Can I make connect recalculate exercise load in strength workout

Today I did a 5x5-ish workout in free setting under Strength on my instinct 2. I manually edited my reps and weight. I reached 3850 kg total with squat, bench and rows.

Connect calculated, after I finished, an exercise load of ... 4 ?!?!

Seriously ?!

I get a load of 4 from walking to the bathroom, don't even need to go

Obviously something is very wrong, so, can I ask connect to review the workout and rethink the load ?

Ty !

The training load is based on the heart rate, not on the type of activity or the type of exercises. So the recalculating would not change anything anyway. Check out the HR during the workout, and also the 7 day avg. Resting HR - if it is too high (for example if you do not wear the watch while sleeping and resting), it will skew the results. Also consider wearing a chest strap, if you see the wrist HR sensor does not capture your HR well during the workouts.

Aha ! Ty !

I thought it would also calculate based on amount of weight moved. Makes sense then !
