Here\u2019s how to try it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlate loaded machine dips for triceps\u2026 with a little twist,\u201d teased Cutler as he introduced a move that has been one of the mainstays of his illustrious bodybuilding career. In the accompanying video, Cutler lays it all out. The focus here is on the long head of the triceps. This is the biggest muscle of the triceps and provides that bulging shape that bodybuilders seek to attain.<\/p>\n<p>While Cutler explains that some people love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/arm-exercises\/10-best-bodyweight-exercises-build-your-triceps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">traditional bodyweight dips<\/a> and can also strap additional weights around their waist, the icon shares that he\u2019s always been a fan of the seated plate loaded machine dip, but with a difference. \u201cPeople are facing in on the machine, that\u2019s what it\u2019s kind of built for,\u201d says Cutler of the traditional approach to this apparatus. \u201cBut you know, we can\u2019t always follow what the rules of the machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Jay Cutler Faces Away From the Seated Dip Machine<\/h2>\n<p>Instead of facing forward, Cutler instead faces away from the machine. \u201cTo really get that lock in my triceps, I\u2019ll turn around in the opposite direction,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd what I\u2019m focussed on, is the thicker portion of the triceps.\u201d To maximize his rep-to-muscle ratio, the legend explains that he aims for a weight that is heavy enough so that he can perform at least 8 reps per set. This makes sense as it puts him in that hypertrophy sweet spot of 8-12 reps. \u201cBut with this, I always really want to get that contraction kind of locked out at the bottom,\u201d he adds. \u201cReally get that stretch at the top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To replicate Cutler\u2019s rebellious reps, face away from the machine and place your grip in the middle of each handle. \u201cGet those triceps back,\u201d says the big man as he executes the exercise. \u201cGet that contraction, get that squeeze.\u201d Cutler says that he doesn\u2019t hold the weight at the bottom of the lift. \u201cI\u2019ve done these pretty much my whole career,\u201d says the popular athlete. \u201cAlways felt a good pump out of it. Just remember, that\u2019s kind of how I\u2019m judging the workouts is how much blood actually gets in the muscle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cutler says to practice this exercise at least every other week. \u201cIf not, every week in your routine,\u201d he adds.
