“Are You Out of Your Mind”: Pointing to When the “Unbeatable” Ronnie Coleman Lost to His Biggest Rival, IFBB Pro Coach Explains the Unpredictability of Olympia Results

The road to fame is a winding path fraught with uncertainties. One never knows when the underdog becomes the master of the game. With the Mr. Olympia Competition just a few weeks away, the debate surrounding success and failure is getting stronger. Moreover, fitness coaches and icons are analyzing the preparation level of this year’s title hopefuls. One such interaction happened on the social media of 4x Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler.

Earlier, in the 87th episode of Cutler Cast, IFBB pro coach Milos Sarcev, Manager Matt, and the mass monster engaged in a conversation. During the podcast, they referred to several topics, including Hunter Labrada’s recent win at the Tampa Pro, Cutler’s birthday, and the upcoming Mr. Olympia competition. 

Jay Cutler ended the winning streak of Ronnie Coleman

In the early minutes of the YouTube video posted on August 9th, the bodybuilding legends could not help but broach the topic of the upcoming competition, acknowledging that it was just 13 weeks away. The Quad Stomper also teased the Serbian coach that he might win “coach of the year.” However, the fitness icons did not take the name of the mentee, as if afraid they might jinx it. Furthermore, Sarcev says that he is “convinced that it might happen” as he is “super committed” and “zero in on the prize.” The mindful coach, who takes a scientific approach to training, then tosses a compliment at Cutler. 

“Okay, you competed before you dethroned unbeatable Ronnie Coleman. So if anybody would tell you back in the day, are you out of your mind? What are you gonna say?” quizzed Sarcev. “It’s kind of funny that people’s thought process or predictions or assumption is like, well, so and so placed X last year, so that means automatically they’re going to be there or they’re going to move,” said the Comeback Kid.

Cutler then takes the example of Hunter Labrada, Gustavo Badell, and many others whose performances dipped. Furthermore, the same thing also happened to the 8x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, who was hoping to win his 9th title in 2006. However, Cutler emerged as the winner, shocking the fitness world. Furthermore, the greatest onstage rivalry pushed the boundaries of the sport. It proved to the world that with determination and hard work, anything is possible.

Cutler touches the heart with his Olympia revelation

Jay Cutler, who had been coming second to the bodybuilding legend for years, turned the tide of time and cinched the trophy from the King. Thus ending the dream of Coleman, who could have broken Lee Haney’s record with his ninth crown. Coleman and Cutler were rivals, but they also shared a mutual admiration. Moreover, once the 4x, Mr. Olympia revealed that he was sad that the Kind could not continue his winning streak.

In true sportsman spirit, the CEO of Cutler Nutrition disclosed, “I didn’t beat the best Ronnie Coleman ever… I was just better that day.” It shows the humility of Jay Cutler and his love for bodybuilding. He respects the art of sculpting one’s body and the discipline required to achieve it. Furthermore, he gives due credit even to his competitors. Fame is as fickle as it gets in the competitive sport of bodybuilding. The next winner is just around the corner. Are you excited about Mr. Olympia 2023? Let us know in the comments.
