Bodybuilding Legend Jay Cutler Shares Ultimate “Sandow Winning Chest Day” Routine

Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler never backs down from giving advice to his fans and followers through his YouTube channel, “JayCutlerTV.” Achieving a behemoth physique like Cutler’s is still a dream for many, and he recently shared about his “Sandow Winning Chest Day,“ which made him win the Mr. Olympia title.

The montage displayed Cutler from both his peak and current era, having chest sessions and lifting heavy weights in the gym. Cutler gave his insights on exercises like the incline hammer press, flat dumbbell press, pullovers, cable crossovers, and dumbbell flys he used to do.

Chest workout for winning Mr. Olympia

In the video, Cutler started with his first exercise, the incline hammer press. He used to do two warm-ups or feel sets of the exercise. Then he used to do three working sets with the pyramid weight training, increasing the weights. Then he moved to the dumbbell press and performed the exercise with the biggest dumbbells present in the gym. He did at least twelve reps with one fifty-pound dumbbell. 

Then he did the flat dumbbell flys, using a weight between eighty and one hundred pounds for twelve reps. He did the cable crossover using a high pully approach, and he tried to squeeze the chest instead of coming down too much. He did the same for three sets of twelve reps each. 

The last exercise he did was pullovers. He said,” You have seen me do this a million times with a dumbbell.“ He emphasized maintaining the diamond grip while holding the dumbbell between your hands. The four-time Olympia winner highlighted that he stretched his chest and made the blood flow much better. Cutler did three sets of twelve reps with dumbbells weighing between one twenty-pound and one thirty-pound. Exercising and lifting heavy like a beast was not only the reason for Cutler’s behemoth physique. He ate like a monster in his prime era.

I was eating 6–7 times a day. I was eating 4 lbs of meat a day, pretty consistently. You know, it is just every two hours. Like just clockwork.”
