This may be just my lack of experience but I think there were people aesthetically better, although I will admit his condition is awesome and he has made lots of improvements from looking at the pictures. But with Jay, my eyes keep drifting back to his waist and, to me, it is large. I try to not have a biased opinion of any bodybuilder, and I think from the pictures Jay Cutler may have been top 5, but some of the others Phil Heath, Kai Greene, Branch Warren, and Dexter Jackson are awesome and had a legit chance at winning.
