Abstract from article on Jay Cutler

[stu_20_uk]

"All I care about is October 30 - Mr Olypia," He says. "My life is winning and that's it"

For 14 weeks up to the event, Culter downs six pounds of fish a day. "Everytime I go to the bathroom, I shit oil," he says. "You can't imagine the stress of eating the same food at the same time every day. It's all you think about. For bodybuilders, dieting is the hardest thing you do."

But things don't get really crazy until the final push. "I didn't drink for three days before the 2001 Mr Olympia," Cutler says. "I was eating dry oatmeal; it's like sawdust. Your body has to pull fluid from somewhere to digest something so dry, so it pulls it from under the skin." The dehydration turns him into a vein-riddled, shrink-wrapped lump of muscle. "Your mouth is so dry you don't speak," he says. "You're walking on bones because you have no padding in your feet. You have no functioning skills whatsoever. You actually feel like you're going to die. But when you feel that way, its usually when you look your best."

There's no way he'd be able to eat dry oatmeal without drinking any water. It's like the old joke of "if you can eat these 5 crackers without taking a drink of water you win $20." It's impossible.

I agree.. seeing as I lost 20$

just wondering, how many think he's telling the truth about his pre-comp diet?

 

[P-funk]

I don't see why he would lie about that. it is not like he is saying what drugs heis taking.

6 meals a day and 16oz of fish each meal is not that much at really. especially if you are 280lbs.
