Jay Cutler<\/a> hasn\u2019t forgotten the go-to exercises that defined his bodybuilding career. In a YouTube video aired on June 30, 2026, he revealed why the leg extension machine was his number one movement for a quad pump.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Cutler paid his dues before reaching the top of the Men\u2019s Open class. He finished runner-up behind Ronnie Coleman<\/a> four times before etching his name into the history books. The 2006 Mr. Olympia<\/a> was Cutler\u2019s crowning moment, and many thought he\u2019d hold down the throne for years to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, two years later, Dexter Jackson<\/a> caught him slipping and took the Sandow trophy. Cutler was counted out ahead of the 2009 Mr. Olympia, but the outside noise didn\u2019t affect his preparations. He earned the nickname \u2018Comeback Kid\u2019 with his iconic quad stomp pose<\/a>, and before calling it a career, secured a total of four Mr. Olympia titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n In retirement, Cutler\u2019s legs are still a massive strength. He continues to train seven days a week<\/a>, offering fans and bodybuilders workout advice backed up by experience. This led him to break down why the leg extension machine was critical to his success and lower-body dominance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
