Jay Cutler Jay Cutler (born Jason Isaac Cutler August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA) is an IFBB American bodybuilder, who currently holds the title of Mr. Olympia. He most recently competed at a weight of 286 pounds and 3% bodyfat at the 2006 Mr. Olympia. During the off-season his weight reaches 310 pounds. Cutler started working in the family concrete construction business, Cutler Bros. Concrete, at the age of 11, and starting training when he was 18 years old as a senior at Wachusett Regional High School. His first contest was the 1992 Gold's Gym Worcester Bodybuilding Championships, at which he took second place. Before his first win in 2006, Culter had finished second to Ronnie Coleman several times. The closest competition, in terms of points, was in 2001, where Culter was leading on points after prejudging (muscularity and symmetry), but failed to maintain the lead in the posing rounds, which resulted in Coleman winning his fifth consecutive Mr. Olympia. Cutler finally managed to defeat Coleman - who was in line for his 9th title - in 2006 after 4 consecutive years of finishing runner up. As well as his 2006 Olympia title, Cutler has also won 3 Arnold Classic Titles (2002-2004). Cutler currently resides in Las Vegas with his wife Kerry.

Now for fun =P i can talk about womens who practice bodybuilding… Lenda Murray Lenda Murray (born February 22, 1962 in Detroit, Michigan) is a female bodybuilder from the United States . She is the world’s most successful female bodybuilder to date: an eight-time winner of the Ms. Olympia title, the highest achievement in professional female bodybuilding. BackgroundAt Henry Ford High School in Detroit, Murray was both a record-holding sprinter and varsity cheerleader. She went on to attend Western Michigan University, earning a degree in political science. While at Western Michigan, she continued to cheerlead, and became the first African American to be chosen as the university’s homecoming queen in 1982 (Todd, 1999). After a brief tenure cheerleading for the Michigan Panthers in the now-defunct United States Football League, Murray took to the bodybuilding stage in 1985. She rose quickly through the ranks, soon winning contests at the state and regional levels. In 1989, she earned her professional status at the IFBB North American Championships. Murray soon became a regular presence in bodybuilding magazines and a favorite subject of photographer Bill Dobbins who focused extensively on her in his books The Women and Modern Amazons. On November 24, 1990, Murray succeeded six-time champion Cory Everson to become Ms. Olympia, a title Murray would hold for most of the following decade. She appeared in such mass-market publications as Sports Illustrated, Ebony, Mademoiselle, and Vanity Fair, as well as in Annie Leibovitz’s photo essay Women. Murray’s physique became the standard against which professional female bodybuilders are now judged – an hourglass figure, with broad shoulders tapering into a V-shaped torso mirrored by a proportionally-developed lower body. Murray lost the Ms. Olympia title to Kim Chizevsky in 1997, and went into retirement after finishing second to Chizevsky again in 1998. However, after four years of retirement she returned to the Ms. Olympia stage, and won two more Ms. Olympia titles in 2002 and 2003. She finished second in the heavyweight class to Iris Kyle in 2004, and again retired from competition. Murray is married to Urel McGill and lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Murray has done color commentary for bodybuilding events on ESPN.
