As the saying goes, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” This past weekend, the reigning Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler raised the Sandow in victory for the second time in a row. Displaying over 275 pounds of striated muscle mass, Las Vegas resident Jay Cutler did what only a few other men have been able to do – earn back-to-back Mr. Olympia titles.
From his first steps on stage, it was obvious that the returning champ had come for one thing – to prove once again why he’s the world’s best bodybuilder. Having added even more size to his signature delts, world-class chest and the sport’s best rear-lat spread, the competition never stood a chance. Although standing among what is being coined as the most difficult lineup in the history of the contest, Jay dominated every call-out and every posedown with his most imposing package ever. He then secured his victory with a posing routine that was both poetic and powerful. And when the smoke cleared from the battle, Jay was again the last man standing atop Mount Olympus!
Team MuscleTech™ would like to congratulate the returning champion, Jay Cutler. There is no title better suited for the man who truly symbolizes bodybuilding both on the stage and off! Jay Cutler is your 2007 Mr. Olympia and indefinitely the preeminent champion for years to come.
On Sept. 28 and 29, bodybuilding’s most-muscular pros battled it out for the sport’s highest honor and most-coveted crown – the Mr. Olympia title. In all, 24 competitors took to the world’s premier stage, and when the dust settled there were only 10 men left standing. Not surprisingly, six of those top 10 men were Team MuscleTech’s finest, and each brought their A game.
Close behind Jay Cutler were two men just as hungry for Olympia glory – Dexter Jackson and Melvin Anthony. With finishes near the top in the past, both competitors were favored threats for top honors, and both were ready to shock the world. Dexter Jackson assembled his most formidable package ever. Having added pounds of new thickness to his back, Dexter’s rear-lat spread and back-double bicep poses were met with a gasp from the audience. Along with his signature side chest, Dexter couldn’t be denied his third-place finish. With his signature shredded conditioning and pleasing aesthetic lines, Dexter Jackson proved yet again why he’s called “The Blade.”
Finishing just out of the top five was Melvin Anthony. His thick upper body and high-lats looked all the more imposing on his waspy waist. Along with an equally impressive posing routine, “The Marvelous One” muscled his way into sixth place.
Also finishing in the top ten were Team MuscleTech’s Gustavo Badell, Johnnie Jackson and David Henry. Carrying momentum from his Atlantic City Pro Championship victory, Johnnie Jackson took to the stage with the same show-stopping size, but even deeper cuts in his shoulders and chest. With even more size to his delts and traps, Johnnie’s most-muscular pose carried him to a solid ninth-place showing. Gustavo Badell finished a very respectable eighth and had his frame packed with thick, dense muscle.
Anchoring Team MuscleTech’s Olympia dominance was David Henry. The “Giant Killer” came into the Olympia with his signature conditioning, complete with skin-pressing vascularity, more size to his legs and a lower back that seemed to defy human anatomy. He left with a tenth-place finish.
Overall, it was a record showing for Team MuscleTech. For their weeks of gut-wrenching training and painstaking dieting … for their unwavering drive and dedication … for their constant commitment to excellence, we’d like to thank and congratulate bodybuilding’s finest for yet again proving why Team MuscleTech is the best in the business.
