Thanks again for the liftosaur tip. It is really quite something. I think I will make the move, though I’m trying to sort through all of its power and whether will work for me and my patterns.
Very spiritually aligned with Intervals.icu. Using data to improve.
It would be great if there would be a way to track indiviual weight lifting excesises/reps and their kg, so that we can make graphs on the progress. So not just the total weight.
Strong app.
I want all my data in intervals. In garmin I can also create weight lifting excersise, but I dont see individual sets/weights I think
My main desire is for my workouts to be counted into my Fatigue score.
Maybe there is not an objective way to do that but it would be nice if I could at least have an automatically assigned value rather than having to enter it manually each time.
How do those activities come to Intervals? Are you manually creating one for each activity?
If those numbers are similar from workout to workout, just create a manual workout with a fixed load that you copy/drag on the calendar. When the workout is done, mark it as done and the load will be counted.
Check here for a similar question:
Currently I have Hevy auto sync to strava that auto syncs to intervals.
I could sync Hevy → Google Fit → intervals but I think it would be the same.
Hevy doesn’t allow for any RPE input anyways which might necessary for any useful load calculation.
But yeah even if there was a way to just set a rule like “All workouts are 50 load” that would be more useful than having them count 0 or having to manually enter them.
Or fancier, this workout name is this load, that workout name is another load.
Go to settings and scroll down:
You can adjust how much weight lifting affects fitness and fatigue (assuming you record it with a watch).
thanks! Hevy does not record heartrate data but I also log them with my fitbit so maybe I could pump those over through google fit.
Looks like there’s nothing useful coming in to Intervals…
Do as I said:
This has the advantage that a workout description is also available.
ALT-Drag on the calendar to copy to another day
Mark each as done when executed and the estimated load will be counted.
I am manually creating them currently. Thanks for the tip!
Let’s hope David will soon consider a better integration with Hevy.
It is now clear and evident that strength work is a priority for every type of specific sport, cycling, running, swimming, tennis, football, ecc ecc, in short the preparation of strength is the basis for then conditioning it and using it for your sporting discipline. Having a more in-depth integration with Hevy I believe is increasingly of growing interest for everyone. You could have collected all the data of all the training sessions on intervals.icu.
Let’s hope in the near future
I would add that I have contacted the developers of Hevy several times, to ask if they can integrate the heart rate recording during training into the app. This would be fantastic and would prevent us from having to acquire it every time with a second app. Unfortunately I have not received an answer yet.
I thought that if more people write to them they could soon consider this heart rate integration.
What do you think?
Just reading through here - I’ve used fitnotes in the past, but looking over Hevy, WeightXReps and Liftosaur - it seems Hevy has an API here Swagger UI which could make an integration a possibility.
I really like the idea of supporting liftosaur or weightxreps’s text format natively in intervals however - that would be very cool. Some sort of text-based sync app should be possible?
Liftosaur: really a good app, in some ways more permissive and complete than Hevy.
I need to figure out how to import the workout done with Liftosaur into intervals.icu in the notes, automatically importing all the details.
OK copy and paste, but I hope for a more immediate integration.
Unfortunately Liftosaur does not seem to synchronize with Strava; this would already be a good first step forward.
Yesterday I wrote to Liftosaur, asking if they were planning integrations with Strava or Intervals, and maybe even a bluetooth connection to associate heart rate monitors, But the answer was negative.
(strava/intervals.icu integration is not in plans to be honest. I only have integration with appe/Google Health at this point.)
So nothing. 
Let’s hope in the future there will be second thoughts on the part of the programmer.
I’ve become a bit interested in the topic of strength training. It certainly would be nice to be able to track it nicely on intervals.icu too. Garmin does have some detection for things but I’ve seen complaints it’s not particularly accurate.
Funnily enough, the Fit file format does cater for it, as a workout step maybe of a certain category, which can be things like bench presses, squats and all sorts.
I second this. Anyways my needs are limited on lifting. So I just track my rest times on the watch and it buzz me when the rest time is over.
I also connected Hevy to Strava, and Strava being synchronized with Intervals.icu. The problem is that in Intervals.in the notes the list of exercises performed that Hevy generates by default once the workout is finished and saved is not synchronized. The only way is to copy from Hevy and paste in the Intervals notes.
also the heart rate I record with Wahoon Fitness app, and this is automatically uploaded to Intervals in the workout.
Have you somehow managed to make Hevy via Strava automatically insert the list of exercises performed in the Intervals notes of the day trained?
Same here. Contacted them, provided feedback and new ideas for features. Unfortunately, no response at all.
My solution is as follows; record strength workouts separately, eg. Garmin watch. This provides time and load, which I use to schedule strength workouts in Intervals.icu.
For strength progression, it’s Hevy app and weightxreps.
For now I am just manually going in after the fact and manually entering a load for my Hevy workouts. I had to play around with values to try and get the fatigue curve to do what I wanted it to.
Maybe not how you are supposed to use it but I don’t think heartrate alone during lifting sessions explains the fatigue it generates in real life unless you are doing something like high rep bodyweight exercises that more closely resemble cardio.
