Bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler<\/a> is still training seven days a week in retirement. On March 30, 2026, he shared why strict form on barbell curls isn\u2019t necessary for growing the best biceps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis is your sign to stop listening to the form police and start growing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Cutler\u2019s bodybuilding career took off quickly. After taking runner-up behind Ronnie Coleman<\/a> at the Mr. Olympia a handful of times, Cutler reached the top of the sport in 2006. However, in 2008, Dexter Jackson<\/a> prevented him from having a long reign at the Mr. Olympia.\u00a0<\/p>\n The setback fueled one of bodybuilding\u2019s greatest comebacks. Cutler showcased a new level of condition and fullness at the 2009 Mr. Olympia<\/a> and reclaimed his title. Before calling it a career, he secured the Sandow trophy four times. While training has changed since he was a 260-pound mass monster, he still builds his biceps<\/a> just as he did during his prime.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the YouTube video, Cutler shares that he always feels his exercises, even when his form isn\u2019t the most strict. Just like bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>, getting the weight up was most important, with form often coming second.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
