Strength Workout Exercise Weight Progress

Dave
over 1 year ago

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this question already exists but I couldn't find anything. 

My situation: I create a workout on the Garmin Connect App and send it to the watch. While doing the workout I might go higher or lower with the weight and use the edit feature to put it into the workout. Now my question is, if there is a way to automatically save the edited weights as the "standard weight" for those exercises / workout. Like for example in the workout is a Curl exercise with 10 reps and 30kgs, but after time I get stronger and do it with 35kgs. So it would be awesome to have the watch display 35kgs the next time I do that exercise, instead of the 30kgs. 

My watch: EPIX Pro - Software Version 14.36

Garmin Connect IOS Version 4.70.1.4 

Thank you already! :)

    Yes, you can create a workout in Garmin Connect » Training & Planning » Workouts, with predefined weights (or another target such as time, HR, etc.), and then before starting the Strength activity, go to the menu of that activity » Training » Workout, select the workout and start it.

    However, you will still have to increase the weights when needed, manually in Garmin Connect, and reupload the modified workout to the watch

    I did some research on other apps and what I found is that the app „strong“ does exactly what I would want the Garmin strength workout to be. Basically you create your workout with sets and weights and so on. While working out you follow your sets, entering reps and weights you do. After completing the workout you can tell the app to update the workout plan with the reps and weights you did. So next time you do the workout it shows you those numbers so you can slowly improve. 

    I really hope Garmin adds this functionality sometime

    Yes, this might be very useful!

    and another thing in Connect app - Benchmark. Would be nice to set them not only for those basic classic barbell exercises but also for crossover, for dumbbells etc… might be good to track progress and update custom made Workouts.
