Let’s know more about them!!!

Jay Cutler : IFBB Professional Jay Cutler is bodybuilding's most recognized and personable athlete. He is IFBB 2010, 2009, 2007 & 2006 Mr. Olympia, IFBB 2002, 2003, & 2004 Arnold Classic Champion and IFBB 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2008 Mr. Olympia Runner Up. Jay was born August 3, 1973 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Worcester is centrally located in Massachusetts, about 50 miles west of Boston. Jay grew up in a small town called Sterling, which is a suburb of Worcester County. The youngest of seven (3 brothers and 3 sisters), his father was a superintendent of the highway department and his mother worked in finance at a military base. His childhood was an active one: he enjoyed riding my bike and playing neighborhood games such as kick the can and hide and seek, he rode ATV's and worked on the family's farm which consisted of pigs, goats, chickens, and cows. Jay also worked in my brother's concrete business from early on and developed quite a physique for himself. This physique was the foundation for his bodybuilding career.

Phil Heath : Prior to bodybuilding, Phil Heath was a member of the University of Denver (Div.1-A) men’s basketball team (1998-2002) as a point/shooting guard for the Pioneers. This experience taught Phil many key lessons such as a hard work ethic, self-discipline, respect for others, humility and accountability. He found that even though his collegiate career wasn’t as successful as his high school career, he still could achieve greatness through the many lessons he learned. Being a basketball player was every kid’s dream growing up in his neighborhood, and he happened to love it too. Phil enjoyed practicing for hours on end, and as he got better and better, he learned the value of hard work and perseverance. Phil was rewarded by DU for all of his hard work and discipline, both academically and athletically, with a full student-athletic scholarship.

Branch Warren: Branch Warren first competed in 1992 when he won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Teenage Mr. America competition. His first National Physique Committee (NPC) event was the Teenage Nationals, where he won again. His first IFBB event was at the 2004 Night of Champions competitions, where he placed 8th. His first Mr. Olympia was in 2005, where he placed 8th. The following year, in 2006, he competed in his first Arnold Classic for a 2nd place finish. While slipping to 7th place in 2007, he improved to 4th place in 2008 and 3rd in 2009, while winning the title of "Most Muscular". Branch Warren placed 12th in his 2nd Mr. Olympia contest in 2006. Branch Warren also placed 1st at the 2007 New York Pro.

Kai Greene : Kai Greene was born July 12th in Brooklyn, NY. At the age of six, he became a ward of the State of New York due to a problematic home environment. For the next ten years, he would be in transitional placement, moving from several foster homes to institutional placements. It was within this environment that Kai found weight training as his refuge. Deep inside of his soul, there resided many talents that few people were aware of, most importantly his burning desire to be a visual artist. These two worlds would eventually meet and interconnect as his own body became the subject of his study. Kai became his own living model, and he utilized his own physique to gain a greater understanding of space and movement, creating works of art that became increasingly detailed and complex over time.

He also has two sons, Jarred and Justin, and two daughters, Victoria and Zayde. During his teen years, Victor was always involved in competitive sports, e.g. baseball, basketball and football, which were a natural transition to weight training. His first serious training partner was Stephen Dickerson, who saw his potential to become a serious contender in the sport of professional bodybuilding. Steve was instrumental in persuading Victor to pursue professional bodybuilding as a career.
