In 2006, Jay Cutler dethroned the eight-time Mr. Olympia champion Ronnie Coleman after their legendary rivalry.
In the course of his career, Jay Cutler consistently confronted intense competition, securing an impressive three additional Mr. Olympia victories for a total of four. Although he faced a temporary setback against Dexter Jackson in 2008, Cutler swiftly avenged his loss a year later with his iconic quad stomp pose.

Jay Cutler’s Tips for Better Dumbbell Pullovers
Jay Cutler remains an influential voice in the fitness community often taking to social media to provide helpful tips for workouts and nutrition. His most recent piece of advice provided fans with his technique to optimize dumbbell pullovers.
“All right so we are going to do a pullover. So what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna do this in a diamond and what I am really trying to do is just stretch the chest like I told you. Pump, stretch, pump, stretch, it’s going to be our finisher movement” Jay Cutler says.
For sets and reps, Cutler said the following:
“Three sets, 75 pounds, of course, I used to do 150 on this but just kind of stretch and notice as I come over the top and kind of squeeze. So like I said for the back, I do it like this (closed fist), for chest I do it like this (diamond shape) so it kind of stretches.”
After showing viewers his method for dumbbell pullovers, Cutler shares another exercise that has contributed to him being able to maintain his ‘chiseled’ chest.
“Another exercise I usually do is like a pulldown like a cable pulldown and it helps stretch the fibers out ok. We are just going to keep the blood flow. One thing I have been able to hold onto as I’ve retired is a decent chest and I always liked having like when you wear a v-neck you have that chiseled look.”
Jay Cutler has previously discussed his ‘secret tip’ for working the triceps using the rope press downs. Preferring to get on his knees for this exercise, Cutler explained that it allows him to get closer to the machine and maximize results.
