“Had to Re-Attach the Muscle”: Jay Cutler Details How He Overcame His Workout Fear After Tearing His Biceps in 2011

Jay Cutler is one of the most recognizable names in the bodybuilding circuit. With a career that spanned over two decades, Culter won 4 Mr. Olympia titles and several other Grand Prix trophies. But with that unmatched feat comes the odds. Significantly, just like any other bodybuilder, he too faced dreadful injuries while getting ready for the coveted stage of Mr. Olympia. Although that couldn’t meddle with his determination.

Recently, the IFBB legend shared a beautiful insight on his Instagram while mentioning his terrible accident due to muscle damage, weeks before 2011 Mr. Olympia. He had to face a difficult time and stopped working out for some time. But as an epitome of resilience and dedication, Cutler got back to his life after taking proper care of his torn arm.

Jay Cutler didn’t bend before his injury

Cutler was getting ready for Mr. Olympia in 2011, to defend his title. But unfortunately, three weeks before the event, he met with an awful injury and tore his biceps. With only weeks left to the competition, he had to undergo surgery and was under physical therapy for six weeks. However, Cutler didn’t back out from the event and participated while tolerating his pain.

Mentioning the same event, the IFBB pro recently shared a video on his Instagram where he advised others that injuries can happen often, but that shouldn’t curb their determination. “Do not be afraid to get back in the gym,” wrote the 4-time Mr. Olympia in the caption. Culter shared, “Muscle injuries, now we all go through this. I was training for over 30 years and actually injured my biceps towards the end of my career. 2011, training for Mr. Olympia, I was three weeks out. I tore my upper bicep…”

Then the 49-year-old icon talked about the process he had to undergo at that time, “I had surgery, I had to re-attach the muscle. It did take about six weeks, I had to wear a sling, and I was back in the gym training easy…”. Lastly, the legend asked the listeners never to give up saying, “Do not be afraid to get back in the gym. I was back full capacity training and actually got back on stage and competed…”

He came back again to rule the stage

As the former Mr. Olympia said in the video, he didn’t let the muscle injury hinder his mindset and appeared on the stage in 2011. Even though Cutler couldn’t keep his winning streak intact, he ended up as a runner-up, losing it to Phil Heath that year.

In fact, to overcome the fear that was generated due to the injury, the American bodybuilder made a comeback again in 2013 and secured 6th place onstage Mr. Olympia.
