He further explains that he eliminated all forms of sweeteners from his diet before entering the competition. As the competition approached, he completely restricted his food intake to liquids only. It was during this period that he felt prepared to go for the win. However, despite his efforts, Cutler was defeated in 2005. The following year, 2006, became a significant turning point in his bodybuilding career.

Jay Cutler shares his feelings about winning Mr. Olympia for the first time

In 2005, Cutler was defeated by his competitor, Ronnie Coleman. However, the revenge was well taken when Cutler beat Coleman just the year after in 2006. Having won the title 4 consecutive times in a row, it doesn’t even come to one’s mind that he would hate the victories. In a video, Jay Cutler revealed, “I hated winning Mr. Olympia because when I did win, I got a little comfortable. I always found that I wasn’t as motivated to win as I was losing.”
