One day, I do chest and calves. Everyone always knows I do calves before chest. Second day, I\u2019ll do arms, biceps, and triceps. Third day, I do shoulders. I do shoulders on its own. I don\u2019t do any trap work anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He emphasized that if you\u2019re chasing size to take the day off after back and leg training.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\">\n<p>\u201cAnother day I do back. Back on its own day. And then, of course, legs.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what I suggest is having a day off after back training and leg training, especially if you\u2019re really trying to put on mass and you\u2019re really trying to get a little bigger. You do need the days off though if you are training to the extreme, pushing yourself, training to failure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cutler still makes recovery a top priority, driving home the importance of eating and sleeping around a training schedule:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t train hard, and I hate to say that, because people look at me as, of course, an Olympia winner. I\u2019ve been retired now for quite some time but I pretty much stay on that schedule and sometimes I take days in between, especially when I travel on a plane or whatnot.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, you have to eat around the training, you have to sleep around the training. You have to recover but I do train on those splits, whether it\u2019s back, legs, chest, shoulders, arms. That\u2019s pretty simplified,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p7TlaaDoMjs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">shared<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cutler has also taken a deep dive into his supplement use. He recently laid out the<a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/jay-cutler-best-timing-for-supplements\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> supplement stack<\/a> he sticks to year-round to help boost his workout performance and health. Typically, he takes his supplements in the morning or during a workout for optimal results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At 51 years old, Cutler still approaches his training routine with care and precision. He credits this workout split for helping him remain in top shape as he gets older.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/jay-cutler-reveals-his-top-3-chest-exercises\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jay Cutler Reveals His Top 3 Chest Exercises for Building Size and Upper Pecs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler\u2019s goals have shifted in retirement, and his workouts don\u2019t look like they used to.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":53153,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[8099,1198,210,39576,39577,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-53152","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-bodybuilding","9":"tag-fitness","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-jay-cutler","12":"tag-training-split","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114826983792746346","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
