Do you want to sculpt powerful forearms like Jay Cutler? Look no further than the man himself. The four-time Mr. Olympia revealed, an amazing tip for building impressive arm strength. While Cutler admitted he didn’t prioritize forearm work during his Olympia reigns, he is now eager to share the game-changing exercise that helped him achieve jaw-dropping gains with little work.

Cutler’s go-to move? “The reverse curl.” But he wasn’t talking about any ordinary reverse curl – he has a twist that takes it to the next level. Instead of reaching for dumbbells, the Arnold Classic champ prefers to wield a barbell for this exercise.

While emphasizing the reverse curls, he said “The hammer curl with dumbbells are really good. But I’m going to show you one exercise right now.” Then he demonstrated, “I worked up to 225 pounds before, 10 to 12 reps,” Cutler revealed, emphasizing the staggering weight he was able to handle. And while he demonstrates he performed just five reps, in the video. So, what exactly does the reverse curl entail? It’s simple yet effective.

Grab a barbell with an underhand grip behind you below the buttocks, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart. Slowly lift the barbell up using your undergrip focussing on your contraction, making sure to engage your forearms throughout the movement. Then, lower the weight back down with control, feeling the burn with each repetition. The beauty of Cutler’s signature exercise lies in its ability to target the often-neglected forearm muscles from a unique angle.

By incorporating reverse curls into your routine, you’ll not only build strength but also enhance the aesthetics of your arms. Whether you’re a seasoned lifter or just starting out, the reverse curl can be scaled to match your fitness level. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as you grow stronger – just like Cutler did on his journey to achieve victories. Just like the reverse curls, he previously suggested incorporating the Smith Machine and urged people not to be afraid of the equipment.

Recently, the 50-year-old praised using the Smith machine in workouts, saying, “Don’t be afraid to try it out!” According to him, it’s super versatile. You can do squats, bench presses, shoulder presses, and more. The machine’s controlled movement is its key feature.

Unlike free weights, it guides your body’s path, making exercises precise. This helps beginners and those with injuries. Plus, each Smith machine is a bit different, offering unique workouts. Some move horizontally, others incline. This variety lets you tailor your routine to fit your goals and preferences.
