@onlyjzable Don't do it every day. Make this part of a bigger, harder bicep excercise routine and do it perhaps 3-4 times a week (giving that you want to build muscle). The muscles need time for growth and repair, that's where the actual hypertrophy of the muscle comes from. Eat lots of protein after each workout (i.e chicken)

Man!! This will kick your ass!! I have been following you for about 3 days.
Thanks for the inspiration, means alot. What's up with the chest though? I have been doing clock push-ups and dips. You have no vids. Also! I don't have pull-up bars and can't seem to find anything outside....any advice? Thanks! Much love and respect!!
Nothing!! All the tree branches are either rotten or out of alignment/uneven.
There is however, this pull up bar "As seen on tv" at the local Dollar General store. Smh! Every time that I pick it up, I hold the box, starring at it for about 7mins. Ambivalent as ever!! Is it worth it? It's only 20 bucks............I guess I will just break the kids little swing set outside. -_^ Maybe, just maybe it'll suffice.
@getsomemoon1 i have a whole box full of biceps exercises i mix n' match with...depends on my energy level, sometimes i start with these other times i'll finish with em
21's are a great workout. actually the first time ive tried this, im not kidding you i saw results the next morning haha. my bi's havnt goten smaller since then either so this is a great workout!
Hi brother, keep up the nice work. Excellent video, one question: so you said we can do these with hammer curls, right? Thank you in advance sir. Have a nice day. Also, I see your one of the few people that response at a timely manner.
I going to have to try that today if make it to gym,You know that your arm are really big. I got tell you from person that stand 6ft1inches and weight some park of 220 with arm that are just 16inches.
hey shake, me and a bunch of my friends have been looking for someone with amazing arms like yours and we wanted to ask if u can msg us a workout or post a workout video of how to get tall big round biceps like yours. We can subscribe or donate money whatever you would like, we are really desperate.
Can enyone help me im 15 and im traying to get big biseps and im useing 30pounds each hand what well u wight well u perfer for me i do 3 sets of 10-12
@Brogden10 thanks!!! yeah, these burn hardcore....DON'T CHEAT AT ALL! If you start to cheat, stop...rest and wait till you can do them again without cheating. Cheating on any lift will only hurt your process. and yeah, 15 lbs is awesome for these...just don't cheat!! :/
Thank you so much you have helped me to become more healthy! I'm what you might call chubby or weak but because of your videos I'm on a path to be more healthy. Nice body by the way
i have done 21's but for some reason no matter how much weight i use or how strict the movement is i feel like im not getting bigger. Is there anything im doing wrong?
@metalmash19 patience! our arms, like a vegetable garden, need time to grow. if you're not doing pullups already, START NOW! make sure you control the movement on the 21s....don't force any reps and do not swing your arms.
@metalmash19 YES! You have so many more years to build muscle....keep working out and you'll see your size increase immensely as your body starts to mature and the testosterone kicks into overdrive!
@shakelightly I did both variations (curls and hammers) as a finisher on arm day today. I was completely blitzed at the end. The hold for 20 seconds at the end was brutal. That hurt like hell. Great stuff. Thanks again for the tips. Subbed for sure.
@TheStressMonkey glad you liked that one! try this next time: 5 pullups/set of 21s, 4 pullups/set of 21s, 3 pullups/set of 21s and end it with 7 pullups.
What weight would you recommend for me to do this? Right now, I can do about 12-13 palm-out curls (don't know the technical name-sorry!) going all the way up and down with 35 lbs.
@westhe32nd I actually don't like to go too heavy with these. In the video I'm using 20 lbs but usually I'll go as low as 12.5 lbs. Whichever weight you choose, just make sure you're able to perform the exercise correctly without using your back to get the weight up.
This isn't new. These are 21's and learned this in high school and even read it in Arnold's book. Still good though. Not the BEST exercise to build biceps. If you really want to overload your biceps to stimulate growth do chin ups, chin down and really flex your bicep doing it. This is more of an endurance or a plateau buster exercise.
@PalmerLalmer thanks for the comment and subscription! I don't really focus on my diet too much (especially concerning when I eat---whenever I have the time to eat, I eat). I make sure what I eat is always fresh and contains nothing artificial. Everyday, I try and eat a combination of whole grains, fruits and veggies and any kind of meat which is priced within my budget for the day.
hey, you always show the inspiration and motivation to those beginner in gym !! great job !! think i can learn things from you for your videos huh..upload more please and thansk you all the videos !! you really look damn great !! do you focus on your meal??
@choonvun when it comes to meals, it's all about calories in versus calories out. plus, eating decent foods...no donuts and candy but even pizza is ok. i love pizza, it fuels a lot o my workouts! i'll try and do a nutrition video soon. Thanks!!!
This works!!
Thanks.
