Four-time Mr. Olympia and six-time runner-up Jay Cutler was recognized for his mind-blowing quads that highly impressed the judges during his bodybuilding days. Famously known as the quad stomper, Cutler’s 30-inch thighs were every aspiring bodybuilder’s inspiration. However, despite enjoying the popularity of his quads, there was one monster bodybuilder whose legs were a staggering concern for Cutler (Check out an image of the two in active competition). 

In an interview with 212 Olympia champ Flex Lewis, bodybuilding beast Jay Cutler expressed his impression of the bodybuilder from Down Under after he met him for the first time.

Jay Cutler wondered how what he saw was possible 

The bodybuilder in question was a teenager when he won IFBB Mr. Australia four times consecutively from the age of 16 to 19. He was also one of the few bodybuilders to have received their Pro Card at 20. A force to be reckoned with during his active days, the Australian’s sheer achievements highly speak for the insane physique he had. 

During the interview with Flex Lewis, Jay Cutler revisited the time when he first met this man in the Gold’s Gym in Venice. He explained that he would meet several pro bodybuilders while he prepared for competitions in the 1990s. However, nobody shocked Cutler with their physique, as the 2006 IFFB Pro winner did.

The four-time Mr. Olympia stated in the interview, “No one can ever blow your mind like Lee Priest looked when he was 21 years old.”

Cutler was starting with his bodybuilding career in the early 1990s. Hence, looking at Priest’s insane physique intimidated him to a great level. He further expressed, “I walked in the gym and I remember looking at him and saying, ‘how is that even possible?’ He could barely walk his legs were so big. I think he almost downsized as his career went on but he was massive.”

Cutler was amazed to see a bodybuilder who was so big and muscular. Although Lee Priest was 260 pounds, he was not fat. Basically, Cutler was flabbergasted to see someone a year older than him build an incredible physique.

5’4″ tall Lee Priest is one of those bodybuilders who never won Mr. Olympia, despite having a wonderful physique. Over the years, the veteran bodybuilder developed his outlook on the competition and once expressed why he did not like the idea of Mr. Olympia.

Lee Priest on the fault in Mr. Olympia competitions

In his entire bodybuilding career, Lee Priest attempted Mr. Olympia six times. Having gained a fair experience of the greatest bodybuilding competition, Priest found a practice in the competition unfair. 

During the 2003 Mr. Olympia, Lee Priest voiced his opinion against the prizing system of the competition. He stated that he found the practice to be unfair as the one who came in 15th or 16th would not receive the prize money despite working as hard as the recipient of the Sandow Trophy. As a solution, he demanded every athlete receive some amount of the prize money. 

Keeping aside his remarks on Mr. Olympia, one cannot deny that Lee Priest had the best of everything in his physique. So much so that it startled the four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.
