Experienced bodybuilders have probably used the 21's technique at one time or another in their quest for huge arms. The technique was quite popular back in the days of Arnold and co. This 21:21 workout will give you an amazing yet painful pump which should spur your biceps into new growth! at the very least you will be very sore for a few days :)
For those not familiar with 21's basically what you do is take a loaded barbell and curl 7 reps in the lower half of the rep then immediately do another 7 reps in the upper half of the rep before finishing with 7 full reps.
The 21:21 method uses 21's as it's basis but consists of 3 exercises done in a tri-set (consecutive sets with no rest) for 7 rotations, so in total 21 sets of 21 reps hence the name 21:21.
The three exercise you are going to use are barbell curls, cable curls and hammer curls so load up a barbell and take it over to the cable station, then take your dumbbells there too! you will need roughly 50-60% of the weight you would usually use for a 8-10 rep set.
Now start with a set of 21's with barbell curls, when done don't rest and do the same with the cable curls then it's straight to the hammer curls (curl both arms simultaneously). Are your biceps pumped yet? they should be burning already! Rest for about a minute, 90 seconds at the most then repeat until you have done 7 rotations. That's it nothing complicated but try it and I guarantee you will hate me :)
