      Ok I have noticed 21's becoming popular recently all over the shop, for those who dont know what it is, its 21 barbell curls.
      got a few questions!!

      First question, why?? Why 21? Why not 22 or 25?
      Why don't we do 21 reps on bench etc if 21 reps is optimal for muscle growth (because it's not would be the short answer)
      Why is this popular across the board??
      Who decided this would be a good idea for biceps??
      Guessing it's just for pump, but still I can think of better ways to get a pump!!
      What's the deal here??
      What am I missing??

      Enlighten me

      Sorry

      People doing it for the pump. TBH I never chase the pump I chase the growth!

      the numbers thing isnt really important at all imo i've done 7 reps of each = 21 or 10 reps or even 5.
      but i only tend to do them at the end of my bicep session just to completely fry them.
