Training the hands by the method of Jay Cutler

Being a four-time Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler knows what methods should be used to pump up the champion's hand as it should. Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger, who believes that the most important thing is lifting the weight, Cutler uses another system. In his opinion, the maximum load should be directed to the muscle. For example, biceps the maximum voltage observed on the middle portion of the amplitude, and this means that there is no need to raise the dumbbells to the highest point. If Jay Cutler shakes hands, he with maximum weights produces shock repetition, rather short. That's his style of training. It he advises and to everyone who is properly configured to pump hands.

Jay Cutler advises

  Jay agrees that it is better to conduct simultaneous training of the biceps and triceps. But he trains twice a day. The shakes in the morning, biceps and triceps, respectively, in the evening. This double split he recommends to try for those who is interested in it.

Very large hands, squeezing the Breasts visually, impair the proportions of the body. Need to pay more attention to the size of the deltas. First, you must shake it Delta, and then directly hands. Thus it is necessary to produce a permanent visual control, often need to look in the mirror. To stop swing the hands to the moment when you visually begin to shrink Delta.

For biceps main exercise is lifting barbells standing. Rod becomes heavy really, if the elbows bend at a right angle. By the way Cutler suggests you start an exercise. Need to make powerful short repetition without lifting the barbell to the level of the clavicle because it will be unnecessary amplitude plot.

To train the triceps are used a narrow bench. If the triceps require more attention, you need to do French presses lying.

In addition, Jay recommends that you have to swing the forearm. Big hands impossible to achieve, if the brush is weak.
