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
Wow, I built my arms with 21s curls in high school. Never heard anyone talk about it

Much appreciated Daniel Been watching your channel for years and it has transformed my strength & body for the better 💪
Something fun to add to my pull day. Thanks!

I've had two herniated discs. Speaking from experience. There isn't a particular exercise that will rectify it. You have to figure out what works for you.
@AngeloManzi

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.
Great video as always 🔥💯
Dobry pomysł na zastosowanie starej metody💪
Interesting vid I will try this next workout
Amazing video!! 😮 My arms were “smokin” after doing these. 21s will definitely challenge you!!
Really good. I'll be starting those today. Yes, and it'll likely be rounds of 15, making sure form and tempo are good. Thanks again!
Thanks man literally yesterday was thinking about doing something different for biceps thanks broo❤
Always great content! Thanky you.
I really appreciate it! Keep sharing your valuable knowledge with the calisthenics community. Best regards
Thanks. I just tried this. I’ll be doing these again! 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.
Always love the content you put out!
Thank you I’ll try this one out 🔥🔥
i will definitely try it. Thanks sir you're like a big brother to me.
Thanks, coach.
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.
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.
Saw a similar workout for pull ups at the renaissance periodization channel, didn't know you could use it for curls or tricep extensions. Great video.
Cool idea!💡
I just did this earlier and it was intense in 3 rounds of 21.
Tried this when you mentioned it in another video a while back. Can confrim... THEY'RE HARD. And I haven't felt bicep stimulus (or soreness) like that in a LONG time.
Thanks for the this video! Wow just yesterday I was thinking I'd like to do something like think this in my new workout for an upper body pull exercise
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.
Sir , I am watching always your video,

How effective would 21s be with pullups to specifically target the back muscles for max gains?
Can we apply 21's with the push-ups to get the same effect?
@nbkw48
Ай бұрын
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'd do them for higher reps in each range. Also, using a deficit would make the partials more effective 😊
I'll start with 3x5 15s or 3x6 18s
Please you amd saturnomovement combined one video with exercise
Turkish subtitle, please 🌿 Thank you, love from Türkiye ❤
That's correctly true 21s are old school but So effective anyway you are leveling up our life training broo
We can do it and with neutral or prone grip also
Over time partials, 21's, strengthen the weak area through the full range of motion. We work this with push-ups and upright rows with kettle bells. Keep it fun. Train for life.
Sounds cool 😊
Nearly all incremental upgrades in knowledge are a step closer to functional strength training. Bicep curls are weak at the peak of the curl. Fill in those gaps and boom, you'll have benefits.
Updated ring pelican curl tutorial please
Daniel could you talk about the brachialis (vs "biceps") ?
Years ago I started watching Scooby (old school body builder on KZread). He preached 21s all the time. I’ve loved them ever since. Then, try 21s with dumbbells on an incline bench 🥵🥵
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?
Why don't you use the false grip in this exercise? Or to ask in a clearer way: for which exercises the false grip and for which the normal one?
i finish it off with a final 7 full range
I’m gonna start with 3s 💪
Sold!

Pullups and chinups always made my biceps flat lol. It's weird. Like they get small. I have to do direct bicep work.
Yeeeaaaah I can only manage 6's so I'll start there.

If there's enough ROM in the movement and you choose a challenging intensity for you, yes. Apply the difficulty concept taught in this video
Can’t do one, let alone 21’s.
