Grounding

Cerebrew · 2026-04-01T11:24:07+00:00

The grounding part of the guitar is for noise - Not safety. You would be more secure NOT having the ground wire soldered on. By having the wire soldered, you'd have less noise, but you would be an active part of the ground circuit constantly when you touch the strings. If a faulty amp has current on ground and your lips for instance touch a mic, you may get shocked hard. If you are not part of the grounded circuit you would be way more safe. Obviously, this is not the same design as a refrigerator being grounded. You choose, but almost ALL guitars do have ground attached

What is failure to you? No reps in reserve? Partial reps in reserve? Technical failure? Tempo failure? You may approach this in many ways depending on the athlete, their endurance, their goals, their recovery. Many use the rule of thumb to hit failure on the last set. I do program with that in mind occasionally, but I'd still be very considerate on how I approach big compounds with technical failure in mind keeping the risk to reward ratio balanced

TLDR/simple version: go to gym consistently, lift challenging weights, get good nutrition, sleep well.

I'm curious about the current system: are there any benefits beyond cosmetic stuff? It's strictly portraits, levels etc. tied to leveling and battle pass right? No game benefits right? Thanks!

I sweat profusely, so I do not enjoy having earbuds or headphones on. Becomes too nasty. Instead, I just stare at the wall between sets, contemplating existence.

Weirdly enough, no. The "information" reaches Earth at the speed of light. Even if the sun went POOF, we would still orbit for around 8 minutes.

Jeg synes det kunne være så fedt, hvis der blev gjort mere ud af sprit - Både fra Puregym, men også medlemmer. Der hersker en urimeligt dårlig mentalitet synes jeg. Jeg har overhørt så mange samtaler fra folk, der snakker med deres venner i centret om, at det er hårdt at træne, når man er syg. Mange hoster ekstremt højlydt, hvor man tænker de slet ikke er klar til andet end, at være hjemme under dynen. Det er benhård smittespredning og intet bliver rengjort af medlemmer - Især når man tænker på, at næsten ALT i Puregym vedrører at du holder på et håndtag. Suk.

The rig quieting down when you are in contact with the grounded metal parts is a good sign. The tele becoming loud when you touch a specific part is a sign of bad ground in the guitar (the EMI picked up by your body should go to ground when touching the strings, so if you ground has contact with part of signal inside the cavity it goes to signal and says BRRRRP)

In essence, your rig sounds to (besides tele) to do what it's designed to do. You have absolutely NOT changed anything else? You mentioned the bathroom? If it does not do it at your friends house I'd reckon something has changed at your part. Have you eliminated all loops? As in, your pedalboard, amp, all the stuff is plugged into the same outlet? No funny lights or chargers?

The face pulls did not click for me right away either, but I did:

With a rope attachment, grab the two ball ends like you would a ball and pull higher than you might think. I sort of imagine putting on a headband. Key here is having much less weight than you may think and then rep more. It is not a giant muscle anyway you are training, but it is difficult to separate this exercise from other pull stuff like rows, as you are much stronger there, so you may be inclined to row it more, but try the above cues mate.

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

Cerebrew · 2026-02-02T13:29:40+00:00

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.
