    Today we’re going to talk about 5 exercises that need to go away FOREVER, but never will. Some of these exercises are exercises that are just completely useless, and some of these exercises are variations of what you’re supposed to do, but people do them a different way because either they want to lift more weight, or they’ve been fed a nice plate of bro science and they just don’t know better. After today, hopefully, if you’re doing any of these 5 exercises, you’ll not only know what not to do, but I’ll teach you the proper way to do them OR an alternative exercise to help you maximize your gains in the gym!
    Exercise #1: Bicep 21s
    I know so many of you are thinking ‘no, 21s are the best exercise ever, I get a really big pump when I do them!’ Well, a pump doesn’t build muscle! A pump is blood being forced to the area, not necessarily muscle breakdown for regrowth. In fact, 21s were originally invented for SHOULDERS, and it wasn’t doing a lateral raise with half reps, it was invented to hit all three heads of your shoulders. You would do 7 front raises, 7 lateral raises, and 7 rear deltoid raises, that’s what a true 21 is.
    The 21 variation that gained a lot of popularity because of the ‘pump’, was where you start with 7 reps doing just the bottom half of a bicep curl, then 7 reps doing just the top half, and then 7 reps where you use full range of motion. Now I’m not trying to say you’re dumb for doing this, because I used to do these all the time, but it was because I didn’t know better, and that’s what everyone in the gym was doing. If you’re currently doing this, it’s not doing much for you. A lot of people will say if you do the half reps at the top, that works the biceps peak more, but that’s not true. There’s two heads in the biceps - the inside head and the outside head. The outside head is the peak, and if you want to grow the peak you need to do exercises that place more emphasis on the outside head. The top range of motion of a bicep curl doesn’t do that.
    Now if you’re looking for something more intense that’s ACTUALLY going to give you a better muscle building opportunity, then I want you to try something I invented called MERCY 30s, and they’re labelled this way because they are INTENSE! The way you perform a mercy 30, is you start off with a wide grip and curl all the way up and all the way down for 10 repetitions. As soon as you finish those 10, you’re going to use an inside grip for 10 repetitions, and then as soon as you finish 10 with an inside grip, you’re going to use a neutral grip for 10 more reps to make 30 repetitions total. The reason why that works better than 21s is because on every single rep for mercy 30s, you’re working through the entire range of motion. Also, if you didn’t know, with an inside grip you target more of the outside head of your bicep, with an outside grip you target more of the inside head, and with a neutral grip you target both heads equally.
    Exercise #2: Close-Grip Bench Press
    This isn’t on the list because the close-grip bench press isn’t a great exercise for triceps, it’s just that people like to do it wrong. You’ve probably seen it in your gym hundreds of times, where people go up to the bar and pick it up with their hands about 3 inches away from each other. As they go down, their wrists tend to bend in an awkward way, and when you’re lifting a lot of weight this form places a tremendous amount of pressure on your wrists and it can actually start to put some pressure in your elbows as well. I’m not sure where the idea came from, but people seem to think they can target the triceps more by benching this way, or they think that because the exercise is called ‘close-grip bench press’, that they have to grab as close as humanly possible. If you’re doing your close-grip bench press like this, you’re doing it wrong.

      Hi Scott.
      It's my chest routine.
      (1 Exercise) 6 sets of incline barbell bench press
      (2 Exercise) Peck Dec Flys 4 Sets
      (3) Exercise) 6 Sets of dumbbell pullovers
      (4 Exercise) 3 sets of Cable Flys.
      What you think? Do I need to change anything or continue doing it?
      Ps: I love ur chest

      Hey Scott. When u are performing a particular exercise, do you do a brief 2 second pause at the contracted position (isometric hold) before returning the weight to the starting position? I dont see this technique used alot and am wondering if this is really beneficial for addititional muscle breakdown?

    Great video Scott! But for barbell hip thrusts, hyperextending at the top is not the best position. It puts a lot of strain on the lower back, and you are better off focusing on contracting the glutes while looking forward instead of up. This will help to get full contraction and not harm the lower back.

    Thanks for tip on the tricep kickback! Never really thought about it like that, but it makes perfect sense...I'll try the cable version next time I'm at the gym. Also the Merci 30s look pretty interesting, will give that a go as well! :)

      said chikago don't relax your shoulders and shoulder blades at the end of the rep and keep it packed throughout the range of motion. If all your stabilisers are activated then your problem will be solved.

  • @laurensgosling8116
    @laurensgosling8116 6 років тому +14

    I agree with almost everything but the 1st one: The 21s, for me they simply work good as some kind of finisher. They feel good and are difficult to perform with moderate weight. I find it better with a straight bar aswell instead of using an EZ. If I do that and use my mind muscle connection I will have results from it. I also like to point out that we all know. That we all have different bodies who respond to different kind of muscle stimulation. It might not work for you or most people but it does for me. There's nothing more I could say about it. All the rest you said about the top 5 I agree with. And 1 comment on the Close grip tricep bench press I don't even do it with a barbell anymore since I feel more my shoulders being activated than my triceps. I do feel them however doing them with an EZ Bar. Or with the seated pushdown press.

    • @ScottHermanFitness
      @ScottHermanFitness  6 років тому +32

      You’re right, people do respond better to different exercises, and these are ones that aren’t for me.. but for the 21s, think about this.. you’re doing 14 half reps and 7 full ROM reps.. that’s 14 wasted reps.. imagine if you did 21 full ROM reps OR 30 full ROM reps with my mercy 30s.. imagine how much BETTER your gains would be 🤔💪🏻👍🏻

    • @laurensgosling8116
      @laurensgosling8116 6 років тому +19

      I agree, although I have to say that building muscle isn't Always based on science but instead on your own effort, and experience you gain from it. I will try to perform them 30s, but I honestly can't say anything bad from the 21s aswell. Your professionalism is however truely appreciated.

      Take your ''haha'' elsewhere ''bro'', never claimed I got it from science, never claimed it was approved by science. It's just my personal experience and results who speak against science. Which brings me to the point that people should look less at the science and more into the work. Cause you know all the answers yet the results for most of you people are hard to find.
