Strength Training Benchmarks

I've been using the new strength training plans on my Forerunner 965 since they were released last year. I'm on the last week of my current plan and noticed that benchmarks aren't updating correctly in the Garmin Connect Android app. They are updating correctly in Garmin Connect Web, though. Has anyone else noticed this?

  • Further troubleshooting: it appears that updated benchmarks aren't being saved in Garmin Connect Android, even if they're manually updated. They are being saved correctly in Garmin Connect Web.

  • We can look into this for you what phone are you using with the Connect App? Have you tried syncing the activity with Garmin Express?

  • Thanks! I'm using a new Pixel 10. The issue doesn't appear to be related to a specific activity, rather it's saving and sync'ing of the benchmarks which are set in the Strength Coach plans.

  • It should be showing in both the web version of Connect and the app. Sometimes syncing with Garmin Express can help the app and web to show the same information. Just to verify, could you try syncing with Garmin Express and let me know if it is updating in the Connect app after that? 

  • This might be a dumb question, but which device should I sync with Garmin Express? I do strength workouts on my Forerunner 965, but an Edge 1050 is my primary training device.

  • That's a great question! In this instance, you'll want to sync your Forerunner 965.

  • I synced the 965 with Garmin Express. I then synced it with Garmin Connect Mobile Android. The benchmarks still haven't updated. For example, Barbell Back Squat is set at 133lbs in Garmin Connect Web (no judgement, I'm a skinny cyclist!) but 162.7 in Garmin Connect Android. The value set in Web is correct. I've tried manually updating it in Connect Android, and it doesn't save. There doesn't appear to be any way to update it. I'm concerned that my workouts will use the wrong benchmark weight.
