Jay Cutler Discusses Dwayne Johnson, TRT, and Steroid Misconceptions in Film: ‘Everyone’s Protocols Are Different’
In a recent appearance on the Factz Podcast, former Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler shared his thoughts on a variety of topics related to the bodybuilding industry. One of the key topics he addressed was the use of performance-enhancing drugs, particularly testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Cutler noted that while TRT has its benefits, each individual’s protocol is different and should be monitored closely. He also spoke about the stigma surrounding steroid use in the film industry and how it is often portrayed inaccurately.
In addition to these topics, Cutler also discussed his experiences with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and how he was able to offset his wide waist through building his legs and shoulders, which helped create a more aesthetically pleasing x-frame.
“It’s just really hard to compare the physiques, the structure is usually different. The smaller waist, I wasn’t blessed with a super small waist so I had to really offset by building my legs outwards and my shoulders outwards to make that x-frame.”
Cutler believes that bodybuilders of today possess greater size than those from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s era, due to the availability of equipment, food, and PEDs.
“As you know, the guys got a lot bigger than in Arnold’s day. Food, you know, equipment, drugs, everything. The science has become a lot deeper but at the same time, guys have paid great money to do this for a living, sponsors, the supplement game is huge, it’s a big support of sports and nutrition for the industry. So guys can get paid to literally eat sleep and train. That’s their job,” Cutler said.
“Oh, I can look at someone [and tell right away] yes. I can tell,” said Cutler. “The truth is I feel like diets and everything else, many guys can really dominate without having to struggle as hard if that makes sense.”
According to Cutler, there exist fallacies surrounding the utilization of TRT/steroids, and he emphasized that the substances did not affect his behavior negatively.
“No. It [steroids] wasn’t like that. Usually, the build up, that’s the thing with the films and everything, they portray like a guy takes a shot of testosterone and he gets aggressive; that’s a misconception. I can tell you that. It never made me crazy. And listen, we talk about TRT which is popular now and I know there’s a lot of accusations of who or who isn’t on TRT. Obviously, Dwayne’s name comes up a lot and whatever else.”
“Like I said, all my blood tests and I was very monitored. I had – my ex-wife was a nurse practitioner, so she was very up to speed on like what the protocols were and what we needed to test. Blood work can only show so much.”
Cutler shared his perspective on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s potential use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) when he was asked about it during an interview.

“He doesn’t ever go out there and to give him some sort of respect factor, like he doesn’t go out there and say I’m natural. He just doesn’t talk about it. You know, I know his work ethic, I would figure that at his age, I mean it’s so common, that a lot of people are on TRT. What he does is number one his business. I come out and say, ‘Hey I’m on TRT.’ Because let’s be real: looking at my physique at the wildly muscled look of 300 pounds and I was winning Olympias at 270, if I claimed I was natural, you would have killed me.”
“Everyone’s protocols are different. So guys genetically don’t have to use what other guys may have to use.”
“You had different compounds that kind of would be thrown into a protocol and not everyone would use the same thing but your base would basically be testosterone and then you just, nutrition would have to be on point, and you give yourself four months to get in the best shape possible.”

“I was overly big, I wouldn’t have been attracted to it, remember, I was married for most of my career. And my whole goal was to be the best bodybuilder,” Cutler said. “In the beginning, Arnold was. Honestly, Van Damme and Stallone were my first heroes. I just thought their physiques were unbelievable at the time.”
“He [Ronnie Coleman] arguably, people question but probably the greatest ever. Arnold obviously, he’s huge. But Coleman had a crazy physique but for me, the first couple were like wow I’m actually second-best. I hate the term you’re the first loser because you’re still right there, right. You’re kind of in line, the problem is there was a curse in bodybuilding where a guy that places second — he usually doesn’t win. So, that was a curse and I actually broke that curse.”
