    21's are a popular bodybuilding exercise for bicep curls. In this video, you will be shown a 21's home workout using chin-ups instead. You don't need weights or a gym because you will be curling your bodyweight instead. For the goal of muscle growth, 21s offer a lot of volume for bigger biceps. Discover how to make the workout easier or harder from beginner to advanced.

    learned about these during the early stages of my lifting journey.. i was a newly clean recovering addict spending a my first month in in-patient rehab and i had picked up going to the gym as a main pillar of my recovery. my bunky was this gigantic black dude that had done time in prison and looked like a bodybuilder, and I as a young 20 something white kid with not one ounce of muscle on my frame started working out with him everyday and let me tell you... i had never felt muscle soreness like i did after doing a session of arms with my guy. easily some of my favorite exercises to do for arms now

    • @AngeloManzi
      @AngeloManzi Před měsícem +1

      Buy a foam roller and use it every day without fail for at least 5 min. Everyone can spare 5 min, if you do this you’ll thank me because a month later you’ll realize how much better you feel. The reason for this is the herniated discs bring the most pain when things are out of alignment. A foam roller will help you keep things in alignment daily, making the pain disappear altogether pretty much instantly.

    I managed 7 full ROM, then 3 reps at the top before my tendons felt as though they were going to ping right off my elbows like elastic bands. I’m just not used to having the reps that high. I’m more about weighted pull-ups and high pulls for lower reps.

  • @rickyrick6901

    The problem with pull-ups is that you also work the back muscles but also, especially with this grip, that it "abuses" the elbow joint, as well as the triceps tendons.

  • @dogsartandhealth
    @dogsartandhealth Před měsícem +1

    We did these in my High School "Physical Conditioning" PE class. It was just a technique passed down through the generations of the class, i guess. It would give you a crazy pump. They can get stale if you do them consistently for a couple weeks so you just throw them in for a while and then go back to standard rep schemes.

  • @felipearbustopotd
    @felipearbustopotd Před měsícem

    Cool - been doing something similar as in mixing up the reps as shown. They key for me was that the bicep ( done on other muscles as well ) was always under constant tension regardless of where I was in the range of movement. I would do it until I had no more reps left within me before I stopped.

    • @nbkw48
      @nbkw48 Před měsícem

      Conceptually why not? but tbh, 7 - 7 -7 pushups would be stupidly easy. Your tris are far more resistant to fatigue than your biceps so it’d need to be more like 20-20-20 at a bare minimum.

    I know it's not the subject of the video, but I'm putting together a core workout and crunches are very easy, so I created a variation that's like a mix between the crunche and the hollow body hold, I do the crunches normally but instead of the legs bent and on the floor, I keep them straight and in the air to make it difficult, I wanted your opinions on whether this is inefficient or good
    Edit: and if is good what should i call this exercise?
