WORKOUT TIPS

Cutler’s Back Blueprint

“Bodybuilding shows are won from the back.” That quote is a cliche at this point, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore it. A well-sculpted, strong back not only enhances the visual appeal of your physique but also improves functionality and posture. This is precisely why four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler still dedicates 21 sets on pull day to target his back muscles.

Cutler utilizes underhand grips during pulldowns to effectively engage his lat muscles, which play a significant role when executing the front double biceps pose on stage. Furthermore, he favors the standing T-bar row over the chest-supported variation due to its higher level of difficulty. Discover the nine exercises that constitute the pull day routine of the four-time Mr. Olympia, along with his invaluable tips for maximizing back muscle growth.
