Strength Companion |
Strength Companion is a data field designed for strength training practitioners using Garmin’s built-in application. It primarily allows for the use of variable rest times and comments as exercise names. It also adds a number of full-screen alerts to address the shortcomings of the exercise list screen.
In more detail:
Proceed as follows:
Note that some Garmin watches have a bug in displaying full-screen notifications. In this case, please enable the option “Hack for notification display”.
During the execution of a free session, an automatic timer will be activated during rest. Use the ‘Lap’ button to set its time for the next rest.
The rest time is defined using the ‘Lap’ button for rests with an indefinite time. It is therefore recommended to replace the fixed rest time with the “Press Lap Button” option in the training programming.
It is also advisable to add a title as a comment for each exercise. This is then used for notifications and is displayed directly on the screen for each set. Using comments also allows you to memorize a default timer from session to session. This is practical for not having to remember rest times.
