Jay Cutler (born Jason Isaac Cutler August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA) is an American bodybuilder, who currently holds the title of Mr. Olympia. He most recently competed at a weight of 286 pounds and 3% bodyfat^[1] 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.

In 2001, Jay finished runner-up to Ronnie Coleman at the Mr. Olympia contest. This was a controversial decision because many in the industry felt the title should have gone to Cutler^[2], who was leading on points after prejudging (muscularity and symmetry), but failed to maintain the lead in the posing rounds.

Jay finally won the Mr. Olympia title in 2006 after 3 straight (4 overall) years of finishing runner up to Ronnie Coleman, who had won the previous 8 years in a row (1998-2005). Cutler has also won 3 Arnold Classic Titles (2002-2004). Cutler has stated he will return to defend his Olympia title in 2007.

Cutler has been featured in many fitness and bodybuilding magazines, including being on the cover of FLEX magazine. He has three brothers, Bob, Keith, and Randall. He also has three sisters, Kelly, Joyce, and Ami. He currently resides in Las Vegas with his wife Kerry and two dogs.
