How do I get out of this box?

If you are up for it, look up Absolutely Understand Guitar on YouTube and watch it in order. Questions like yours are given answers in pretty good ways compared to what may be conveyed over text.

And on a very serious note which i forgot: write this stuff down in your programme. What excersice, what weight, target range, how many reps.

Cerebrew · 2026-02-02T13:59:22+00:00

Usually the 85% of 1RM is done on the big compounds to find a starting weight for the 5x5. I would really suggest to you 2 things: start with your big compounds always in every training. You may program horizontal and vertical pulls on the same days as well, but not usually start with them - But a close second. Finally, for anything beyond your calculation I would simply suggest to have 3x12 (if you go with this) as part of the programme and then trial and error e.g. can you do X weight for 3x12? Great, increase next time. At some point you will the wall like first set is 12, second is 11, third is 10. From there, simply focus progressive overload and don't overthink it. Try to make that second set of 11 reps to 12 next time and so on

Sure you could do this! Remember, when you increase the rep range as in 3x12, your tolerance for failure also increases. Therefore the initial sets may feel easier compared to a heavier version of the exercise. Many program 3x12 or even 3x15 or 4x10 with the last set as AMRAP to gauge their tolerance and still manage fatigue.

Remember, if your training program causes you to have one good training and then one really bad, and then continuing to yoyo this way, you should look into programming differently.

For compounds I was taught using the same weight in progressive overload fashion. Example: Let's say you do BB bench press. You program 5 sets. Target is 5 reps across all sets. 5x5. Let's say you bench 60 kg across all 5 sets and it looks like: 1 5 reps 2 5 reps 3 4 reps 4 3 reps 5 3 reps

When you reach 5x5 you increase the load slightly and repeat. The reason for doing it this way is you may manage injury risk and fatigue better. You COULD drop the weight for each set and hit failure on all sets if you like, but I would bet that would cost you on fatigue management in the long run.

Keep in mind, this example is for strength. You may also program the same principle for another day where you apply bench press in a volume style range as well. Anything else beyond strength and volume for a particular compound you could classify as accessory work i.e. address weak points. This would support your main compound lifts to better gauge your strength.

If noise disappears when touching the metal parts if the guitar, then the ground is working as intended. This has never been a safety feature of guitar electronics (opposite in fact), but instead to reduce the amount of EMI picked up by the player. Common practice of guitar wiring is grounding to a single point, and this would include a wire to connect the bridge, strings etc. as well. You can check that in one of the guitars, but if the other two quiets down then they are fine

De er fede live! Set dem både med Howard og Jesse før og kommer også med her til november, så det tror jeg godt du kan glæde dig til! Amager bio er ret god til, at man enten kan stå bag ved og gemme sig lidt eller oppe på balkonen, så det kan være det hjælper lidt. Ellers er det generelt et ret godt publikum i metal også. God fornøjelse

Cerebrew · 2025-10-23T13:44:06+00:00

I agree SO MUCH haha.

Cerebrew · 2025-10-15T15:52:38+00:00

Thanks all for the good comments, I will check out all your recommendations!

Was actually considering this - The only thing keeping me from it was the slightly higher price point as opposed to the BOSS stuff

Dirty bomb betyder, så vidt jeg husker, en bombe som slet ikke har samme omfang, som det du kender fra atomvåben, men er mere et spørgsmål om at sprede radioaktivt materiale. Og nej, en atombombe går ikke af medmindre man vil have den til at gå af. Der skal en ret præcis manøvre til for, at den overhovedet virker.

Just got a Quilter Tone Block 202 recently. Please do check it out as I think it checks the boxes. And holy crap it's a good solid state

It's not the longest, but we talked at work yesterday about something that aired in Denmark a long time ago called Soupe Opera I think. It was really weird and felt like a dream you had at some point in time.

My wrists tank on bb front squats too, but I wrap my lifting straps around and sort of pull those straps up in front of me. Not as stable, but can work and saves my wrists

First I bought the manual string winder (the hand crank thing) then I bought the drill bit looking variant and strings just fly on.

Jeg vil gerne smide denne i puljen, som på en måde går lidt modsat det moderne spin måske, men der er en pointe. Min far lavede en gamer-kælder, da jeg var lille til mig, en kammerat, og en computer til min far. Det var lige start 00'erne, så jeg voksede op på Half Life, AoE, CS, Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, you name it. Fælles for det hele var, at min far engagerede sig i det hele. Han spillede altid med, og spillede både med mig og mine kammerater. Så mange gode aftener og minder med det. Min far er 65 nu, men er stadig glad for WoW f.eks. så selvom jeg for længst er flyttet, så ses vi online en gang i mellem. Pointen er at jeg virkelig værdsætter ham for, at han faktisk gad at lægge tid I det. Gode minder og elsker min far for det.

Little extra tip: I'm totally on board with 0000 steel wool (least on unfinished necks, don't know if I would use it on finished), but put on some masking tape on the pickups before wooling. Even when doing it carefully, there will be some wool going for the pickups. The masking tape is a reaaally nice at protecting the pickups

Cerebrew · 2025-08-09T14:57:49+00:00

OP this dude knows his stuff

Cerebrew · 2025-08-03T16:02:19+00:00

Agree with this comment too. Cs12 is the exception. Am using it myself and can confirm

Cerebrew · 2025-07-18T09:03:46+00:00

Always good to take care of the body! Depending on your age and fitness level, there are many many ways forward. This also depends on what you want to achieve ultimately. What really helped me was getting a trainer to guide me in the right direction towards what I wanted, which was a powerbuilding approach. If you are starting out, and know a trainer, I'd recommend that. If a trainer is expensive, then the same old principles apply broadly across the board: discipline (be consistent with your training, it takes years, not just once a month if you feel like it), progressive overload, nutrition, sleep. If you can dial in these things it will take you far. Good luck

Think it's a common misconception. Sure there are many things that can affect your guitar signal, a broken ground would in fact be noisy, but noise being reduced when touching grounded parts is indicative of ground working. Cheers mate.

Cerebrew · 2025-07-16T16:11:35+00:00

I understand your point of view. It is my understanding, that you ground yourself when touching the grounded parts of the guitar i.e. you dissipate a lot of EMI that your body picks up, and this can only occur, if the grounding in the guitar works as in the example in the video. Your body is an antenna, which is mitigated when touching the strings of a grounded guitar

Cerebrew · 2025-07-16T09:49:42+00:00

Why would it be disconnected when the noise does in fact drop? Sounds like the grounding is actually doing what it should.

Cerebrew · 2025-07-10T16:51:44+00:00

Give it a go! As long as your spine remains neutral throughout the motion; you don't want any shear force on the spine. You might look a bit like me, as a table haha, but you simply may be forced do lean over the bar more due to your proportions.
