new Garmin Connect Strength Training feature heading for the app? or is it a hidden feature
There is a previously hidden 9or new) feature found by u/jurijturnsek for strength training on Garmin Connect. But only on the web version which might suggest this feature will soon find its way in some form to the smartphone app as well.
how to find it
Click the exercise SET number and then the “Exercise Name” header text (or any header).
You then have the option to re-display your set by sets, exercises, or primary muscle.
Voila
Could it be improved?
A: Probably
i had a chat with @DanielH about this and some sort of auto-regulated strength plan like that used in Stronger By Science would make this kind of data more actionable as would seeing the impact accumulted over longer time periods.
This Week
Some good announcements this week. Keep pressing that refresh button.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Injinji – Runners protect your toes. Avoid discomfort and minor injury. Run more. Run faster. I use them.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — The small adapter that keeps your charging cables tidy. Essential for race day. I use one.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session. I use one.
- Ravemen FR300 — Front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters. I use one.
- Body Glide – The blue anti-chafe stick that all swimmers and many runners use. I use it.
- Maurten — The race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mixes engineered to be easy on the stomach. I use them.

This feature has been on the app for years
This feature is neither hidden or new. It’s been available for several years now.
Click bait 😔
why?
the title fairly describes the content, which quickly gets to the point, and doesn’t waffle on for pages and pages.
if it’s of no interest to you, that’s a different matter entirely
Someone plese provide the steps to see this volume per set etc. in the app then. I have haven’t found a way.
As far as I can see, you can only see repetitions and weight, but no volume (except total volume for activity).
