    21's are a popular bodybuilding workout method. Training the full range combined with partials at the top and bottom works wonders. This is conventionally used for bicep curls in the gym. However, this video shows how to apply a calisthenics twist to this classic move with chin-ups. The science explains why this method is most effective for muscle growth. Hypertrophy training is about keeping things fun so we can get bigger long term.

I've been doing machine assisted Pull-Ups lately, I am on 90 lb resistance for weight, but almost ready to do the next notch which is down to 70 lb resistance weight which is pretty decent considering I'm about 253 lb and I started at the worst resistance back in August of 2023, which I want to say was 150 pounds resistance

  • @powerandpresence5290

    For a hell on wheels triset, try Ron Laura’s matrix system, developed 40 years ago. Choose 3 different exercises for one body part. e.g. for chest. incline bench 5 full reps, 5 half up, five half down, 5 full reps. Rest 15-20 secs. Dumbbell flies 10-15 full reps. Rest 15-20 secs, then do flat dumbbell bench press 5-5-5-5 again, same as for first exercise. You can rest two mins then repeat the entire triset, just changing the order of the exercises. And you can go for a third round after two more mins rest:
    This is inhumanly painful at first, but you will adapt after a few weeks. And yes, you have to use embarrassingly light weights, often 30-50% what you’d use for a normal set. But if you can get over the ego fall, and all your bros sayin’ “you train like a girl,” you can get tremendous benefits from this workout.
    BTW, this is entry level matrix. There are about six levels, each progressively more difficult. Naturally, you can’t do it too often, as you will burn out. I often alternate matrix with conventional weight training, one matrix session for that body part, then about 4 days later do a normal routine for that body part- which seems incredibly easy after doing the matrix system.

      Try keeping elbows in, like imagine squeezing your elbows through the rep. Also check if you are shrugging at the top. Hopefully that helps

      You don't warm up properly and you MUST always do mobility exercises that are for your arms and shoulders
