Gotta go Cutler here all day everyday and twice on SUNDAY! Depends on what you like though. I like the clean looking builders...not the Branch look.But many like the Branch look. Branch looks badass just not the look I aspire to. As for the gear, you cant be there without it so it is assumed. The guys have to make a living and unfortunately all the bullshit on the market is the most effective way to do that. If a few hundred thousand people buy that crap as they work there way up the ladder and discover the "real deal" then so be it. As to not admitting it, you have to understand it from a branding standpoint. To admit it (the gear) kills their brand and the supp companies would simply not value their endorsement as much and they might even find themselves in a scandal of sorts. As a business minded person and a life long self employed person I understand, like it or not this is a business and you will either make it or you wont. Making it unfortunately includes hiding the dirty little secret that so many dont understand. I was pissed too when I found out you had to have the gear to bust through that last wall and open all the new doors but I eventually came to the understanding, life sucks. You adapt and move on. As to "the look", Cutler trains toward the scoring system in Olympia and is not there by accident. He studies those points body part by body part and tries to adapt in the same way the others do ...he is just better at it. Now if the system was designed to be who looks better from the street view or who can beat butter beans ass then Cutler would not be the one I don't think. The system is evolving and it dictates what it wants and Cutler and all the guys for that matter try to give it what it wants, they are just the lap dogs looking for the big prize. Mariusz looks good and is good, not even close to the Olympia standard. Way too many points away in proportion....not even close. By the way, the reason you don't see Cutler using the mega weights and slingin like a wild man, he has too much to protect and little to prove. He did train Branch style at one time but one major tear and you and your brand loses millions. Its just being responsible, rest assured he can still sling the giant weight. Mariusz has everything to gain and nothing to lose so its balls to the walls all the time....Same with Branch, can't get over that hump and willing to train like a wild man to get the attention. Hell I like Green too but I honestly think Olympia is not ready for a pony tail and I don't blame them honestly. This is man country, man up or get used to runner up placing! lol End game is simple...Mariusz beats Jay at many things, Olympia is not one of them!
