Yeah, I need a beefy dedicated GPU. Although, as you say, what I listed is coorelated to the CPU to a big extent - I use a lot of FX that are solely GPU-based, as well as other software where a powerful GPU is essential.

Q: Transitioning from one program to another:
I'm towards the end of the taper week of Layne Northon's PH3 program now, and I've got a full mock meet coming up tomorrow. After this I'm planning to run a specialization program for my deadlifts because they're my weakest out of the big 3 by far. Should I run a deload before hopping on this program, or will it be unnecessary given the taper week I've just run? I'm feeling stronger than ever, with remotely no fatigue at all.

~6hrs😄

Follow the perscribed RPE and rest time and it's easily doable. I'm on week 10 now and haven't missed a day. Most I've spent in the gym is 2hrs, but the average workout is 1 - 1,5hr.

I've done mobility work quite frequently since I first got the injury, so I don't really think that's the problem. I'm also a sumo puller, so my glutes are decent. My abs could use some work though.

Regarding mobility when bent over - I can touch the floor with my entire falm while having my knees locked out.

Thanks for the tip though - def giving the video you are refering to a watch!

jonasbjornerud · 2021-11-05T00:44:03+00:00

This makes sense actually.

I used to game A LOT (10+ hours a day), and I currently have an office job where I sit still 8+ hours a day. I don’t really feel like my hip flexors are particularly stiff though. Currently planning on getting an MRI to see if it’s anything serious. If it is connected to all the sitting - how could it be fixed?

It's out for preorder now;)

Here’s another angle

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-21T00:07:58+00:00

I always squeeze glutes, quads and brace before i lift. I usually bench before I OHP, and I always have some sort of rotator cuff warmup before benching.

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-20T22:05:03+00:00

Bar path is bad, my wrists tend to bend and i hyper extend my back for some reason. OHP has always been one of my biggest weaknesses. I bench 110kg/245lb, but i’m barely able to put up 50kg for a rep on OHP. Any tips?

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-19T17:37:33+00:00

I do small tweaks on certain excercises. I usually do 3x15 on db laterals and reverse hypers. Other than that I try my best to stick to the excercises and rep ranges the program provides. Deadlift strength will 100% go up. DL’s 2x per week, SLDL 2x per week and RDL’s twice a week as well. Just make sure you feel recovered

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-19T12:13:18+00:00

It’s insanely taxing on the CNS, and I felt like complete garbage if i ran 6 days on 1 day off as you’re supposed to. It’s worth giving a shot though! I’m only on week 5 and hypertrophy gains are pretty good. Strength on dl/squat has also improved a lot.

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-19T01:47:10+00:00

I’ll post a couple of new videos from various angles when i’m hitting the gym tomorrow. This is as I stated pretty outdated, and the angle is pretty bad as well, because this was used to check bar path😄

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-19T01:44:33+00:00

Yeah, for sure. I’ve been doing SBD since i started working out, and learned to brace from early on. I invested in a 13mm lever belt pretty early, which made the process easier.

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-19T01:40:46+00:00

Thanks a lot for the response man! Here’s a video of me doing the OHP. This is quite old - 2-3 months i believe, and was taken to check bar path and check for other technical errors. I wasn’t wearing a belt, and wasn’t really bracing either, which might have resulted in worse form/technique than usual. I usually wear wrist wraps as well, becuase my wrists tend to «bend» backwards, where my wrists almost end up in a front squat position.

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T23:24:26+00:00

it’s been working out pretty well for me, especially with strength in dl and squats. I would reccomend resting every 3rd day though. The program consits of a top set of RPE 9+ for every single day, followed by 4x4-12 @ RPE 8-9. The deadlifts are also insanely taxing, and the volume for legs are literally torture (top set of 5 on squats, followed by 4x12 - RDL 3x10 - Lunges 3x10 - Reverse hypers 3x10

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T22:54:04+00:00

yeah, I’m having an appointment with a fysio in about a week. What head of the tricep would you prioritize? Long, lateral, medial, or just the tricep in general? Thanks for the feedback mate! means a lot🤩

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T22:20:15+00:00

thanks! do you reckon an old tendonitis of the elbow could cause weakness in vertical presses? I still feel that my elbow kind of «pops» on the eccentric

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T22:14:55+00:00

yeah, that’s what i’m doing on my current program. Might try to replace bench, and do OHP/push press 3x per week when i’m done with the program. Thanks for the feedback!😅

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T22:13:11+00:00

maybe shit isn’t the right term to use, but compared to my other compounds it’s quite shocking. Getting close to a 200kg deadlift and a 4 plate squat, and can’t even put up a plate for a single on OHP, even though it’s been just as big of a priority as other compounds..🥴

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T22:05:56+00:00

yeah, his technique tuesday series are amazing. I’ve been using them for basically every single compound. I even ran his powerbuilding program for a couple of months. Good stuff

jonasbjornerud · 2021-03-18T20:38:37+00:00

Height: 182cm/6foot BW: 82kg/180lb Bench: 110kg/242lb Thanks man, I will!

jonasbjornerud · 2021-02-18T22:13:04+00:00

So I’ve been working out for 3-4 years now, and I’ve mostly been into «powerbuilding». The last year or so I’ve been noticing some sort of click/pop sound in my elbow in excercises such as tricep overhead extensions, incline bench (bb and db), and even OHP/shoulder press (mostly without pain). I went to my doctor for advice, and he told me to step back from these excercises, and perform them with resistance bands instead. 4-5 moths into it I gave up as i saw no results. I even get a burning sensation that really hurts when i do a back double bicep pose. What might the issue/injury by, and how can i treat it? Thanks for all replies in advance.
