Set to begin March 2 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio Expo Center; the competition is very demanding. Nodding in agreement with Cutler, Milos said, “Very disappointing, almost unimaginable to me. The question is how is it possible that only six people are interested in entering the second biggest race in the world.” Milos also questions how bodybuilders are losing out to the competition.
Cutler’s take on Arnold Classics
It’s been years since Jay graced professional bodybuilding. Although the Arnold Classics were never on his mind, Cutler has no regrets about entering the competition. Instead, Cutler was grateful to be able to attract the unprecedented fan base he received after participating in the Arnold Classics over the years. After the Arnold Classic, Cutler eventually went on to capture the Mr. Olympia title after defeating 8-time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. In other words, the Arnold Classic served as the stepping stone of his career.
