Jay Cutler
Cutler was inspired to enter bodybuilding by personal trainer Marcos Rodriguez.
Desiring to be one of the largest competitors ever, he had his first overall win at the
1993 Iron Bodies Invitational. His first contest was the 1992 Gold's Gym Worcester
Bodybuilding Championships, at which he took second place. As he established a
name for himself in the bodybuilding scene, he often appeared in bodybuildingrelated videos including Battle for the Olympia 2001, a pre-contest documentary
video directed by Mitsuru Okabe that highlighted many competitors as they
prepared for the 2001 Mr. Olympia Competition.[3] He went on to win
consecutive Arnold Classic titles in 2002, 2003, and 2004, and placed second
to Ronnie Coleman in the Mr. Olympia competition four times before claiming the
title for the first time in 2006.
At the 2001 Mr. Olympia, Cutler tested positive for banned diuretics,[4] but sued
and had his second-place finish reinstated.[verification needed] He won the
Olympia for a second consecutive year in 2007. He became the third Mr. Olympia in
history (after Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu) to win the title in nonconsecutive years after defeating the reigning champion Dexter Jackson in 2009. In
2010, he won his fourth Mr. Olympia title, defeating Phil Heath. In 2011, he was
runner-up to Heath at the Mr. Olympia. In 2012, he was unable to compete at the
Mr. Olympia due to a biceps injury. He placed sixth in the 2013 Olympia.[5]
Throughout his career, Cutler has been featured on the cover of fitness magazines
such as Muscle and Fitness, Flex, and Muscular Development. He has not
competed since 2013 and has instead focused on Cutler Nutrition, his bodybuilding
supplement business, as well as promotions and other business ventures
through social media.
Jason Isaac Cutler was born in Worcester, Massachusetts on August 3, 1973. He
grew up in nearby Sterling and attended Wachusett Regional High
School in Holden. He began working in his brother's concrete construction
business, Cutler Bros. Concrete, when he was 11 years old. He started training to
be a bodybuilder at the age of 18. He graduated from Quinsigamond Community
College in 1993 with a degree in criminal justice, intending to work as a corrections
officer for a maximum security prison.
Roonie Coleman
Ronnie Dean Coleman (born May 13, 1964) is an American retired professional
bodybuilder. The winner of the Mr. Olympia title for eight consecutive years, he is
widely regarded as either 'the greatest' or one of the two greatest bodybuilders of all
time along-with Arnold Schwarzenegger[4][5][6] and as the most dominant
bodybuilding physique ever to grace the stage.[7] Winner of 26 IFBB professional
titles, he is also renowned for his combination of size and conditioning,[8] dominant
body-parts[9][10] and extremely heavy workouts,[11] making him the strongest
bodybuilder and Mr. Olympia of all time
Ronnie Dean Coleman was born in Monroe, Louisiana, on May 13, 1964.[2] He
graduated cum laude from Grambling State University in 1984 with a BSc in
accounting.[14] While there, he played football as a middle linebacker with the GSU
Tigers under coach Eddie Robinson. After graduation, he failed to find work as an
accountant and instead went to work at Domino's Pizza, where he would eat the
complimentary pizza every day due to being so poor that he could barely afford to
eat outside of work.[15] He then became a police officer in Arlington, Texas, serving
as an officer from 1989 to 2000 and a reserve officer until 2003
With his trademark high-pitched voice, some of the vocal gimmicks Coleman
popularized in his training videos have become commonplace in the global
bodybuilding community, especially after the advent of viral videos.[31] The most
popular of these, which he regularly shouted to himself as a form of selfencouragement, include "Yeah buddy!", "Light weight, baby!", and "Ain't nothin' but
a peanut!
Coleman is a devout Christian.[33] He met French-Lebanese personal trainer
Rouaida Christine Achkar at a sports exposition in Paris in March 1998,[34] and
they were married in Beirut on December 28, 2007. They divorced soon after.
[citation needed] Coleman married American personal trainer Susan Williamson on
April 11, 2016.[35] They reside in Arlington, Texas, and have four children together.

In June 2020, Coleman revealed that he can no longer walk unassisted due to
botched surgical procedures.[36] Saying that he may never walk again, Coleman
blamed his problems on questionable surgeries and noted that his last 3 surgeries
cost a total of $2 million.
