Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler‘s physique goals have changed ahead of his 52nd birthday. On June 12, 2025, in a recent YouTube video, he shared that his main intention is to downsize his physique with more focus on longevity and flexibility.
Cutler, always on the cusp of greatness, realized his full potential in 2006 against Ronnie Coleman. He cemented himself as the Mr. Olympia and, before calling it a career, managed to earn four Sandow trophies and three Arnold Classic titles.
Cutler’s last contest came in 2013 at the Mr. Olympia, where he secured sixth place. While he’s stepped away from the sport, he’s a bodybuilder at heart and continues to refine his physique. He transformed his body for his 50th birthday and now intends to prioritize longevity with a downsized physique at 52 years old.

“As many of you know, I’m not really working on the size game as much anymore. Just keeping the tone, keep the muscles active, flexibility is important for me. So I just want to make sure that I’m sticking to a routine that allows me not to be drastically sore the next day,” shared Cutler.
He revealed that continuing to downsize is one of his top goals in 2025.
“More importantly, I want to feel athletic if that makes sense. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a little lighter. I’m actually 226-227 now, which I know everyone comes up to me and is like there’s no way you weigh just that much, but I have downsized quite a bit and that’s the goal.”
Cutler explained that the purpose behind his supplements has changed with a greater focus on longevity.
“52 in August this year, so just trying to keep my health the most proactive thing. I always talked about the longevity,” he shared. “The supplements leading in different directions with more health aspects and longevity, it’s super important for me to live that lifestyle. Besides a perfect diet, the training has to be on point too, and of course, the sleep.”
Cutler has adopted various strategies in his fifties for improving his physique. Of late, he’s reincluded pyramid sets, which he credits for helping him build a bigger chest. Still training seven days a week, fans continue to learn from him inside the gym.
Cutler’s attention is on downsizing his physique ahead of his birthday. With flexibility and longevity being his main concerns, he hopes to improve his athleticism ahead of turning 52.
