Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Jay Cutler those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Physique benchmark

How Jay Cutler measures up

Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.

35.0FFMI
35.1Normalised FFMI
45thOf 316 measured men

The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Derek Lunsford, at 34.7.

What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Jay Cutler sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Amateur and other shows not counted above

2 results from amateur shows and other contests this archive does not class as professional. Every total on this page covers the professional career only, so these are listed here but never counted, and they have no contest page.

In 15 meetings, Ronnie Coleman finished ahead of Jay Cutler 10 times to 5.

Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.

Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 32 professional contest results. It is published only where a career holds at least five, because below that a single placing moves the figure by twenty points or more.
