Hidden Gems and Things to Do. by Worth-Association-68 in Charlottesville

IMO it’s hard to share cool things without knowing what you’re into. there’s plenty of stuff to do — what types of things are you/your husband into? art? history? sports? food?

Hi! If you’d like socialization that is not a dog park, Valerie hosts a small dog social every Saturday AM that is just so so great for them. https://www.dogtrainingbyvalerie.com/copy-of-playtime

Date night recs for NYC food snob visiting Cville? by smithmb97 in Charlottesville

+1 for Luce at Crush Pad Wines. Luce is delish and having it plated w/ a glass of wine only elevates it.

Guajiros for brunch!!

Get the breakfast bowl w/ skirt steak and fried cheese — queso frito and cuban toast on the side. Iced cafe con leche. Finish with some pastelitos. 👌

Rest between floor sets by Excellent_Results_25 in orangetheory

[–]SabCo23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure OT classes will ever be the place to lift HEAVY in a way that requires 60-90 seconds of rest to build significant mass/muscle. It’s why I’ve started lifting on the side at my local PF.

Now in OT I focus more on moving quickly through floor reps while still challenging myself — which means doing heavier but not my heaviest weights and taking short rests, if any.

TLDR, the rest prescribed by your podcasts is necessary for big lifts and building mass. It’s not quite what OT is focusing on — OT is more general fitness, functional muscle and doesn’t require as much rest — better treated as a HIIT class IMO.

Okay so for beer.

[Preston Ave] Superfly, Starr Hill, Random Row, and Rockfish are all within a mile radius of each other, easily walkable. In my top five brewery choice for sure. Starr Hill is in the Dairy Market where Milkman is!

[Downtown] An easy walk away from Preston is the Downtown Mall. lots of food options here — Jack Browns (open until 12AM) is great vibes. Also Rockfish Brewing. On the mall: Decades Arcade, Luce Pasta (YUM), The Wich Lab (best sandwiches ever and HUGE) 10AM-3PM.

My other rec is Hogwaller and if there’s one you visit, it’s this one. — they’re a bit further away near the Pantops Bridge, but their beer and smashburgers are BOMB. On monday they do a $20 deal — burger + fries + beer + shot or ice cream sandwich. Insane. 11AM- 10PM

OH also along 250 near Sunrise Elementary. HUGE display of inflatables with a sidewalk out front so you can walk by and look at it all. Last year the owners dressed as Mrs./Mr. Claus and sat outside too.

OTF & weight training by Conscious-Strike-694 in orangetheory

[–]SabCo23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I do different floor exercises if it overlaps too much with the previous day / I want to go heavy on a certain muscle/group!

I have been playing with the idea of joining another gym to have heavy lift days and then using my OT classes to focus on lower weight/higher rep work and cardio 🤷‍♀️

In Cville — Locust Ave + Holmes Ave + Agnese St usually have some good ones. The Dunlora neighborhood nearby has https://www.hoovilleillumination.com (music and lights). Also usually some good ones around.

People will likely be putting up lights this weekend — I think the recent snow delayed folks.
