Jay Cutler was born in Massachusetts on August 3, 1973. His parents were farmers, so that he got used to heavy physical work since childhood. The brother worked at the construction site and early began to attract Jay to help, so he was already a teenager easily raised a considerable weight.
At school, a strong young man was popular among classmates. Cutler was fond of football and thought to make it his career, but later refused this idea. In 1991, he graduated from school and entered the QUINSIGAMOND Community College, where he studied criminal law.
Training and bodybuilding
Jay began serious training only after the 18th anniversary. Bodybuilding he became interested in almost by chance: the boyfriend sisters collected sports magazines, and the world of professionals enchanting Cattler. He came to the hall to become like those guys with covers, and achieved his goal.
Prior to that, Jay had only irregular occupation experience. Deciding to take up the case seriously, he made a lot of typical mistakes of errors, overloading himself with many hours of daily workouts and extensive exercise sets, so it was not possible to achieve special success in the first year.
After that, Cutler decided to approach the case more thoroughly not with physical, but from a mental point of view. He interviewed all experienced athletes in his surroundings, read specialized literature and made a competent training program, constantly analyzing the successes and failures and carefully listening to his body. Such an approach quickly proved its effectiveness: already at 20, the Cutler spoke at the Junior tournament of the NPC Iron Bodies Invitational and became a champion in severe weight.
In 1995, Jay received the 1st place among lovers at the "Nights of the Champions", where he was advised to think about the career of a professional. This victory became the turning point of his biography. Judges's praise and their own successes inspired the Cattler, that he rushed to California, dreaming to join the "Tusovka" of famous athletes.
However, the society of recognized "stars" of bodybuilding quickly disappointed young enthusiast. Their lifestyle and workouts did not like himself, a friendly relationship did not have anything, and it was not to share his secrets at all. Jay returned home and firmly decided to work independently.
The next 2 years of persistent workouts brought excellent fruits: Cutler took the gold championship of the US National Championship and received a professional card. He still divened deeper into classes devoting to them all the time and thoroughly observing the diet, was not distracted even on a personal life.

This time, Jay settled not in Los Angeles, but in the small town of Lake Forest in the south of the state.
After moving the business, the athlete went uphill even faster. It increased the competitive weight from 113 to 120 kg, took prizes in Olympia and the Arnold Classic championship and took the honorable 2nd place in the worldwide ranking of bodybuilders after Ronnie Kolman.

For 3 years, Cutler made a world-famous professional from him, and after another 5 years, the student surpassed the teacher, who hesitated the title of the best bodybuilder of the planet.

To preserve weight and muscle mass, he had a lot. The bodybuilder diet included from 4,000 to 6,000 kcal daily: the athlete had to prepare often and all the time carry containers with meals, because the number of food meals reached 7 per day. Cutler complained that such a nutrition is a hard work, deprived of all pleasure, and his favorite dishes have long been no longer.
At that time, the Jay special program meant 2-4 days of training with subsequent 1-2 days of rest. For one lesson duration from 45 minutes before 3 o'clock, he managed to make sets to different muscle groups.
