Jay Cutler, who has won 4 Olympia titles despite an unparalleled struggling journey, still retains a chiseled body even at the age of 50. For him, age is just a number, and he does not let that number define his bodybuilding capability. Often, Cutler is seen hitting the gym and sharing his fruitful suggestions with fitness seekers. 

Recently, the Olympia champ opened up on effective training approaches that are needed to attain an Olympia-winning body. He showcased some movements that, according to him, will target every part of the body and help in overall muscle development. 

From the standing calf raise to the shoulder press: Cutler’s recommendations

In a recent Instagram post, the Olympia winner had set out to resolve the query of many aspiring bodybuilders with his results-driven exercises. He posted a video of himself explaining every exercise that he thinks is required to get a toned body. The post was captioned, “My meat and potato movements for each body part broken down.”

Among many training techniques, Cutler pinpointed how the basic standing calf raise was an ideal one. Other than this, he underscored squats and stiff-legged deadlifts, which are strength-training exercises to target the hamstring. He also suggested doing deadlifting with dumbbells and barbells. Moreover, he talked about pull-ups, which are responsible for giving one a v-taper body with broad shoulders and lats down to the narrow waist.

Touching upon ‌shoulder strength and muscle topics, he suggested the shoulder press to be the best option. This could be done using a dumbbell, barbell, or the Smith machine as well. For chest training, Cutler recommended the basic bench press. To get well-built biceps, he advocated the standard Barbell curl exercises, while for triceps, he recommended doing dips.
