Leg curls, stiffed-legged deadlifts, and a lot more

Cutler posted a short video on his YouTube channel JayCutlerTV titled “Massive Leg Day.” His leg day kicked off with seated leg curls, a critical foundation for any serious leg day. “I start with seated leg curls. I do three sets there,” Cutler explained. But this was just the beginning of the quad-pumping adventure.

Moving seamlessly, the 50-year-old delved into standing leg curls, followed by the intensity of stiff-legged deadlifts. He spiced things up with walking lunges, emphasizing their role not only for quads but also for sculpting glutes and hams. This workout wasn’t just a routine; it’s a symphony of targeted muscle engagement.

As the sweat started to pour, the quad stomp added leg press and lying leg curls to the mix. But here’s the twist, he occasionally throws in high-legged platforms during leg presses, stimulating those hamstrings in a way that keeps the routine fresh and challenging.

“Listen, you’re going to work indirectly some quads in there,” Cutler teased, hinting at the surprise elements woven into his regimen. The journey culminated in the grand finale: leg extensions, knee-bending under the weight, transitioning smoothly to the squat machine, particularly the revered Roger squat that Cutler passionately endorses. Before sharing his leg-day workout routine, the bodybuilding beast had also provided instructions on executing some leg-day exercises.

In his earlier video, he emphasizes focusing on quad dominance. Cutler stressed foot placement, opting for a lower platform position to pinpoint those lower quad muscles. Emphasizing a flat sole, he recommended shoes like Jordans, Vans, or Converse with minimal thickness, acknowledging gym rules on barefoot training.
