Almost all of Jay's weaknesses aren't present here. Not only that, but the video quality is better here than many of the future shows (2001, and even 2009) It's a shame the cam angle isn't perfect because that last most muscular might be the best one Jay's ever hit.
He has said in many interviews how fortunate he was in 2001 to draw the number next to Ronnie so he could stand next to him in comparisons. He thinks he was way overlooked in 1999 and 2000, which I agree with. Luck of the draw.
@@TheForbiddenLean Here in 99 he was definitely overlooked, I always thought it was one of his best packages. In 2000 he was a lot softer and his waist had grown a few inches compared to 99 which made him start to look blocky overall.
In later years it would seem his muscle got more mature. His midsection and legs in particular are not at their best here, he seems to be holding a thin layer of water in his abs, and although he has less mass, and his waist is thinner, his abs actually are protruding a little more in this show. He has said that his abs were, "Never closer to my spine, than in 2001." Which I agree with. Jay is a very intelligent bodybuilder, and knows his weaknesses, such as the width of his midsection, which he also commented on, saying, "I over-developed my obliques, so I had to get wider." Many guys, like the King Ronnie Coleman, never had this level of competitive analysis, just a hard work ethic and pure, unadulterated, God-given genetics.
@@karimtemri1664 He was a rookie and the judges pissed on him. IMO this was THE best version of Jay Cutler. Massive, shredded, aesthetic and a small waist. Even his back was superior. Stop this vid @ :53. Legendary.
@@bigstink9 hmm but Jean Pierre Fux said in an interview that at the 1999 mr O he and Jay weren't looking good. And he knows how competitions are judged
@@karimtemri1664 idk to me it looks like he should definitely have placed top 5, imo he's beating flex in the front double, side chest, and back lat, could be matching him in the back double, can't compare a&t and st but if jay is comparable to no 2 f knows how they put him in 15th just like them putting victor martinez no 2 in 2007 or phil heath 3rd in 2008, judging has been alot more solid last decade at least
Obviously this isn’t the best “bodybuilding” version of Jay - but man if you could pick a Jay to look like this might be it. Everything looks so flared because his waist is so flat and trim. Everything looks just quality all over. When you see some pros before they managed to get freakish sized they just look beautiful. Look at Ronnie like 94-95. Nowhere near as big but his waist is tiny and everything looks so good healthy
I think he looked pretty good here. Great legs..great almost everything. Abs, mid section did not present as well as could have..which leads to what I think the main issue with this performance. His whole posing routine and music. A few awkward moments and the music did not lend itself to seamless transitions. Having said that, I’m pretty sure the actual judging happened earlier in the day. But the routine itself, and how well you are aware of your own ability in the actual presentation is very important in scoring. His physique could have gotten a top 10 with better overall presentation.
To be honest, Jay C should have come much better in the placement than that! This was so much politics and other crap that made it unfair to him. Both Dorian and Ronnie shouldn't have won, some Mr. Olympia, but they did it because of the wrong person involved. In a fairer world, Cutler would have had a much higher ranking, in my opinion!
This physique would win in today's time.
Best Jay Cutler ever. Perfect combination of mass and aestethics. This is what bodybuilding should be, forever and ever.

It’s a crime that he placed 14th. He looked mental
Not sure what was wrong with this physique ? Think he was way overlooked.

Jay always had a lovely smile.
What a fresh shape, shame injuries really distracted later on
Damn Jay's back never looked this good 1:49

He looked so good! Partly because he had a good tan - it's not all protan.
Damn look at his lats! they attached much lower in his youth
Ikr what happened?
@@kirayourshitkage3527 I m not sure. Microtearing? Same thing happened to Big Ramy
His lower back started declining after 2006.
No homo bro
Why not ‘yes homo’? Why always ‘no homo’? Ever thought about that?

Tan was great also.
His back looked good here

The lower back muscle jay cutler disappear in 2004
What happened to his back later?,its of the best backs here!
Hardbord
Looks top 3 material behind Flex and Ronnie there. How did he place 15th escapes me.
theye're all overlooked at their first olympia ...nothing personal between judges and him, they just pay more attention on old olympians.
Jay cutler 15th ??? Mr.Olympia 1999 top 5
so he used to hit most muscular properly....
