Jay Cutler Claims He Could Transform Regan Grimes Into Mr. Olympia in Just One Year
Bodybuilding icon Jay Cutler is convinced that Regan Grimes possesses an immense competitive ceiling and has the potential to become a dominant force in the Men’s Open division.
Men’s Open contender Regan Grimes has been meticulously refining his physique during his off-season and has locked in his return to the competitive stage. In January, Grimes officially announced his participation in the prestigious New York Pro. Recognizing Grimes’ vast potential, four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler recently shared his belief that he could sculpt Grimes into a Mr. Olympia champion within a single year.
Grimes made a triumphant return to competition in 2023, securing an impressive victory at the Europa Pro Championships, which earned him a qualification for the 2023 Olympia. Despite facing a deep and ultra-competitive lineup, Grimes managed to land a ninth-place finish on bodybuilding’s biggest stage. This season, his primary objective has been packing on even more quality mass in preparation for a dominant resurgence in 2025.
Grimes has remained laser-focused on maximizing his muscle volume. In October, he revealed that his weight had surged to a massive 296 pounds, and he has since pushed even further beyond that benchmark.

Regan Grimes has been consistently providing weekly physique updates, showcasing his remarkable progress leading into the New York Pro. As of February, he tipped the scales at a colossal 327 pounds. Now equipped with the necessary size to contend with the elite, Grimes is working diligently to refine his conditioning and bring a world-class package to the stage.
“I think I’ve got the size now. It’s just like coming in at my best, 100%,” Grimes said.
Given Grimes’ current structure, muscle density, and aesthetics, Jay Cutler is confident that he has all the tools necessary to claim bodybuilding’s most coveted title. In fact, Cutler boldly asserted that if Grimes fully committed himself for just one year under his guidance, he could mold him into a Mr. Olympia champion.
“He needs to be locked up. If he locked up in my house for a year, he’d be Mr. Olympia.”
Grimes was previously featured in Generation Iron 3, a documentary that explored the journeys of multiple rising stars in the sport. The film provided an in-depth look into Grimes’ career as he debated whether to transition to the Classic Physique division or continue competing in Men’s Open. Ultimately, he chose to stay in the Open division, and his ongoing evolution suggests that his best is yet to come.
