4x Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler’s Ultimate Workout for Massive Back

After hanging up his boots from professional bodybuilding in 2016, 4XMr. Olympia winner Jay Cutler has hardly spent his days sitting back. He runs his own YouTube channel, is very active on social media, and also has his newsletter series – all to help others excel at bodybuilding. A source of constant motivation, Cutler has shared his expert advice on how to get a perfect back with strong muscles.

Jay Cutler took to his Instagram to share a two-point advice for everyone, on how to develop a strong back. It mainly involves doing  “Rack Pulls & Deadlifts” and “Bent over rows”. Here’s his detailed note.

Rack Pull, Deadlift, and Bent over rows – the ways to perfect the back, as per Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler wrote in his Instagram story, “Pro Tip of the day”, before giving his tips. He wrote, “#1 Rack Pulls and Deadlifts, To get that really dense, thick slack of muscles across your back rack pulls and deadlifts are awesome – you can get really strong on these and overload the back muscles. Using a combination of both is a great idea because each exercise provides a slightly different stimulus”. Both these exercises deal with heavy weights and mostly impact the Gluteus Maximus (in our hips) and Erector Spinae (muscles that run through the spine).

Cutler wrote in his 2nd tip, “Bent over rows. Bent over rows are the king of adding thickness to the back, I am a huge fan of this exercise. Make sure your shoulders are always pushed backward and you drive back with your elbows by your side”. Another one of those exercises, generally done using a barbell, impacts the Rhomboids, Middle Trapezius, Lower Trapezius, and several other muscles on one’s back.

Cutler, who has relied on dumbbells and machine press for most of his glittering career, also shared an interesting piece of information about avoiding a technique, in his newsletter from last month.

The other methods Cutler follows for a sustainable, strong, muscular physique

Although a very popular training routine for bodybuilders, Jay Cutler clearly wrote about avoiding heavy flat bench presses. He instead prefers a Flat Smith Machine press in order to specifically impact and strengthen the muscles in his shoulders, triceps, and chest.

Cutler also prefers dumbbells over barbells due to their safety and productivity in the long run. Taking a jab at many bodybuilders who always lift barbells, Cutler mentioned that it is the ego that pushes a bodybuilder towards it. It is why he believes it’s important to think it through for better sustainability.
