When Jay Cutler defeated the reigning Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, at the 2006 International Federation of Bodybuilders event, many lauded him as the next coming, as he dethroned the eight-time champion. Six years and four titles later, Cutler has captivated the bodybuilding world and, subsequently, helped change the culture of professional bodybuilding into a growing market of fitness-related products and personalities.
Losing the 2011 Mr. Olympia title to friend and training partner Phil Heath, Cutler was gracious, giving all due respect to the new champion, though he was disappointed in his defeat. Since then, numerous rumors have spread that he would be hanging up the oiled trunks and riding off into the sunset. Many have since speculated that his career may very well be over and that he has no chance of regaining his luster as "Mr. O."
Cutler has fought through this adversity before. In 2008, he lost his crown to Dexter Jackson, only to rebound in 2009 to regain the title. This marked the first time in history that a defending champion lost and regained the title the following year. Upon his comeback, Cutler looked more impressive than any in the sport had ever imagined he could.
The pressure on Cutler to remain at the forefront of the bodybuilding world is immense. Likewise, so is the amount of adversity he must face. He will be 39 years old near the time of the competition. Though he would be younger than Coleman was when he won in 2003, the competition is getting better. Notable competitors, such as Heath, Kai Greene and Evan Centopani, are already making waves in the industry, vying for a claim to Cutler's throne, at the top of professional bodybuilding.
Further compounding issues, such as a deteriorating quadriceps and a torn bicep, also led to speculation that he may not be able to overcome the wear and tear of years of rigorous training. Recent photos show how devastating the injury to his bicep is.
In a recent comment on Twitter, Cutler shunned critics by stating that he would be back and better than ever in 2012. Should he be successful, it would only serve to heighten his already-proven legacy as one of the biggest names in the history of the sport and raise the bar, once again, for the rest of the industry to aspire toward.
