The bodybuilding world is full of iconic muscle builders who never fail to impress fans. Jay Cutler is one of them. He filled his journey in the sport with achievements and triumphs. Winning four Mr. Olympia titles, Cutler proved his expertise in bodybuilding. But again, he had to overcome many obstacles to reach the peak of his career. Apart from bodybuilding, Cutler was featured in several fitness magazines and also focused on business later on. 

While bodybuilding might be interesting and enthusiastic for many, it’s also a hazardous sport. Many big and famous bodybuilders passed away not long ago, creating a fear of bodybuilding among people. Former bodybuilding enthusiast Jay Cutler also threw his views regarding the same.

“I think people are just running scared at this point, think ‘Oh my gosh, bodybuilding is so dangerous.’ I think anything in life is, nutrition and whatever else, and we obviously push ourselves,” said the American in a podcast.
