The sport of bodybuilding is evolving every day. And with that evolution comes the changing approach toward the sport. Unlike in the 70s, today’s bodybuilders believe in resting more to gain more. Likewise, while some lean on to cardio to maintain overall body fat, some feel cardio can hinder muscle gain, thus excluding the exercise from their regime. Jay Cutler has recently iterated the same perspective.

In his latest social media update the 4-time Mr. Olympia revealed his take on doing cardio. Previously, the icon capped off his fitness goal before hitting 50. And for that, he wanted to get a bigger and more muscular stature which can certainly not be achieved by doing cardio. Thus, Cutler is planning otherwise. Let’s check out his take on doing the workout.

Jay Cutler is quitting cardio

In a recent YouTube video from his official channel, Cutler revealed his routine of omitting cardio from his daily workout routine. The IFBB pro further stated that he is going to start a phase where he wants to put on a size. And as he informed that the body is not reactive to the diet phase if one is beating it down so hard. Thus, this is high time for him to stop doing cardio.

However, while revealing his goal for the next few months, the former Mr. Olympia stated, “I don’t know what this shape is going to be once I hit August, but I know one thing. I’m gonna make a switch right now and just let the training do its thing to my body.”In fact, Cutler sounded pretty confident recalling his prime, “Then I’ll start really kind of fine-tuning, and if I feel like I need to add the cardio and I will. But as you know, I’ve done a million shows without doing cardio.”
