Hi all, I have just started using my 945 for strength training. I'm looking to use the connect setup to see charts/data on increases in strength over time (similar to what it has with bodyweight).

So for instance if I have increased my bench press over 8 weeks, will it show me that in a graph format at all?

Currently the only way I can see of doing it is manually inputtting data in to an excel sheet outside of garmin connect?

You will have to enter your exercises with the number of reps and weight into each activity. Then you can see a graph for the reps and volume of your exercises.

You can use it in any way you like. For example if you like to follow your max in bench press you can add 1 rep and the weight. In that way you will see how your max in bench press develops over time.

Personally I wouldn't use Garmin Connect for tracking my strength training since it is a bit clunky and the graphs are not that good. I would use a spreadsheet so I can create any graph I like. You are also limited to the exercises that Garmin has added to the list and to those exact names.

Yeah, I’m using the 4 weeks etc... but can’t filter that in to individual exercise improvement if that makes sense? The data you can extract from putting in so much info seems minimal?

Click the dropdown with the text All exercises and choose Bench press. Only the exercises you have previously used are in that list. You will see the reps and volume. Volume is the weight multiplied with the weight.
