Bodybuilding Legend Jay Cutler Shares His Top 3 Movements For Calf Growth

Bodybuilding great Jay Cutler is in a giving mood, offering his best tips for a stubborn body part. In a recent YouTube video, Jay Cutler revealed his top three exercises for growing the calves. 

Having just completed a ‘Fit-for-50’ challenge, Jay Cutler‘s abilities on and off the stage are far-reaching. He captured the world’s most prestigious bodybuilding honor a total of four times, defeating mainstays of the sport on the Mr. Olympia stage like Ronnie Coleman, Dexter Jackson, and Phil Heath. 

Even though he stopped competing professionally, Cutler’s love for bodybuilding and the gym is on constant display. He remains one of the most prolific ambassadors of the growing sport and hosts the immensely popular Cutler Cast podcast with co-host Milos Sarcev. 

Jay Cutler Shares Top Three Calf Exercises

Aside from that, Cutler gives back to the bodybuilding community with training tips and technique pointers. From improving your bench press to maximizing results on dumbbell pullovers, there isn’t a body part that Cutler isn’t well-versed in training. Given his status as an all-time great, he decided to walk fans through his three most-favored exercises for more muscular calves. 

“We’re going to talk about calf training. What I try to focus on is at least two to three movements. Definitely, the standing calf machine raise, the seated calf machine raise, and then sometimes the donkey calf machine if it’s available in the gym.”

“Everyone always wants to know how you have the developed calf muscle. Now, I focus on 12 repetitions and I do at least three working sets per exercise. Always, always training calves on chest day which is once every five to six days in my training routine,” shares Jay Cutler.

It wouldn’t be a bodybuilding season without Jay Cutler’s input. The 50-year-old recently looked into Nick Walker’s entry into the 2024 New York Pro. Cutler, who has watched ‘The Mutant’ rise up the ladder, was highly disappointed when he pulled out of the last Mr. Olympia due to a hamstring/calf tear.
