extensivelyand we had 1 or 2 days to get stuff done when i was home andwe rely on other people and it's impossible to do that sowe try to do everything, you know, on our own. what did i overnight that?

i never overnight anything. i know you liketo spend money, dude. i see how much it cost. it cost 35 bucks tosend a damn poster. no, it doesn't. what are you talking-- it cost you 35 bucksto have one poster cost. no, it didn't. i saw it.

did i not see it? no it didn't cost me $35. i'll show you right now. what did i say aboutthat poster that day? don't lie. yeah, i did seethat it said that. oh, you said thati have no choice. that's what they choose. whoa.

what day--was it aposter in a large box? no, it's a poster. by itself? yes. and it cost $35? okay, i'll pull it up rightnow and if it's $35, then you can have my check. you can have my whole check. it's gonna comeout of your pay.

don't start, monique. i'm in a bad mood that evenlarry said i came out in a bad mood this morning. and that's the thing, you runwith the crew and there's time when we play and there'stime when we work. and this is all business now. i mean, this is--i admithalf my life is play time, three-quarters of my life isplay time but when it comes down to get the business andthe business is now, i mean,

there's no--we haveno time for fun. you know, i've beena four-time champ, you know, and i've been 6-time runner-up and i'm the greatestbodybuilder ever. there's no question. i feel that i'm the greatest. i still want to compete at mybest even at the age i'm at and, you know, people say"past your prime." i mean, i don't know ifthere's any past your prime.

when i'm still competitive youdon't want to think about that. you're not gonna go and do ashow and say, "well, i'm past my prime, i'm just doing it forthe, you know, just to stand up there." that's not how an athlete or achampion bodybuilder, you know, trains for acompetition or things. they always want to think aboutwinning and being the absolute best. there is nofailure at this point.

i mean, i've done it all. there's never gonna be a daythat passes that i'm gonna step out and people are gonna--aren'tgonna know who jay cutler is. i don't see it ever happening. ron, what's up? oh, no... i'm back in vegas for the weekand i think dave's coming next--this coming weekend. he's gonna shoot some trainingstuff and then i shoot with

bernell next week, ithink, for some features. hey, what's the name of thatpizza place next to kyzen? i like more lounge-typeplaces like hyde lounge at bellagio. monique? or tryst at the wynn. no, i don't go to strip clubs. i got a stripperpole in my bedroom, i don't need strip clubs.

you know, when youhave, like, you know, 30-something-inch thighsand you've got, you know, 22-1/2-inch arms and you'vegot a 19-inch neck and a broad shoulder, it's difficult to findthings other than tank tops and shorts. everything's custom. i mean, i can't fitinto normal sleeves. obviously, the dress shirts aretailored, you know, like, the button-up shirts.

my suit jackets, i think, are 58or 60 or something like that. i mean, it's crazy. if you look at what'sconsidered an ideal drop to a manufacturer of suits,it's a 6-inch drop. that's the difference betweenyour chest and your waist. i've got some guys that, youknow, are fairly serious bodybuilders and they'vegot a 10-inch drop. and jay has 20. it kind of defies the physics ofwhat you can do with fabric,

you know, in a constructed senseto go from here to here. right, jay, youready to go to work? i won't stopand tell you now. i'll remember. okay. fifty-four and youwere fifty-seven. that's a big difference. feet together. wow, that's about5 inches less, jay.

that's pretty serious. i won my first olympiaheavier than i weigh right now. i was competing againstronnie, you know, at 273. i mean, when i came backand won in 2009 i was 254. it's all illusion, you know? thirty-seven. actual thigh, twenty-nine. nineteen. go ahead and flex.

twenty-one-and-a-half. you've lost a lot of weightso we're gonna be doing some different things here. this thing'll be fullby the end of the day. yeah, it's hard to hide it. you know, that's the one thingabout being a professional bodybuilder, is where otherpeople can hide, you know, athletes, unless they're,like, real, real famous faces. you just can'thide the physique.

i mean, and the thing is is,like, you know, a lot of bodybuilders change fromon-season to off-season. like, i don'tchange a whole lot. i'm pretty much visible. the hair's the same, the facestays the same, you know? and you know, i'm a unique lookfor a lot of the bodybuilders, you know? you know, there's not a lot ofhuge, you know, big, blond, white guys, you know?

oh, look at all those zits. i'm gonna pop 'em after. how bad has itgrown in now. my god. bad? you're like a chia pet. you know, i never had hair onmy back until i started shaving, you know that? when i got ready for my firstshow when i was 18, it's like

when i started shaving my back,it's like i turned into a gorilla. larry told me to do nair. less fuss. i'm gonna tell him hehas to shave my armpits. yeah [laughing] hey, larry! i need your help. larry!

dude, i need you toshave my armpits. oh, no. god, you're good, she's good. you sure? yeah. no, look at my armpits. there's nothing in there. and my lowerback, you did too? you know, when you're my sizeyou never think you're small.

like, i like the way i look now. you know, i'm always in decentshape and i always check myself out. i never look at my face though. i mostly look at the physique,you know, and flex the abs and, ha, ha. ah, ah, right there. as you've seenthe progression in almost 50 years of bodybuilding inthe mr. olympia competition,

you know, we saw the days ofarnold where they weren't so conditioned or so big andnowadays, i mean, the guys are so big, they're so conditioned. there's so many variables andbodybuilding has become so scientific and trying to tunethe body into, you know, show the best conditioningwith the most size. ah, am i getting too big? you know, bodies aren't madeto be as strong as i guess that mr. olympia competitors become.

[rifle firing] [laughing] jay, man, i'm gonna give youa safety briefing before we go on the range. we're gonna treat every gun asif it's loaded at all times, even if you know it's unloaded. always keep your trigger fingeroff the trigger 'til you're on target and ready to fire. and always keep the gunpointed in a safe direction.

pretty crazy. if at any time, you hearsomeone call out, "cease fire," please stop shooting. take your finger offthe trigger, put the gun down on the counter and stepback away from it. put your body weight forward. it helps you toabsorb the recoil. you're a gangster. i know.

single shot, full auto. [pistol firing] you can never teachanyone training advice. it's always the business. 'cause everyone wantsto make the money. they want to be a superstarand look like a superstar. the magazines expose you asa superstar because you're featured with the musclesand the look, you know, but financially theywant the back-up of that

and that's what i have. i have all the tools to createthat and a lot of people have come to me for that opportunity. yeah, we may stumble but wealways land higher and get to where we need to be. even when i was smaller, i hateto say small but i'd look at these guys and still say, "i'mstill the best and still the greatest and still th6ebiggest name in bodybuilding." stack 'em is the show.

come on. let's go, jay, come on. suck it up, suck it up,suck it up, suck it up. people approach me and theysay, "jay, what's the secret? what's the secret?what's the secret?" i don't like to eat anything. if you ask me whatmy favorite food is, i don't have a favorite food. i don't look forwardto any meal at all.

bodybuilding diet day by day,

you're a living legend, that's what's amazingabout what i do. jay cutler! and i tell you, jay cutler'sthe greatest of all time.
