Early life

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. [3] His "first heroes" growing up were Jean-Claude Van Damme and Sylvester Stallone. [4] 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.

Career

Cutler was inspired to enter bodybuilding by personal trainer Marcos Rodriguez. His first contest was the 1992 Gold's Gym Worcester Bodybuilding Championships, at which he took second place. Desiring to be one of the largest competitors ever, he had his first overall win at the 1993 Iron Bodies Invitational. As he established a name for himself in the bodybuilding scene, he often appeared in bodybuilding-related 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. [5] 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, [6] 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 non-consecutive years after defeating the reigning champion Dexter Jackson in 2009. [7] He is still the only person to win the title back after losing it. [7] His 2009 Olympia win is also when he did his famous "quad stomp" pose. [8] 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 Mr. Olympia. [9]

Throughout his career, Cutler has been 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 other business ventures through social media. In 2021, he was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame. [10] [11]
