Jay Cutler, the youngest of seven, was born Aug. 3, 1973 in Worcester, Mass., and currently resides in Las Vegas with his wife. Jay worked in his brother's concrete business from early childhood where he developed the physique that became the foundation for his bodybuilding career. It was during his studies at Quinsigamond Community College that he discovered bodybuilding, and began training on his 18th birthday in 1991. His training quickly led to competition. Just a year later, at the age of 19, he entered and won his first show at the Teen Nationals in Raleigh, N.C. But, it was 2003 that catapulted Jay's already soaring professional bodybuilding career to the next level where he claimed five victories and three second-place finishes in eight contests!

Jay "Cuts" Cutler is regarded as the best bodybuilder in the world, after having dethroned the previous eight-time Mr. Olympia in 2006, and again in 2007 to further solidify his reign as champion. As bodybuilding's most recognized and personable athlete, Jay will return this September for his fans and take the Olympia stage with more mass and better conditioning than ever before!
