Winning Mr. Olympia once is a great achievement. But winning it 4 times as Jay Cutler has done is sensational.

I have been following Jay Cutler for a long time now.  His bodybuilding training techniques are remarkable. In fact, I have tried out some of them and attained some positive results.

If you would like to know what it takes to succeed as he did, or just want a few tips for taking your own bodybuilding plans to the next level, then check out the workout routine and diet details we have collected from dozens of interviews.

Jay Cutler Workout Routine

The important thing is that each training session has to bring intensity. Jay is a big believer in bringing the burn to a maximum on each set, which is very obvious in his workout routine.

A post shared by Mr Olympia Jay Cutler (@jaycutler)

Between massive action at the gym and making many different unflavored protein powders as part of your daily meal plan, this workout routine and diet program are recipes for success.

According to an article published by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), incorporating a workout routine and diet program into your lifestyle can lead to maintaining a healthy weight, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, and improving overall health [1].

The Jay Cutler Diet Plan

diet meal plan

Jay Cutler’s diet is another area that I researched with great interest. As indicated by my tests with various diet plans, I've found that a strategy similar to Jay Cutler's, is highly effective for sustained energy and muscle growth.

The one thing we noted in his diet is that rather than dive into a few very large meals to get about 5,000 calories per day, he would spread things ot over nine meals.
