« on: May 27, 2011, 01:16:04 PM »

7 reps top half of movement
7 reps bottom half to lock out
7 reps full movement

Why do you think 'frying' your muscles is the best strategy for making gains?

The 21s are great for juicers, but only for them. A natural has zero benefit from them.

I will...does it matter which "handle" you use? I like using the "V Grip" one, as I feel it more in the outside head.

that's my favorite attachment.. i alternate between that and the cambered handle
i did them last though
today after chest my tri routine was
weighted dips
close grip benches
then 21 pushdowns for tris

I do 21's for bench press, pecs are better defined and harder from them now as are the tri's
great finishing move to incorporate with cable pressdowns
7 reps top half of movement
7 reps bottom half to lock out
7 reps full movement
fries the triceps... made good gains from these

anyone else have any tri faves tips

Is it ok to do 24's instead of 21's?

Don't act like you invented this 21, you seen ronnie doing them for bicep curls.

anyway ive noticed tri's need a lot of reps and sets otherwise they dont grow for shits
