Jay Cutler, a legendary figure in the world of bodybuilding, is often associated with his immense size and sculpted physique. While popular belief suggests that his training style primarily revolved around high volume, a lesser-known truth challenges this notion. Contrary to this, there are clips of his rigorous training regiment which played a pivotal role in his four Mr. Olympia victories.

In a recent video shared on his Instagram, Cutler can be observed performing a demanding set of T-Bar rows with heavy weights. Cutler acknowledges the significant role played by Gold’s Gym in shaping his impressive and unmatched physique. This resurfaced clip serves as undeniable evidence against any claims suggesting that Cutler did not engage in heavy lifting.

Cutler has been open about the fact that he did not prefer to train till failure. However, it does not necessarily rule out the possibility that Cutler didn’t use to go all-out every once in a while. In his recent Instagram video, we can hear his workout partner suggesting that he get ‘CPR’ after he rowed an unbelievable weight.
