The realm of bodybuilding has witnessed scores of rivalries, on-stage conflicts, and cut-throat competition between copious bodybuilders. However, history is a witness to the eternal friendship between Jay Cutler and Phil Heath. In the world of fitness enthusiasts and bodybuilders, their generosity, friendliness, and cordiality have never been witnessed before. The legends have known each other for over a decade.
A few days ago, Jay Cutler posted a picture on his Instagram account showing the 7x Mr. Olympia and Cutler posing together.

A throwback reel on Instagram defining years of friendship, familiarity, and support. These scribbles are still not enough to define their more than cordial relationship. Phil wishes his friend by quoting, “I know you’re up and have already done fasted cardio, ate 1.5cups of egg white 2 egg yolks with three slices of turkey bacon with two slices of Ezekiel Bread with absolutely no fuckin butter (just the low cal butter spray) because Jay Muthaf**kin Cutler doesn’t cut corners unless it’s him driving his cars fast hahaha😂”. Heath’s little try to make his friend’s day a happy one spells out and elucidates the twelve years they have shared together by sticking with each other through thick and thin.

Phil, also known as the gift, picks up the threads from their voyage and writes, “ What a ride and it continues on Brother. May you feel the love near and of course from afar as you continue to inspire millions!” Two decades back, when the gift was debuting as light and heavyweight, wherein Cutler was a guest poser at NPC North Colorado after clinching the Arnold Classic title for the second time, the duo met. Call it a twist of fate or serendipity, but guess the ruthless world of bodybuilding was bestowed with an eternal bond at that very moment, which was beyond competitiveness and rivalry.
“I am so thankful we met April 4, 2003 as it was one of the most defining moments in my life,” Phil ends the birthday note with a grateful remark by confessing how lucky he is to have Cutler as his friend with a boatload of delightful time spent together.
