It took Jay Cutler a long time to reach the pinnacle of bodybuilding. Going up against Ronnie Coleman, the Massachusetts native came up short four times before finally winning the title. However, early on in his career, Cutler was known for the iconic ‘quad stomp’ move. Even when Jay didn’t win, the quad stomp always won the crowd over. In fact, it gave prime Ronnie Coleman a run for his money.

In 2018, Jay revealed everything about his quads. Apart from being the easiest to train, Jay made an unbelievable claim about when he started training his legs in the gym.

Jay Cutler and his iconic quads

The four-time Mr. Olympia recalled how he was known for his legs, especially during the early days of his bodybuilding career. Jay said, “People don’t know that but my legs, my legs were my easiest body part to build. And I was known for my legs.”

Cutler also said, “they talked about, you know, the kid with the Crazy Legs,” while recalling what people referred to him as when talking about an up-and-comer from Massachusetts.

Cutler also revealed that after just one year of working out, he already had, “The best legs in the gym… It was just one of those body parts.” The former Mr. Olympia also revealed, “I didn’t actually train my legs from 20 to 23.”

Jay said, “I needed my upper body to catch up.” That’s quite astonishing, considering just how well-developed his legs were.

Cutler was not aware of how good his legs looked on stage, but drew the judges’ attention to his quads every time he posed. The four-time Mr. Olympia’s iconic quad stomp while facing off against Dexter Jackson has generated millions of views on social media.

His legs are still massive 

The former Mr. Olympia is always on the move. From attending events to promoting his supplement company, Jay Cutler, is just as dedicated now as he was as a bodybuilder. However, even with a hectic schedule and despite being 49, Jay trains rigorously. His legs are still massive and shredded.

A recent photoshoot with Lex Little proved the same. In the photo, Cutler’s quads looked just as big and even more shredded compared to the 21-years-old’s.
