weight bug with custom strength training

KrapfenKringel
over 1 year ago

Requirements:
- own workout with weights set and one bodyweight exercise in the middle
- count reps turned on (because without reps you are not asked for weight even if "edit weight" is on)
- edit weight turned on

Bug1: When ignoring the rep counter (because it counted correctly) it will record weight 0 in the activity.

If I enter the "edit reps" screen and go through to the "edit weight" screen it will preselect the weight set in the training to edit or confirm.
Also if "edit weight" is off the pre-planned weight is always recorded in the activity correctly, no matter if reps are adjusted or ignored.

Bug2: If a bodyweight exercise follows a weight exercise it will show the weight of the previous weight exercise instead of 0 as it should be. And it will be 0 in the stored activity if the rep counter is skipped.

If "edit weight" is off in will always record the correct weight preset in the activity no matter if its 0 for bodyweight or a larger value for a weight exercise.

Is this reproduceable on devices like Fenix 6, 7, Epix 2, Forerunner 955?

    Yes on the watch, I have a Fenix so it could be different (Forerunners have their own firmware branch), I can turn rep counting and weight logging on, but weight will only work if rep count is on.

    Hmm maybe that is why I can’t edit weights.. but as this pic shows it does have the option to toggle on/off edit weight on the watch 

    but the rep counting option, despite being there, seems to be locked to ‘off’. I assumed this was automatic rep counting, which I’d prefer not to use anyhow, but obviously would turn it on, if I could, and it then enabled me to edit weights and/or reps. As another bone of contention, my workouts have a set amount of reps, but when uploaded to Garmin after completing the workout, all my rep counts are set at zero (-), which is annoying.

    I can toggle edit weight on too, but it only asks if I also have rep counting active.

    On the Fenix is try's to count on it's own and then asks if it was correct and you can adjust if needed (it isn't too bad), after that it asks for the weight.

    But no idea whats going on with the "locked option" might be something for the Forerunner fourm.
