Jay Cutler Reflects On Beating ‘The Greatest Ever’ Ronnie Coleman To Win Mr. Olympia

Staff / June 6, 2021

Jay Cutler looks back on avenging his years of second place performances by beating Ronnie Coleman to win the 2006 Olympia

After years of being the perennial runner-up, Jay Cutler was able to dethrone the great Ronnie Coleman and win the Mr. Olympia A decade and a half later, he reflects on that moment and what it meant to him.

The onstage career of Cutler has two fairly distinct parts. What most people know him for is the fact that he was able to win four Mr. Olympia titles across five years, only briefly disrupted by Dexter Jackson in between.

However there was also the part of his career where Jay seemed to always be the bridesmaid but never the bride. Between 2001 and 2005, the Massachusetts born bodybuilder found himself coming in second place at every single event he competed in.

After this run of second place scores, Jay Cuter was finally able to win the 2006 Mr. Olympia, breaking the legendary Ronnie Coleman’s 8 year reign as champ. Speaking in a recent interview, Jay explained just how much this moment meant to him.

He started off by going on record to say that Ronnie Coleman was the greatest bodybuilder to ever do it, and he looked up to the legend. He then explained that after being second for so long, it took him a while to come to terms with the fact that he won.

“He’s the greatest ever, I’ll go on record. We all sit here and look at bodybuilders and who we admire, this guy was my idol. So for me to come up and have him as my idol and then become a rival, and then of course have to beat him,” Cutler explained.
“When I did beat him, I felt bad because not only did I beat him, but he was going for record number nine at the time… So I held (him) from that happening. He was going to break that record, and I was the first guy to defeat Mr. Olympia onstage, never been done in history, still to this day.
“To have all those second (placings), I was second to him four times to him, where most guys would have given up. It seemed like there was a curse of the second place Mr. Olympias, if you go back to like Rich Gaspari, and Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray, all these guys they never end up getting the title, Flex Wheeler, like they all pursued that title and then fell back, whereas I was the one who was able to leap forward and actually win the title,” Cutler continued.
“To do it in my home town of Vegas, and have everyone behind me… By that point, as the underdog you build up a huge momentum. It took me weeks to realize that it happened, and to this day it was still one of the greatest moments in our sport’s history, and probably 50 years from now will be recognized even further. It seems like the further I get away from my career, the more respect I get.”

From there, Jay Cutler goes on to explain that top bodybuilders were portrayed as perfect in magazines. So there was a certain expectation that fans had when they met him.

However he knows that all of these bodybuilders had their own issues going on behind the scenes, and were far from the perfect expectations set before them. So that makes him appreciate the vulnerable moments that he had early in his career, before he found success.

“With success comes a different mindset… If you told me at 18 when I started, I was a shy country kid, and I remember standing onstage and I was shaking, and I was wining,” Cutler said.
“I remember guest posing, being nervous as hell up there, like oh my gosh. I was paid to be there because I just didn’t have the experience. And then starting to get behind a microphone, and having to do it onstage, and I was only in front of 500 people or 1000 people.
“Eventually, when you’re on the Olympia stage doing speeches with 10,000 people, and then you go to seminars, and you travel worldwide,” Cutler continued. “And then of course you get behind a microphone for social media, and you’ve got millions of people.
“You learn to adjust and then you realize that ‘Wow I’m actually changing people’s lives.’ I look back on the accolades of what I did, right? All these awards and titles, we can talk for days about that, but its the people now who appreciate you for the message that you provided, and the motivation.”

It is crazy to look back on the career of Jay Cutler and see how far he came. His story is nothing short of motivational, and even years later it is incredible to hear him reflect on these moments.

Vaseline for Breasts: Can It Make Them Larger?

Staff / June 1, 2021

Overview

Vaseline is a brand of petroleum jelly that’s often used to help heal scrapes and burns, or as a moisturizer for your hands and face. The product is a mix of waxes and mineral oils, and is a part of many health and beauty routines.

One claim currently popular on social media is that Vaseline can be used to increase your breast size and firmness. The idea is that by applying Vaseline to your breasts every day for a given period of time — usually around 30 days — you can increase your cup size.

Can Vaseline help your breasts grow?

There’s no clinical evidence that applying Vaseline to your breasts will increase their size or firmness. Rubbing the product on your chest each night will not cause them to grow.

Can Vaseline combined with toothpaste increase breast size and firmness?

Some claim that by massaging Vaseline on your breasts and rubbing toothpaste on your nipples, you can increase breast size and firmness. Just like with Vaseline, there’s no evidence toothpaste has an effect on the size and firmness of breasts.

If you believe your breasts feel tighter after an application of toothpaste, it’s likely the toothpaste has dried, thus creating a tighter feeling on your skin.

When you remove the toothpaste, that tight feeling will likely fade and your breasts will not have been impacted in terms of size or firmness. Toothpaste might be damaging to the delicate tissue of the nipple.

Are there any risks?

As long as you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients in Vaseline or the toothpaste you use, there are no risks in applying them to your breasts.

If you experience sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, or a rash where the products were applied, you may be allergic and should stop application.

Be aware that the ingredients of some toothpaste brands can irritate sensitive skin.

How can you increase breast size?

Your breast size is generally determined by genetics and body weight, thus there are limited ways to naturally increase their size. Women do often experience a change in their breast size during pregnancy or during certain times in their menstrual cycle.

Breast augmentation surgery is the only proven method for increasing breast size. This relatively common surgery (which involves adding implants under your breast tissue) does include risks, including:

pain in breasts
bruising or bleeding
infection
leaking or rupture of implants
scarring

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),Trusted Source there’s also a connection between breast implants and an increased risk of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

If you’re considering surgically increasing your breast size, consult with your doctor to learn more about the process, expectations, costs, and risks.

Takeaway

There are countless claims about ways to naturally grow your breast size, including the suggestion that applying Vaseline and toothpaste to your chest each night will, after several weeks, cause growth.

Though the risks to trying this natural technique are minimal, there’s no evidence that it’s effective.

If you’re interested in increasing the size of your breasts, the most proven method is through breast augmentation surgery. Be aware that there are risks, side effects, and costs to consider.
