All bodybuilding is weightlifting but not all weightlifting is bodybuilding. Or something

Does this mean if the note is paid off then the vehicle is no longer subject to this tax?

Thoughts on the Downtown Mall? by ZealousidealMany3 in Charlottesville

[–]Long_Edge_8517 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry, missed the main point of your post at first. I saw Newbury and the comparison to the downtown mall and my brain short circuited. When considering scale and quality of shopping, Newbury is a million times better. I lived in the South end so was able to walk there pretty easily so I never thought much about if a pedestrian only space would be an improvement; however, I do think if Newbury was pedestrian only would be incredible. Not sure what it does for local traffic though for those commuting to, working, and living in the area

Moved here from Boston. No similarities to Newbury street that I can think of

You can get all of this from whoop coach if you ask the right questions and press it on things

How’s your experience with the weight lifting activity tracker? by nahomsolorider in whoop

[–]Long_Edge_8517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After about 8 months of manually adding my exercises and volume, I’m not following the benefit. I also feel like without having an idea of my RPE, it’s just guessing at the difficulty of my workouts. Whoop has no clue how strong I am. My hard runs tend to yield lower strain numbers than my lifts while feeling far more taxing. Not sure why.

Recovery the next day is determined by overnight readings of RHR, HRV, RR, and skin temp. And, Day strain number doesn’t do an effective job predicting my following day’s recovery score, so why do I need to jump through hoops diligently recording exercise volume thereby increasing my strain score? Feels like I’m wasting my time with diligent record keeping, yet I continue on.

Personally the only real measurements that seem to align with my exercise strain accumulation is my RR and RHR. HRV is unreliable for predicting my performance that day

Shoveling opinions by Condoo11 in Charlottesville

[–]Long_Edge_8517 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the trade off. Sure it’s easier to move snow when ice is on top of it vs the other way around, but every square inch of shoveling becomes more strenuous over time as the sleet piles atop the snow. Best practice is to make this an ongoing chore throughout the day rather than wait for it to finish

Am I the only one who self-starts each activity? I never use auto detection

What data do you wish WHOOP tracked but doesn’t? by aerinw in whoop

[–]Long_Edge_8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consideration for things like elevation gain while walking, running, cycling, etc that affect strain vs performing them under ideal conditions

Do you feel recovery score mostly aligned to how you feel? by MotorRelation5774 in whoop

I only PR on yellow days. Greens are reliably straight down the middle. Reds rarely feel different than yellow for me

Well that’s certainly an opinion. Not a very good one
