“Lot of Bro Science Out There”: Jay Cutler Slams Critics With His Reasoning Behind Ideal Workout Splits

The icon began the video with a disclaimer about how there could be preconceived notions surrounding this. But the truth is, there are many ways one could group their workouts in order to achieve optimal results.

“Is push pull legs an optimal split? Now there’s a lot of bro science out there. I know everyone has their perception on how they need to classify their routines.

Cutler first revealed how his gym split worked. He revealed how he grouped different parts of the body and worked on those for the day. So, for arms, he’d group his shoulders with triceps or his back with biceps.

“It does work for a lot of people, especially those that are lifestyle trainers, not necessarily chasing bodybuilding. I was always focused on stage…”

However, he acknowledged that this could be a rather customized and complex option for people who aren’t used to training. For a casual approach, Cutler instead encourages fitness enthusiasts to classify workouts based on movements. So push, pull, back, and leg training should suffice.

Cutler firmly believes that workouts, especially for those just getting started, shouldn’t begin on advanced levels. One could perform simpler movements and follow his tips to get the most out of an exercise.
