21's

[Longcut]

At the end of my bicep and tricep days I like to finish up with "21's" where you do

7 reps half way (example for biceps starting with arm fully extended and lifting the weight until your forearm is parallel to the floor then going back down fully extended)

7 reps the other half way (starting with forearms parallel to the floor and lifting weights until arms are folded, forearm is touching bicep)

7 full reps

I really concentrate on squeezing my tri/bi for a second and slowly lowering the weights back down

Here's my questions-

I don't feel the reps that I do starting half way as much as the lower half reps and the full reps, is this a technique issue?

Also should I stand with my feet together or feet apart? Knees slightly bent? what do I need to focus on poster wise? I try and keep my chin up my elbow in place and really concentrate on my tri/bi

Is this almost like a baby form of HRT training? I know I am not lifting 70-80% of my max but isn't the fundamentals of how I'm doing my reps the same just with lower weight? Also I realize this is only one excersise and doesn't have the volume of a HRT workout.

Lastly, I broke my wrist last forth of July 2011 and I've noticed the heavier I lift it tends to get really fatigued. I am worried that if I countinue getting stronger my wrist will become a issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Your stronger on the top part of the lift. Shoulder width apart, never lock out your knees, slightly bent, elbows by sides. 21s is focusing on different part of the exercise,HRT focuses on negatives.

Duh I didn't make that connection with HRT and the negative focus

That makes sense you are stronger on the upper lift.

Thanks for clearing up the footing.
