Crabby McSlacker says
May 5, 2008 at 4:53 amCool idea, to break up the bicep curl! Gotta try this at the gym today.
But, um, 21 x 3? Sigh. That’s too a big number.
(My Slacky version will be ONE set of 21 with weights high enough to result in crappy form by the end. I am so NOT a weight-lifting role model.)
Thanks for the water, as I’m sure those bicep things are gonna make me thirsty!
(Does Propel pay the shipping? If not, I don’t want you to–so in that case, please donate locally and I promise I’ll give it a try some day).
Gena says
May 5, 2008 at 5:41 amI will be trying this tonight! I need a little shake up to my routine.
Jenny, Bloggess says
May 5, 2008 at 6:16 amDude. You are more cut than Madonna.
MizFit says
May 5, 2008 at 6:26 amYou are a thoughtful Crab! Propel picks up the shipping.
Gena? you and me both. Im trying out some new stuff today as well.
and Jenny? Esther and I have myriad things in common and I can only hope I look as good as she when Im her age and that Ive reinvented myself SUCCESSFULLY as many times as well.
Having a baby outta wedlock (Im right on that part, yes?) with my trainer?
Ill pass on that one π

May 5, 2008 at 6:31 amAh, MizFit! It’s like you read my mind. Just FRIDAY I was complaining loudly and to anyone who would listen about how utterly sick I am of the basic bicep curl. And you ride in to the rescue – my knight(ess) in shining running shorts and OTK socks!
Crabby – you are one funny crab today! First your comment over at Dr. J’s made me respirate cereal (ow!) and then this: “My Slacky version will be ONE set of 21 with weights high enough to result in crappy form by the end.” I’m dying here.
All you guys are just so great.
Lindsay says
May 5, 2008 at 6:37 amWow – I definitely have to try that tonight at the gym… looks challenging, but definitely a change from my normal routine π
Jen says
May 5, 2008 at 6:50 amLove that idea! I also don’t know if I can pull off 21 x 3, but I’ll give it the old college try!
MizFit says
May 5, 2008 at 6:54 amyou can do it (cue motivating music. up in herre it veers more toward hip hop so Ill let you select your own)!!
remember, there’s no shame in starting with the Chunky Beef & Veggie and working your way up to the one or three pounders!

Dr. J says
May 5, 2008 at 7:07 amWe just had a “grand-opening” of our new Super Walmart in town π At least now I can super size the soup cans and not fall too far behind your buff biceps!
Mercedes says
May 5, 2008 at 7:11 amI have a tip for other people like me who might space out while counting on the 21’s. I tend to get thrown off since I’m used to counting up to 10, 12, or 15, so I’ll blow past 7 and then wig myself out a little. I count backwards from 7, instead up up from 1. And it’s a little more motivating oftentimes, too.
The Bag Lady says
May 5, 2008 at 7:43 amTerrific! The Bag Lady will try these 21’s today. As long as she has time, in between doing the calf-push and the mud-pull-ups.
And Mercedes? Good tip!! The Bag Lady spaces out and loses count very easily…
Michelle says
May 5, 2008 at 8:04 amAbs tight – bahahaha! That aside, I’m trying to at least not let my arms turn further into jello so I’ll give it a try.
Sagan says
May 5, 2008 at 9:44 amI like the change-up!
Normally I use really light 5 lbs weights, but for boot camp I had to buy 8 lbs weights. They’re considerably more challenging and I LOVE how much effort it takes to complete the last couple reps of each set. You can just feel the muscles building:)
Teresa says
May 5, 2008 at 9:54 amOkay…I really debated about posting this, but here goes!
I found it kind of weird that you did a thing on arms today because I had this strange dream last night that I had really great arms….not as great as yours, of course, but DEFINITELY not like mine are today. Off to do my 21’s! Thanks!
creatingadiva says
May 5, 2008 at 11:01 amooh I won?! haha for a second I wasn’t sure WHAT I had won what with the ten contests going around blogosphere but winning is exciting nonetheless no? Its a good start to the day! …your video isn’t loading π I’m off to go try again! damn computer.
workout mommy says
May 5, 2008 at 11:33 amlove the 21s! Thanks for the reminder to do them!
Eileen says
May 5, 2008 at 12:04 pmI love the change up in the biceps routine! It definitely spices things up a little.
Yay I won! Off to email you now! π
Heather says
May 5, 2008 at 2:36 pm21s have a fun name. Not sure the activity will be as fun, but I like feeling STRONG, so I’m up for “the old college try.”
dietgirl says
May 5, 2008 at 2:55 pmoooh baby i can feel the pain just THINKIN about doing this π
Kelly T says
May 5, 2008 at 4:06 pmare you reading cue cards? cause I can even hold a conversation that fluidly…
MizFit says
May 5, 2008 at 4:40 pmwhy YES, Kelley! Im totally reading cue cards held by my fearless assistant Lloyd.
(really? no, not really)
Im staring into my coffee/vitamin cupboard where the Flip video camera is precariously balanced on a can of coffee and an upside down mug π

Dara Chadwick says
May 5, 2008 at 6:04 pmI love 21s; right now, I do ’em with 8 lbs., but I’ve asked for a set of 10s and 12s for Mother’s Day (is that weird?), so I may be moving up soon.
MizFit, your arms rock!
Susan says
May 5, 2008 at 7:24 pmWhat’s with all the kick-butt exercises this week! Killing me here! π
But, it’s good for me. And I do like this change up for the biceps.
Kelley Burrus says

Brian "PEELER" says

Meribeth says
May 10, 2008 at 8:33 amBowing to the Mizfit for having my favorite celebrity trainer “Peeler” leave a comment! Mizfit rules. Now I must run buy a Peelerbuilt shirt.
suzanne says
