As per the recent social media update by the 4x World Strongest Man, it featured Cutler in his gym standing next to a stunning mural depiction of the bodybuilder. The duo chatted about the training regimen Cutler went through ahead of acing the Mr.Olympia titles consecutively. Into the bargain, the 49-year-old athlete candidly admitted to feeling tiny standing next to Shaw.
While narrating the differences in the duo’s training specifics, he said, “The reps are little different. Obviously the weights aren’t as much as they used to be, back when I was 300 pounds. I feel small standing next you little bit.”
Apparently, the 40-year-old strongman showed up in Cutler’s gym to discuss the quad-stomp poser’s arm training course. Hence, Cutler stated that the drills were slightly different from his. The training revolved around efficient techniques, strategic reps, and relatively, lower weights. Likewise, in the champion’s podcast venture, Cutlercast, he once talked about Brian Shaw’s mind-blowing diet plan.
