Jay Cutler.

The bodybuilding world is full of names of people who have become real idols for many new bodybuilders, and not only. One of them is Jay Cutler.

The future “Mr. Olympia” was born on August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Jay spent his childhood not in Worcester itself, but in one of its suburbs – Sterling. The boy’s father held a fairly responsible position in the road administration, he was the boss. Mother worked as a financier in a military unit. The family in which Kats was born and grew up (his nickname) was large, consisting of 7 children, Jay was the youngest.

According to the bodybuilder himself, as far as he can remember himself in childhood, he was always very mobile, and it was an extremely difficult task for him to sit still. The boy loved to ride a bike, play a ball with friends. But just do not think that he devoted all his free time to entertainment. Jay was very economical and often helped his family on the farm. Having matured a little, he became an excellent assistant for his brother, who was in the construction business.

After graduating from high school in 1991, Jay went to college, and after 2 years he was promoted to assistant criminal judge. But let’s go back a little back to the 91st year, because it was during this period that a young man who turned only 18 years old became interested in bodybuilding.

It is likely that at first, Kats himself did not have the goal of becoming the outstanding bodybuilder of his time. At first, all of his training was aimed only at improving the physique. But everything changed after the first competition in his life – “Teen Nationals”, in which he became the full winner, taking first place. It was this event that became a turning point in his life – he decided to seriously engage in bodybuilding. I would like to note that then the guy was 19 years old. Everything was just beginning …

In 1994, something happened that later greatly influenced the life of a young bodybuilder. On his life’s journey, he met a man named Bruce Vartagnan, who was of immense help and support to Jay in all his endeavors, including bodybuilding and running a business.

The training continued. And in 1996 he won professional status in the Nationals competition. It should be noted that this happened to some extent, thanks to Jay’s personal nutritionist Chris Aceto.

The next year was not as fruitful as Kats decided to make a temporary stop in the competition. But this is only for 12 months. And soon he will be back in action.

In 1998, Jay re-enters the podium in the Night of Champions show and takes 11th place, but after 2 years he will take revenge and become the full winner of this prestigious championship. In the same 98th year, a very joyful event takes place in his life – a wedding with his beloved girlfriend Kerry.

In 1999, after participating in the Ironman Pro Invitational, he will be on the third step of the podium.

A year later, Jay tries to win the title “Mr. Olympia”. Unfortunately, he does not manage to become the first – he takes only 8th place. But this does not in the least darken the mood of the famous bodybuilder, and he continues his training with even greater persistence. And already in 2001 he received a reward for his work – 2nd place in the championship “Mr. Olympia”. But in 2006-2007, Jay will take this title.

Today Cutler lives with his wife in Las Vegas. He continues to improve in bodybuilding and is willing to fight to the end to prove that he is the best bodybuilder in the world.
