Cutler was a bodybuilding icon as a 4x Mr. Olympia spanning from 2006-2010 and a 6x runner-up. At 5’9” tall, he’s still considered one of the best bodybuilders and managed an epic rivalry with 8x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. Still, he’s managed to stay in fantastic shape well after retirement.
Jay Cutler’s Chest Day Finisher
Jay Cutler hits this machine at the end of his workout to fill his chest even more.
“Remember chest out, my back is tightly against and the shoulders are back. Watch how my chest stays forward. Get that good stretch.”

Cutler does not load up weight on this machine. Instead, he focuses on the movement to get the best form and stretch possible.
“Not a ton of weight here but I’m going to feel this all the way through my pec even into my upper pecs. It’s all about the feel of the motion guys. It’s not about the weight. I know it’s cool. Pay attention where my hands are. They’re on the bar itself. I feel like I have a little more control and little more stretch.”
Variations of Flyes
There are many different variations of flyes that can benefit weightlifters in the gym:
- Incline Dumbbell Flyes: Perform on an incline bench to target the upper chest.
- Decline Dumbbell Flyes: Use a decline bench to focus on the lower chest.
- Cable Flyes: Use cable machines for a constant tension alternative to dumbbell flyes.
- Pec Deck Machine: Utilize the pec deck machine for a guided and stable fly motion.
For Jay Cutler, this might occur at the end of a workout and let’s him leave the gym feeling good — which is the main goal.
“The whole goal is visual and how I feel, and I feel there’s a lot of blood in there. When I judge my workouts, it might not be by sets or rep numbers, it’s how I feel.”
