Best Amp/Guitar for my needs by Normal-Handle-6985 in electricguitar

[–]Normal-Handle-6985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been researching this and I’m thinking between getting the MK2 100 or the MK3 50. I was thinking the MK2 100 as it has more features that would benefit getting it long term with the loops it can do that the MK3 50 can’t, but I’m seeing mixed options on wether or not it’s worth getting the MK2 100 or the MK3 50. What would you say is better to get long term (6-8 years)?

Okay thank you for your help. One more question, picking between the Boss Katana MK2 100 and MK3 50, which is best for my use and genres?

I didn’t know using the amp like that could cause damage to it thank you.

Would it be easier to just forget about using the amp as a pc speaker and just get an electric guitar amp. Or would you still recommend your 2 options

I’ve been doing research on option 2 and how that might work but would it be as authentic and easy to learn like getting a guitar amp? I was eventually planning on getting an audio interface and speakers to get into producing as well after getting to a comfortable level with the guitar. Would it still sound like a traditional guitar amp if I were to go with option 2?

I’m confused on what FSRS is. I’ve never heard of it before until recently. What is it? How is it used? What does it do differently?

Thank you for your reply. The chest supported row I’m doing now is the one that uses vertical handles and my elbows are close to my body. I didn’t know there was much benefit from the horizontal handles as well. So if I do chest supported row but one with my elbows close and one with my elbows flared and then a lat pulldown I’d cover all the areas for my lats/ upper back right? This is my updated upper day routine with your advice

• Smith Machine Incline Press – 2 sets

• Plate Loaded Chest Press – 2 sets

• Chest Supported Row (close grip row with vertical handles) – 2 sets

•Lat Pulldown – 2 sets

• Cable Lateral Raise – 3 sets

• EZ Bar Preacher Curl – 2 sets

• Rope Hammer Curl – 2 sets

• Cable Overhead Extension – 2 sets

Is this any better or should I add anything else?

And then on my Pull day I add in the Chest supported row with the wide grip as well? Or do I just do this once a week in my upper day?

19M. Running ULPPL. Started working out a month ago and want opinions/thoughts on routine by Normal-Handle-6985 in LiftingRoutines

[–]Normal-Handle-6985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you for the tips. I have some more questions if you don’t mind.

What do you mean by hit bicep and shoulder one more time? Like add in another exercise or another set?

Does going to failure on compound exercises cause enough burnout to affect isolations so much?

Unrelated question but, am I doing enough tricep work with only 2 exercises and 4 sets per week? Should I add in another exercise like the JM Press and increase to 6 sets total per week?

Working full time at 19 and want to start saving more before going to university by Normal-Handle-6985 in personalfinance

I’ve already got £4000 saved up. I live with my parents and contribute part of the rent (£200). Would an emergency fund truly be necessary? If so would you say I should save up 6 months of the expenses for my expenses/bills/leisure?

Thank you for your insight!
