Set to begin on March 2nd at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio Expo Center; the competition is highly sought after. Nodding in agreement with Cutler, Milos said, “Very disappointing, almost unthinkable for me. The question is, how is this even possible that only six people are interested in entering the second biggest contest in the world.” Milos also questions how bodybuilders are missing out on the competition.

Cutler’s take on Arnold Classics

It’s been years since Jay graced professional bodybuilding. Though Arnold Classics was never on his mind, Cutler does not regret participating in the competition. Instead, Cutler was thankful for being able to attract the unprecedented fan following he received after participating in the Arnold Classics over the years. Following Arnold Classic, Cutler eventually went on to grab the Mr. Olympia title after defeating 8x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. In other words, Arnold Classic served to be the stepping stone of his career.

Since his days of participation, a lot of things have changed. For those unversed,  prize money for this year’s competition stands raised. The stage will also see a new set of participants. Brandon Curry, the 2022 Arnold Classic winner, had already announced that he would not return to the stage.
