@@Thanoswasright_ The guys like 50 years old so he's no spring chicken but he looks decent for his age. We can't all be like those Chinese dudes that are 52 looking 26.
Well, genetically his delts dominated his physique and for him he wanted his chest to shine as that’s what judges were accustomed to, even in this video his delts are comparable to his chest, which is pretty crazy
I’m natural and have massive delt genes. It’s like I have to focus so much on incline movements to make my chest look decent. But barely do anything for my delta to make them look massive.
@@aytuzfor open bodybuilding, delts are far more important. They appear in almost all the mandatories and are vital for a good v-taper. While chest is important, it is not as important as it was in the golden era.
He's the only Mr. Olympia (to my knowledge) to ever lose the title and then reclaim it the following year. After that the only sensible path to take is living a good healthy lifestyle out of the spotlight.
Good advice. Too many people focus on the flat bench when they really should be focused more on incline for the upper pecs. I find that 1 of the best exercises for upper chest development is decline push-ups with rings. Just grab a bench or chair and put your feet on them while doing ring push-ups. You'll get a really good pump
@@julianpalavecino8350and? What's ur point? All of us could take that exact cycle and not look anything close to Jay... this is lit coming from someone who has really good genetics for muscle gain... these guys are freaks of nature my guy.. and the way they respond to gear is also freaks of nature...
@@julianpalavecino8350btw a cycle like that might look similar to his pre contest routine... but id be willing to bet u $$$ his off-season and most of the year he was not running all of those compounds and that much stuff... ur lit talking a short period of time to peak for a show..id bet $ he gained most of his size only on test and gh...... and def wasn't running 20 ius... prob like half that my guy
Jay had the most shoulder dominate bench press form you'll ever see. Anyone who tries to touch the bar to their upper chest would ruin their rotary cuffs and grow massive front delts with little to no chest activation.... It's crazy it worked for him, truly one of kind.
Couldn’t agree more. I find I’m getting a way better pump and mind muscle connection doing iso lateral movements. It really helps with muscle imbalances. There’s no help from the dominant side.
Different variations of push-ups I've been doing prison-style workout and military style push ups and burpees last 60 days high interval training no weights just body weights , Just added Weighted Vest 40 pound , I lost a lot of muscle because of my diabetes since April, my recovery is insane I changed my diet to High protein diet and carnivore diet and keto diet, less sweet's, hard things cutting out Mountain Dew and Cherry Pepsi I lost 70 pounds dew to using insulin, I still take my protein powder and supplements, reenergize myself my fitness journey 4 days every week being consistent is key I will come back here in one year come back you read my comment again .
Great to hear Jay mention push-ups, if you can yet do 30-50 reps for multiple sets heavily invest your time into improving them, I could do 2 plates for reps on bench and still had basically no chest and pushups gave me significant pec gains without having to keep grinding my shoulders into dust adding kilos to my free weight movements
Dumbbells are better for building size. The way I see it is for building strength use the barbell, for building muscle use the the dumbbells. The barbell is better for strength obviously because you can put more weight on it but the dumbbells are much better for building muscle because its more challenging and it has much much deeper ROM and it really stimulates your stabiliser muscles.
@@Wishmaster787 this is true I'm just mentioning that pushups can give very substantial pec gains if one hasn't already added them to their training, don't overlook them
I like hearing this. The chest starting at the bottom and ending halfway up describes how mine was perfectly. I do only incline movements now. I also have very wide shoulders. Did not know there was a connection.
Jay is so big even today. Just amazing on how his freak genetics are ultra dominate compared to any normal human being whether on juice or not, he’s inhuman. Amazing
@@bychen5011 there's this fitness guy who shit talks big fitness influencers and movements like bench press, and then compares it to Leon Edwards as peak aesthetic physique
I think Jay is the only person that I have heard who says "focus on repetitions". Cause I've heard that a lot that I should focuson the quality instead of the reps
@@karlhungus8053 🤣as a guy that has been lifting for almost 12 years I can say you don't even need a gym membership and expensive supplements to get a nice looking physique,you just gotta be creative😉😋
Jay says his most stubborn muscle is his chest. My most stubborn muscle is all of them but I’m still training hard. Thanks for all the training tips they are helpful.
Hard to say who was the best but top 10 for sure... Among the likes if Arnold, Sergio,Lee,Dorian,Ronnie,Phil,Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler.. regardless of how many sandows... Nasser was close to be in that group..but his back was never on that level condition wise.m
@@fishfan2 I started doing dumbells over regular flat bench and it progressed my bodybuilding folds over barebell. But I do hit incline and focus on contraction like Jay said and it’s made a huge difference in my upper pecs! Dips developed my lower pec and cable flys really just having good form and make the reps count!
I have this kind of chest too, it starts from the bottom and ends halfway from the top, also with overactive shoulders... soo tough to activate the upper pecs🥲
My shoulders are probably my most developed muscles on my upper body as well… but my chest is underdeveloped especially my upper chest… just as you said I’m struggling with my shoulders not dominating the workouts. I’m a complete beginner to lifting though… I just moved and there is a private gym right next door so no more excuses.
Actually feels like he's giving the tip directly to me because all my muscles grow alot quicker then my chest... Especially my legs they are the easiest in my opinion..

He's one of the smart ones who focused on longevity, humility carries you a far way in life. Maximum Respect Jay Cutler.

Lucky man
I love how you broke down the different exercises. It's so helpful to see the variations for each.
Anyone notice how close Jay’s voice is to Peter Griffin’s. 😂
I knew his voice sounds familiar 😂😂😂😂
I've noticed some youtubers sound almost like kermit the frog. They must be from the midwest.
Just close your eyes and it is indeed Peter Griffin getting a pump
Lol 😂 you crazy how did you even figure this out lol 😂
Not particularly no
I agree. my pecs looked fuller doing alternating DB incline presses than the standard. The key is to keep constant tension and "punch" the weight
I'm just starting to work out at 60 and I'm trying to figure thing out and watching Jay has been helpful

As someone who also struggles to grow his chest, hearing one of the GOATs talk about this is really inspiring.
As usual, great advice from Jay. Thanks for sharing
Awesome advice, I feel the same way when I work chest now my shoulders are in pain . Isolate the pecs with dumbbell incline presses .
Never give up jay you rock
Ty Jay keep this shit coming man. My chest is also my most stubborn muscle. Ty for all of your advice and knowledge
This video really inspires me to focus more on my chest workouts. I need to try those cable flys.
Props to you jay for looking so good. You took and still do take care of your health.
this guy is so knowledgeable in his profession and down to earth.. Jay Cutler is the man

Great and useful tips! 🙏Jay is the man!!
Thanks for the advice champ!
💯 - have the same "problem" as Jay had, took me a while to realise how to fix my issue. What really helped me was flys for the upper chest
The only bodybuilder I've seen who still looks healthy and not broken down
Started from the bottom now hes here💪🏽
Man, feels like you’re talking about me. I got wide shoulders and good lower pecs but my upper pecs are almost flat. Struggling to get them to grow.

good info. That's exactly how my chest is. Started from the bottom and ended half way up. I'm going to have to try these tips.
When I do push-ups, I never feel my chest. I always feel my shoulders. He's so right about this

His shoulders and traps in that little PIP at the end. Sheeeeeeesh.
Every time Jay opens his mouth I’m like that’s my routine and idol 😂
Literally lol, I have the same chest issue and switched to dumbbells
@@fishfan2 I started doing dumbells over regular flat bench and it progressed my bodybuilding folds over barebell. But I do hit incline and focus on contraction like Jay said and it’s made a huge difference in my upper pecs!

Great info
Any tips on how to build a lower chest? I have high pectoral inserts
Same boat, trying to isolate chest more as shoulders dominate a lot of movements even if adjusting form.
Thanks Jay!
That's great advice. I have big shoulders and it feels like they just soak up all the work. On top of that, I'm older so they ache all the time.
Free advice from Cutler, I'll take it ty Jay.
I’ve been hitting the pec deck lately and it seems to be giving me the best pump. It’s also the first time my chest has been sore in awhile.
What an awesome dude
Thanks big J, I have the same issue, some have even said I have a hole in my chest =(
The striations in Jay’s chest says it all
He sounds just like Peter griffin 😂. Close your eyes and try it
Uncle Jay went from a supposed underdeveloped chest to a more massive chest than hulk
jay at his best over anyone
I have this kind of chest too, it starts from the bottom and ends halfway from the top, also with overactive shoulders... soo tough to activate the upper pecs🥲
Me too jay, me too...
I have the same issue as him, I almost don't have an upper chest but I have big wide shoulsers and a big lower pec
Same here, what is your plan with thickening the upper portion the best way ?
thats the opposite for me jay my chest and back is usually the easiest to grow for me
Did you ever do decline chest exercises??
My shoulders are probably my most developed muscles on my upper body as well… but my chest is underdeveloped especially my upper chest… just as you said I’m struggling with my shoulders not dominating the workouts.

Will doing push-ups everyday eventually bring up my bench press strength ?
Sir what do you think about negative bench press
He,s right as usual 😁🇦🇺 dips are great to.
Most efficient shorts ever
Actually feels like he's giving the tip directly to me because all my muscles grow alot quicker then my chest... Especially my legs they are the easiest in my opinion..
I've made the most progress by implementing a few different fly variations. My pecs seem to respond to the deep stretch.
I still have the same problem. If I do a set on shoulders and go back to bench I won’t feel anything
Same mine shoulder are huge and my chest always seem underdeveloped
