Firstly, starting with leg training, Cutler incorporates calf raises, squats, and stiff-legged deadlifts. In addition, transitioning to the upper body, he employs shoulder presses for shoulders and opts for bench presses to target the chest.
“Top exercises for each body part. I think your basic standing calf raise would be ideal for me. Going up to quads, definitely the squat, extremely heavy, of course. Hamstrings, I would say stiff-legged deadlifts whether it’s with dumbbells or barbells.
Back movement, your pull-ups, that’s going to give you that V-taper. Shoulders, I would definitely say the shoulder press, whether it’s dumbbell, barbell, machine, Smith machine. Chest training, your basic bench press although I don’t dictate a lot of barbell movements I would focus on dumbbell movements for sure,” shares Jay Cutler.
Furthermore, in his arm training routine, Cutler prioritizes biceps development through barbell curls. Additionally, for triceps strength, he incorporates dips into his workout regimen.
“Arm training, biceps, your standard barbell curl, whether it’s a cambered bar, straight bar, that exercise is going to build the arms the most. Triceps, I would say dips.
I mean look at these guys in the Olympics, they have the crazy triceps where they work on the rings. The dip being a lock out movement for the triceps, that’s really ideal.”
Finally, he prioritized wrist curls to define his forearms and opted for hanging leg raises to tighten his midsection.
“Forearms, I would definitely saw wrist curls. That’s going to help build your forearms a little more. You’re always going to have big biceps but you got to have the forearms to match.
Ab training, I would say hanging leg raises. That’s going to hit the core a lot deeper and help you develop the ab wall.”
