So I went for a run to the local gym yesterday, and added the one hour workout to my calendar. I added it as a 3 on the intensity scale which gave me a figure of 43 tss. The workout was a pretty standard 3x10 style upper body type with one 3x10 in the squat rack (very light) to help with a dodgy kn…

Good points, I didn’t really think of it’s relevance to cycling. However, maybe if I incorporated leg work more often then I’m sure it would be relevant. I’m dipping my toes into triathlon this year so figured the strength would help, as it would also overall joint health.

Using RPE is likely the best bet? I lift once a week minimum. I would like to create a cycle of lifting every 5 days, some weeks it works out some it doesnt. I do about 3-5 working sets of squats 3 sets of pistol squats (unweighted cause they hard as fuck) 3-6 sets of deadlifts All depending on…

I’ve never seen any value in adding in strength training TSS. I’ve churned over it, tracked it, maintained it… and it’s never delivered anything actionable or worthwhile, so I’ve stopped worrying about it. I track cycling, running, and swimming, all as separate entities, and maintain a total TSS ba…

Is using RPE is likely the best bet? Anyway. I think a 30 minute to 45 minute lifting session is a minimum of 30TSS. I bet though on my solid, hard lifting days I get a 60TSS. Shouldnt it all be a score of how long its going to take to recover form said workout?! Like If if lift Monday, usually my…

[image] need4gforce: Shouldnt it all be a score of how long its going to take to recover form said workout?! Like If if lift Monday, usually my legs are tired or weakened until Thursday. This is why I don’t find value in tracking strength training TSS. It’s essentially made up and not tied to…

Existing discussion: Should I try to assign a tss to my strength training - #2 by Captain_Doughnutman Random Question: Has anyone ever come up with a TSS-like equation for weight lifting?

For what it’s worth, the only activity I don’t put onto my TR calendar with an assigned TSS is when I walk my dog. :slight_smile: I have inside/outside rides, runs, core, and weight sessions all on there. For me, the calendar is where I track my schedule irrespective of TSS. I suppose I could just …

i use 27Tss for 45 min workouts

FWIW I do use my HR monitor when I do my weight lifting. I would think that either you’re more fresh or making gains if your HR doesnt spike as high on the same weight/effort as previously… Right?!

No. HR will be impacted by the pace of the lift, what you do in between sets, how fast you walk between machines, many other variables as it is on the bike, etc. HR is also relatively meaningless in transients as it lags effort and the lag changes with a bunch of factors as above. You won’t get to …
