For anybody keen on helping build/maintain upper body strength try stair pushups. Spread feet on floor at bottom of steps to shoulder width, and lean down to place fists on the appropriate step. Push off to perform selected number of reps. This exercise replaces the usual posture for pushups, and makes it much easier to do, compared to getting down on the floor. When I discovered the step pushup a couple years ago I could, barely, squeak out 5 or 6. It took a few weeks to get up to speed, enabling 3 sets of 25 reps. I had a health problem that set me back for a while, but am back to the 3X25, today. I have pecks definition for the first time in my life. I'm 83, 205#.
From over 40 years of training experience I would highly discourage anyone from using a straight bar for biceps exercises. The reason is that you force your joints into an unnatural position while putting a lot of strain on them. I learned this the hard way with many months of joint pains as a result. Dumbbells and cables are by far the best to use in order to avoid this problem. If you want to use a bar bell for curl, use a curl bar instead as it puts your joints in a more natural position. I hate to see people make the same mistake and hurt themselves. Bar bell exercises for upper body is just not good in general. You might get away with when you are young but not so much when you get older.
Thank you for this. I have a terrible habit of enduring pain and working through it rather than asking if I am doing damage. I am 58 and have had terrible elbow joint pain but didn’t link this to my use of straight barbell curls. I will switch to dumbbells now.
@@garystroud1629 Yes, that's exactly what happened to me. It will take a while for the joint pains to go away but ever since I switched to dumbbells and cables I never had that problem again.
What I don't understand is all the hate in the comments and other channels who do the same content. These videos help me as I started as a beginner into my last half of my 40's. I already developed Tendonitis in my forearm. That has slowed me down the last couple of years. At age 51 now,I am getting back to lifting and going to get a personal trainer to give me the knowledge I need to move forward and get into a more regular routine. Lighter weights and less volume is alot better for us older folks. You younger ones can handle much more weight and recover alot more easily. I am glad there are weight lifting channels who do address older people. We are out here,trying to improve our lives and prevent alot of ailments that come with older age. Ailments that young people don't understand but you will when you get older. Never stop addressing us older people because we need the help. Gen X will be the Generation that refuses to die and conform because we were rebels to begin with. We will do anything to stay alive and fighting. Healthy eating,exercise,weightlifting,whatever else we need to do. So to all these haters,Old saying: Well you are rubber and I am glue,later on when I talk with my therapist I will talk about you.

The best way to get big arms is to focus on growing your triceps. Your TRI ceps are 3 muscles vs your BI ceps which are 2. Triceps are a larger muscle group on your arm. Of course don’t skip the bicep exercises. but focus more on your triceps.
Thanks. I'm almost 67 and started working out again after about 20 years. I am about 6 months in and getting results but also realize I can't handle the weight I used too. Those look like a great alternative to what I am familiar with. Can't wait to add them to my program.
These are three great bicep exercises. I have performed all three and I'm 60! I especially like the hold for 10 seconds tip at the top of motion when performing drag curls, while also contracting the bicep muscle in this held position! And see why only the barbell itself would serve as sufficient enough weight. Thanks again for the great arm blast tutorial.
@@OfficialBobbyMaximus i have done hammers and 21’s befors. Need to try out drag curls. I will do all 3 in tomorrows workout Bobby. Thanks for the great content and great book
Thank you for the insight 52 years young with some irreversible knee damage About 3 weeks ago incorporated drag curls in my workouts. Using dumbbells but great exercise. (Also doing spider curls too) Great content Absolutely appreciate ya Cheers
I don't get why all These Channels Name their content Special for men over 40 ? Exercises are the Same, No Matter how old you are or what gender. The only question useful to ASK when older is Volume because maybe you can't Recover AS good/fast AS Younger people.
I'm 69 and do a 2hr core workout x 3 ...my muscles grow more now than younger and recover quickly. The thing now is...I'm MORE dedicated and focused on ME! Legs x 2 ...I've become more of a gym rat at my age than any time in my life. And people notice 😊
Because 70% of Americans are fat and out of shape. The daily searches for workouts for older men is staggering. So when a 45 year old man who hasn’t worked out in 20 years goes to RUclips, he’ll search for workouts for “older” men.
Really inspiring. I find (at 67) the hammer curl is easier for me than the flat bar curl so I like the discussion you have brought to that exercise. Best wishes from down in New Zealand.
I'm following you now Sir. I'm just out of bowel cancer surgery and weigh only 55 kilos. Please watch my progress, I'll start as soon as my Doc. allows. Grateful Aussie.
Mr. Maximus, you're on a good path. I just happened to get started in the weight room at 23. I'm 72 now. Speaking only for myself, I learned decades ago the long haul is far more important than seeing oneself self-destruct at a very young age. Guess it depends on many variables. Be wise, see yourself as a SENIOR CITIZEN in top notch over-all health. If your lucky, your cardio, joint health, and brain function will thank you! 😊
So, just to recap, a simple plan that's outlined here done consistently is all that's required to grow larger arms? Im soon to be 64 and really like the idea of a basic strategy. I'll give it a try and thanks.
I love 21’s. I like doing the top half of range first, then full range, then FINISH on the bottom half. The lengthened position of the biceps being the last step is noticeably harder.
The trick is to feel the burn. If you dont feel the burn you are doing too high weights or not enough reps which means you will increase. If you cant increase in time takes some kilos off. I always have some back support so you isolate your arms more and not use your back to assist as much. Pain is the sign of progress but back pain is a sign to stop doing what your doing.
I'll be giving this stuff a go purely out of curiosity. I'm in my sixties and have worked extensively in the construction industry as labourer, hod carrier, groundworker, shutterer, and 1st fix carpenter. I've needed arm strength for all of these and achieved it, but early on, Ihad to accept that I'd never have the bulging biceps. At my strongest, which basically fulfilled all the demands made on me, I still had pipe-cleaner arms albeit with little lumps the size of tennis balls popping out a bit when I bent them. My Dad was the same and he was an RAF middleweight boxing champion. I assume I'm destined to stay wiry (perfectly happy about it, esp. as my wife doesn't fancy men who are too ripped) but I'll give all this a go and see what happens. Of course, if it works at all well, I'll be under a lot of pressure to stop!
Started working on my body by going carnivore....went from 181 down to 157 in 90 days so now I'm focusing on building muscle. Would like to gain 15 lbs of muscle so that I look really good. I have to look good cuz my wife is 31....those younguns be lookin!
Love the addition of the 21’s. Been doing these off and on for years. Preacher 21’s. IMO are the best. Also use 21’s for front lateral and rear dealt flys.
If you raise the dumbbell with the forearm in a neutral position (I.e. thumb up), you’re working the brachioradialis, not the biceps. Also you meant isometrically contract your abdominals, not flex them.
Question to the first exercise: you keep the dumbbells vertical when you move your arms up. Why not horizontally? Which seems to me the most obvious way. Is there a difference?
I am 86 have not worked out for a while just started doing curls and bicep work. I will try the plan he went through using a couple sets only for a while to see how it goes. Thanks
Reps aren't important. Your muscles can't count. They don't keep track. And reps given as advice to the general public can't be accurate seeing that all different types of people are hearing the advice. 20 reps to one person isn't going to feel the same to someone else. Lift until exhaustion. Until your arm simply can't lift up another one. After years of working out, what I see working best is to start with heavy weights, and lift to exhaustion. Then move to another muscle group. Return back to first muscle group, but go down 10 pounds. Lift to exhaustion again. Repeat. You'll get down to where you are doing 5 pound weights to exhaustion. You'll be able to do more than the heavier weights when you started, but you'll see that even at 5 pounds, you get to a rep where you just can't Lift one more. That's truly exhausting the muscle. Where you can get down to 5 pound weights and be worn out.
I like mark twains answer wen someone asked him if he gets any exercise. He answered, "i get my exercise by walking to the funerals of my more athletic friends." Lol🎉

Let me know how they go
Add creatine (10g/day) collagen peptides (10-15g/day) you’ll thank yourself later ….
Add reps and/or slow the tempo. Too much weight is dangerous and frustrating to your goals.

2 of the 3 exercises were low weight and max results. This is important for older folk as less chance of injury which takes longer to recover from.
Especially when the coach doesn't have big biceps himself…

Just found your channel....fantastic tips for biceps.
Great video man!
Great burner, feel that incredible burn. Just curious, it appears at some time you’ve blown your right bicep?
I love the 21s. It really made my biceps pop.
Nice stuff Gona try this thanks
All these exercises are awesome for working out arms. And the beauty is not too much weight is needed.
I love 21’s. I like doing the top half of range first, then full range, then FINISH on the bottom half. The lengthened position of the biceps being the last step is noticeably harder.
They are such a good pump
It doesn’t matter what you wear when you workout your muscles don’t care,hypertrophy will happen If we are consistent and progressive overloading.
Look good = Feel good = perform good.
Good to find a classic military type trainer. Too man other kinds of trainers out there.
The trick is to feel the burn. If you dont feel the burn you are doing too high weights or not enough reps which means you will increase. If you cant increase in time takes some kilos off. I always have some back support so you isolate your arms more and not use your back to assist as much. Pain is the sign of progress but back pain is a sign to stop doing what your doing.
Man nobody really does 21s anymore so glad it's still alive n kicking!!
I often do as a finisher
I do...every single week...the best pump for the biceps ever !
I do it’s the best way to finish off and for an amazing pump your arms will be burning afterwards
I do them frequently and I love them!
I adapt the 21s into all sorts.of workouts...21s for chest....

Yeah totally agree best exercises ever for bicep growth especially those 21s oh maaan but some power curls and cheat curls with slow negative work to
Love the addition of the 21’s. Been doing these off and on for years. Preacher 21’s. IMO are the best. Also use 21’s for front lateral and rear dealt flys.
They are so good
If you raise the dumbbell with the forearm in a neutral position (I.e. thumb up), you’re working the brachioradialis, not the biceps. Also you meant isometrically contract your abdominals, not flex them.
To have really big arms, you must incorporate the triceps. Great bicep movements, though
Good stuff sir!
So question; do I complete all three of these exercises on arm day?
You certainly could. That would be a great workout
Good video. Thank you
Thanks Bobby!
Question to the first exercise: you keep the dumbbells vertical when you move your arms up. Why not horizontally? Which seems to me the most obvious way. Is there a difference?
One is more Brachialis and one is more Bicep
Different exercise. It is called hammer curls because the dumbell is held the same way you would hold a hammer.
Thank you brother ✝️🇺🇸
Looking forward to tryin these out later. I usually take a 2 min rest in-between sets. Does it matter?
60-120sec work for rest periods.
Hammer Curls!

Reps aren't important. Your muscles can't count. They don't keep track. And reps given as advice to the general public can't be accurate seeing that all different types of people are hearing the advice. 20 reps to one person isn't going to feel the same to someone else.
Lift until exhaustion. Until your arm simply can't lift up another one.
After years of working out, what I see working best is to start with heavy weights, and lift to exhaustion. Then move to another muscle group. Return back to first muscle group, but go down 10 pounds. Lift to exhaustion again. Repeat. You'll get down to where you are doing 5 pound weights to exhaustion. You'll be able to do more than the heavier weights when you started, but you'll see that even at 5 pounds, you get to a rep where you just can't Lift one more. That's truly exhausting the muscle. Where you can get down to 5 pound weights and be worn out.
Oh yeah that bar bell works Big time
Bobby, curious as to what happened to your right arm as looks quite reduced? An injury perhaps a deep cut across the muscle?
Preacher curls?
It was tore in an MMA fight and never got it fixed.
Thanks for asking, I didn't really want to, figured it must've been from a fight.
1 1/2 reps is a very good variation.
Does the book show the exercises
It does.
I like mark twains answer wen someone asked him if he gets any exercise.
He answered, "i get my exercise by walking to the funerals of my more athletic friends."
Lol🎉
Form and discipline is key when working muscles. Once you stray from form, you engage muscles other than those you want to target.
I've watched so many of these and my biceps haven't changed.....
You do what works for you!
watching only builds your eyeceps.
