[@JaredPerez-hq1hf]

This watch is insane. I can't believe all the stuff it does without begging me to pay for some BS subscription. Just got my 965 this week. I'm in love.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

I hope Garmin never goes to a monthly subscription plan

[@JaredPerez-hq1hf]

@@Aesthetic_Al same. I refuse to use any of these devices that are over $300+ of they expect me to pay monthly thereon after. & For a device like the Forerunner 965 that is $600+ that is doubly true for me.

[@dianachiu9316]

Love seeing how you use your Garmin watch as a hybrid athlete! Feel like there are lots of review channels, but this was awesome to see how you do it in real life. Inspiring me to get a Garmin as a primarily strength athlete but novice runner.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

wow thanks for this comment Diana. I have another Garmin Hybrid Video coming out. More with its ecosystem and syncing it to smart scales, Myfitness Pal, your calendar, widgets, etc.. Thanks for the feedback

[@Aesthetic_Al]

This comment got me so HYPED! Thanks brother I want to go full time with KZbin this coming January. Just dropped a Garmin video I think you might enjoy.

[@Derek-df3sd]

If the weightlifting rep counter is not accurate and you need to manually adjust it then it's pointless. You might as well just not use it and type it in manually.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

you very much can just enter it manually each set. I do that when I "freestyle" a lift vs have an inputted workout.

[@tomasp6595]

It's not pointless, because you have all your training info (weights and reps) on your phone or computer. So next time you workout you can just look what you did on your last workout and increase the weight or reps

[@Derek-df3sd]

@@tomasp6595 my comment was about the auto rep counter. If you typed in the reps manually it would still get recorded on the app.

[@BigPrimo33]

It’s not that it’s inaccurate it’s just sensitive to movement.

[@TheDeeStain]

I always do freestyle because of this exact reason. For some reason freestyle is the only one that allows you to adjust reps and weight on the fly.

[@lgeiger]

The rep counter is really helpful. It can also track a lot of exercises automatically like squats, bench press and curls. I do not want to miss it in the gym anymore. I've been using it for 6 years now. It's also great for skiing, golf, running and cycling. I even use it for racket sports, but it does not track your shots or anything related to just that acitivity.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Thanks for sharing. Going to make more Garmin videos real soon

[@mvinthund]

How accurate is it with squats or deadlift, if you do any? I guess it would not record any chin-ups?

[@kroq6225]

yeah!! you have finally come back!! thanks for video!

[@Aesthetic_Al]

It's good to be back!! Moved and now I have a better home office set up to film these videos 🙌

[@joggerino3284]

Thanks for the video! I do not own a Garmin, only a Polar H10 chest strap. Do you save time with this app or is it necessary to adjust the data manually on a regular basis? Does it make your life easier or train more often? Is it possible to generate a mont-long plan and the watch reminds you to actually train? I would be interested in more video showing all the features.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Thanks brother. Great detailed question When I have my workout logged into the watch. Its my favorite experience. I am more efficient at the gym, and it's easier (to me). You can find workouts with Garmin (Strength, running, cycling, etc....) and you can log them in the calendar. Then you will get the reminder to do your workout. Hope this helps!

[@joggerino3284]

@@Aesthetic_Al Yes, thank you! So you would say it the watch really made you train more often or regularly? From what I could figure out, Garmin is the best option for weightlifting, Polar does not even offer an option to adjust reps etc.

[@MrSupernova111]

@@joggerino3284 . The watch can't make you do anything you don't want to do. However, all the performance metrics it collects for you, goal setting, and reminders helps with motivation. Also, Garmin is not mainly a weightlifting watch. Garmin watches, especially the higher end ones, can handle just about anything a normal person can throw at them. If you really want to go all out with a Garmin watch you can get one of their MARQ watches but they will set you back a couple of grand. I doubt you'll ever use all the features in their mid-range to high-end watches so the only decision is how much you want to spend.

[@chuckperry3313]

Nice, succinct video on real world problem. I already own the watch and strength training is not it's primary function, so I don't want to buy a different app or use a different process for this. This video was the most helpful one on the topic I found. Oddly, I had to search outside of YT to find it.

[@CautionHighWavesAhead-]

Thanks!

[@Aesthetic_Al]

You bet! Thank for you for this. More garmin videos coming 🫡

[@fitdude]

If I'm doing a CrossFit workout where it's strength movements and cardio movements mixed and for time, how would I create that as a custom workout? I'm having a hard time because it seems like it wants either strength with all the list of exercises, OR cardio with laps/times/distance with no choices for movements recorded.

Thanks for your interesting and extremely very useful video- this info is rarely given in most reviews - so thanks! , im going to take the plunge on a Garmin Epic 2 Pro 51mm - My Last watch was a Samsung Watch 4 Classic, which for workouts etc, is completely rubbish. You Cannot edit reps etc all the exercises are mainly set to 10, and the battery life is dreadful - if I do a 1hr + GPS ride it won't even last a day. It may suit a newbie who needs guidance, but that's about it, im very very much looking forward to being in the Garmin Club!

[@Miguel-cq1ms]

This is great info thanks. A tutorial on how to create and use this workouts would be nice, specially on how to pass from one exercise to another with rest periods etc. Sometimes the order of the exercises on the gym changes when the equipment is being used. Using a Epix 2.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Thanks Miguel for that idea. With the new update on our Garmin Epix 2. it makes it easier to go back to a group or skip a exercise to do later in the workout. I'll make a video or a KZbin Short on it.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Thanks for the idea! Okay i can do that!

[@timspeirs8465]

Really good video - cheers mate

[@fbombtehgr3at]

Strength training with a Garmin Venu 2 watch is a chore. You constantly have to enter weights since the watch "forgot" which weights you were using in the previous set. The number of reps is for the most part OK. But then there is no way to enter the exercise performed on the watch (you have to correct after the fact in Garmin connect), even on watches that have the hardware for voice input. And sadly, Garmin is not very responsive with respect to suggestions.

[@nikitalahoti6860]

Which garmin men Smart watch is best for strength training

[@Aesthetic_Al]

mostly every Garmin Watch from 2023 has the same strength training features. Workout Diary, Rep Counter, Muscle Maps, etc... I made a video I believe last week comparing Garmin's Cheapest watch from 2023 to their premium ones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6elm4yDn9t6o5Ysi=qgo5LCR_VjZ9KTW6 Hope it helps!

[@VillStutz]

Hi my friend and thanks for this nice video. I have a special question. I already use a trainingsplan on my iphone. Is there not a way to just say: START GYM without have to log every single rep? Is this the option FREE? In this case is it possible to add the mode FREE to the favorites? It would save many time :) I just bought my first Garmin and used to have Polar. Garmin is much more complicated but I understand that I have many many more possibilities to use...we will see :)

[@RK-xe3tw]

great videos bro keep it up

[@CanInelli]

Can we add custom exercises to the exercise library? They don't have some of the exercises listed.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Unfortunately unable to add any types of exercises. Since I’ve switched to Garmin for the year and half. That list has doubled so hopefully they add the ones you need. They are putting a lot more attention to strength training than before

[@davidlewis9679]

Can you do superset? Also, does it store workouts? I tend to follow the same programme for 10 weeks, then mix it up. It would be great if it saved my 5 day split?

[@muddy250]

I'm switching from AW to Garmin, epix pro arriving next week and getting some prep work done. Very helpful videos! I'm going to use it for cycling, hiking and strength and just wondering about warm up sets here. Do you just not hit the lap button to start until your main working set and then stop again before the warm up sets for the next exercise or do you program warm up sets too? Keep up the great work on the videos!

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Glad it was helpful! I usually have 3 workouts I follow weekly every 4 months and try to progressively overload the weight. So I have a warm up that when I am ready to start my main working sets I do hit the lap press button. After for another exercise I actually dont really do warm up sets but you can program a warm up if needed. I would probably do some warm ups during my "rest time"... Hope this helps you really got me thinking.

[@gabrielgiraldo3932]

[@robertleparulo672]

Do you have a video on HIIT training? I wish there was a generic HIIT workout setting

[@ea7651]

Question if you are doing dumbell workout or concentration biceps curl or dumbell row on right and left side do you split the set? or you just combine the rep and weights on both side?

[@Aesthetic_Al]

I just combine the reps. Single hand, dumbbell work is a bit tricky because if you are doing dumbell rows if your hand is resting it won't track the reps. I still use it just to count the set and HR but then tweak the reps on the watch after the set.

[@scott650]

Moving from the Apple Watch and looking for more in-depth Garmin videos, I got the Instinct Solar (first version) to get initiated, is there a way for you to compare each watch or give insight as to what each watch is catered for or reason to get a certain watch or maybe categorize said watches into different categories or maybe like which budget series to first get into before digging deep? Also, (still going through your vids)compare health kit to Garmin connect and show which apps work better and lastly, do you know of a good water app tracker that works with Garmin connect? I have a hydrate spark bottle but was hoping to get something integrated. Thanks!

[@giselavillanueva6400]

Hello! Question - if you set up a workout beforehand, can you save the workout and repeat it at a later time? Also, does the watch tell you what was the last weight you lifted? Thanks!

[@Aesthetic_Al]

Yes, you can save any workout to your watch, and it will always be available. Save to the “workout Library”. Just note that if you have a lot of music or maps stored, you might get a ‘memory full’ message-this happened to me for the first time after a 2 years so it’s rare. For weight exercises, you can also save the weight used for each exercise and adjust it during or after your workout on the Garmin Connect app. I was like this as more detailed when training for a powerlifting meet earlier this year. It basically replaced a paper and pen to send to my coach. Hope this helps!

[@---sl4mr]

Hello, can't you have the weight displayed on your app ? You can choose almost anything (including sunset hour...) to appear during your training but not the different weights you're used to lift. Which is frustrating because I always have to remember something like 75/42/55/20 when I do a set of different exercices. I'd really appreciate if these numbers could be displayed instead of « 12 reps » all the time.

[@Reddogj123]

What are the benefits of having the strength workout on your watch besides the math? does it do something to the other metrics the watch is tracking? It seems like a lot of work to enter in the phone, compared to the paper tablet I keep? I do like how you walk through the process most people spend less than a minute on a feature, just so they can talk about as many features as possible.

[@Aesthetic_Al]

In regards to any type of health or workout metrics no difference as far as I can tell. I tested it by changing for example the "work load" on lifts or the time duration and nothing. I am using this because this summer I signed up for a powerlifting meet and hired a coach. All my Lifting is done base on Percentages % on my compound lifts. (Feature 5) in this video. So it helps me as workout journal and I made my Garmin Connect Workouts accessible to my coach so he can see what weights im hitting weekly. As a workout Journal Garmin really looks some great features from Apple Apps Like "Heavy, Gymaholic, Strong". Hope this helps brother

[@Asdfghjkl-w3j]

how does the timer function work in training mode? can I set a rest timer while training mode is on?

[@Aesthetic_Al]

When you are already on training mode simply free-styling a lift. When you complete a exercises you only hit the button to complete the exercise and by default the rest timer starts. You can keep doing this until the workout is over. It can help so at the end of the workouts you can see what's the average rest time in between sets.

This would be a useful feature if the benchmark exercises were not chosen by Garmin. I focus on Kettlebell training and none of the benchmark exercises listed are relevant to me... unfortunately.

I hear you. Garmin has been putting a lot more focus this last year in Strength Training Activity that it wouldn't surprise me if 2024 they added that. Especially as much as KB at least here in the U.S is growing.@@fbombtehgr3at

I went crazy trying to find the benchmark option after watching this video. I finally found it. You have to first create a workout or load one from "find a workout" for the option "benchmark exercises" to appear.
