A prime example of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/jay-cutlers-top-25-training-techniques\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cutler\u2019s ability to think outside of the box<\/a> was illustrated in a recent Instagram post when the bodybuilding icon flipped his machine triceps dips. But why does he do it?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow the machine is a little different,\u201d explained Cutler. \u201cI feel like I can lock-in with a machine, because of the different grips. That\u2019s one ideal reason why I like using machines,\u201d explained the Olympia legend in a recen post for his 5.6 million Instagram followers.<\/p>\n<p>While traditional dips rely on stabilizing muscles like the lats and core to support our body weight and stop us from swinging side-to-side, the triceps dip machine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/workouts\/arm-exercises\/the-10-most-effective-triceps-exercises-for-size-and-strength\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">isolates the triceps muscles<\/a> in a more targeted fashion, while also making it easier to add weight. During the course of his demonstration, the big man wasn\u2019t suggesting that body weight dips are a lesser exercise than the machine-based alternatives. Far from it. This icon knows that they provide additional benefits such as improved stability, but machine triceps dips do allow for a more specific workout when it comes to building the heads of the triceps, with features like an adjustable seat to help find your peak position. And, with more angles to be explored, the \u201cQuad Stomper\u201d led the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Jay Cutler Sits Backward on the Triceps Dip Machine<\/h2>\n<p>Cutler explained to his followers that a varied approach to triceps workouts is essential, because this means that you will be putting your body into different positions to work the fibers from different angles. But in order to find an angle that most hadn\u2019t even considered, Cutler flipped his dips. \u201cI\u2019m actually in the machine backwards just because I feel like I can get more lock on that triceps right there,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, each position, a little hold at the bottom for a second, really get that contraction, lock-in.\u201d By sitting backwards, Cutler grips the handles from a different angle, with his thumbs higher, more akin to a hammer grip. When sitting forward however, the thumbs point towards the floor.<\/p>\n<p>While demonstrating this tactical triceps move, Cutler provided some additional tips. \u201cNow remember, we want a steady motion with this,\u201d he advised. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the few movements that you actually lock-out. And what I\u2019m trying to build is more thickness to the triceps. So, I\u2019m really trying to build that horseshoe (shape)\u2026. Now the weight doesn\u2019t have to be crazy, just gotta get that feel, that crazy pump, and make your side-triceps your best pose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you are ready to go back to the future with this Olympia icon, give it a try for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jaycutler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more innovative movements, follow Jay Cutler on Instagram, click here.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/jay-cutlers-backward-triceps-dip-hack-for-bigger-thicker-arms\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s always a pre-conceived \u2018right way,\u2019 and \u2018wrong way\u2019 of performing an exercise, but when four-time Mr Olympia Jay Cutler tells you to try something backwards, you\u2019d be foolish not to turnaround and give it a go.
