which says passion can
invariably
beat genetics, if at all you have it in you! What more can you say
about a person, who graduated in Criminal Justice but picked up bodybuilding
as a passion and went on to win around 26 contests from the
start of his bodybuilding career till 2008.

stepped
into this world on August 3, 1973 as Jason Issac Cutler. He hailed from
Worchester, Mass., where he had an extremely active childhood working
on his family’s concrete construction business and riding ATV’s.

Worcester
Bodybuilding Championship, Jay Cutler showcased his passion and
strength to his other competitors. Some of his bodybuilding titles
include NPC Iron Bodies Invitational (1993), NPC U.S. Tournament of
Champions (1995), IFBB

his credit the honor of becoming Mr.
Olympia in 2007, while in the
years 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008, he bagged the 2nd place. His

posing rounds. However, he won the title again in 2007 and in 2008, he
stood second to Dexter
Jackson.
