What is the optimal time for muscle recovery after training? Jay Cutler can help you with that

Jay Cutler is one of the most famous bodybuilders to ever walk the competition boards. He earned his pro card in 1996 and made his pro debut in 1998 at the Night of Champions in New York, where he finished 11th. In 1999, he competed for the first time at Mr. Olympia, where he took 15th place. A year later, he achieved his first victory at a professional competition when he won Night of Champions and finished 8th at Mr. Olympia.

The year 2003 was called "The Year of Jay Cutler" by newcomers because he won the Ironman Pro Invitational, the Arnold Classic, the San Francisco Pro Invitational and also won the English and Dutch Grand Prix. But he was still waiting to win the prestigious Olympia.

He won his first title at the most prestigious bodybuilding competition in 2006 and defended his win in the next three editions. So Jay has four Mr. Olympia wins to his credit!

Jay recently spoke openly about his doping. As part of the current challenge, Jay stressed that he will definitely not be taking Trenbolone and will stick to testosterone replacement therapy only. In an interview in his latest podcast, he talked about his decision to get back in shape and mentioned that he is still taking 200 milligrams of testosterone cypionate per week.

"No, no. I'm on TRT, 200 cypionate a week. I have no reason to lie. I have no reason to lie," Cutler laughs.

But many of you are still wondering what tip Jay gave his fans about muscle recovery. Let's take a look at it together.

"If I were to train my biceps, I would give myself 5 to 7 days of rest in between. Research shows that when you train a muscle with a lot of volume, you need 72 hours to recover that muscle group. So I would definitely say 72 hours of rest before you start training it again, I'm not saying you can't shock the body and train it multiple times."
