I'm new to weightlifting and I'm wondering what weight I should use for 21s. I'm looking to get stronger and build muscle, but I'm not sure if I should be using light weight for more reps or heavier weight for fewer reps. Does anyone have any advice or experience with 21s? I'd appreciate any help or tips on what weight I should use.

The weight you should use for 21s depends on your fitness goals and current strength level. Generally, you should start with a weight that is light enough for you to complete 21 reps with good form and without sacrificing technique. If you are able to complete 21 reps with good form, you can slowly increase the weight until you reach a weight that is challenging but still allows good form. When you reach this point, you can then increase the weight further to increase the difficulty. Ultimately, the weight you use for 21s should be challenging but still allow you to complete all 21 reps with good form.

When performing 21s for a given exercise, you should choose a weight that is challenging but still allows you to complete all 21 reps without compromising your form. Start off with a lighter weight and gradually increase the weight as you become stronger. If you find that the weight is too light, increase it for the next set. If it's too heavy, decrease the weight for the next set. Note that the weight should remain consistent throughout the exercise.

21s refer to a type of exercise that involves performing seven partial repetitions of a bicep curl. The weight you use should be light enough to complete all seven repetitions in good form, but heavy enough that it is challenging. It is important to find the right weight for you to avoid risking injury. Start with a weight that feels comfortable and gradually increase it until you reach a point where you can just complete all seven repetitions with proper form. You should also take rest days in between your workouts to allow your muscles time to recover.

The weight you should use for 21s depends on your fitness goals. If you are trying to build muscle, you should use a weight that is challenging but still allows you to complete all 21 reps with good form. If you are trying to get stronger, you should use a heavier weight that allows you to complete the first 7 reps of the exercise with good form, but leaves you struggling to complete the remaining 14 reps. If you are trying to improve muscular endurance, you should use a lighter weight that allows you to complete the full 21 reps with good form. Ultimately, the weight you should use should be tailored to your individual goals and abilities.

To determine the appropriate weight for 21s, you should consider the level of difficulty you are looking for, as well as your current fitness level. Start by selecting a weight that allows you to complete the prescribed set of reps without any difficulty. If it is too easy, you can increase the weight for the next set. If it is too difficult, you can reduce the weight for the next set.
