For RL/GL monitoring my kettlebells get tracked from my Garmin.
In the workout details you can log upper/lower/full or core sets. Kettlebells even if you’re doing pushes or cleans will engage core and legs. There’s also TSS which is at zero currently but even with my HR data I’d have zero idea what it should be.
Today I did a set of swings, a set of clean n press to squats, more cleans and then core stuff. I’m not sure if that is 2 fulls and a core or one of each.
Tldr: how best to track kb work? And does RL/GL need them for best effects?
I’ll be curious to see what TR says, but I personally just don’t log KB workouts. The way I’ve heard Nate and the team describe strength tracking, is the system expects to see sets done nearly to failure to count. Ballistics (like KB swings, cleans) don’t typically fall under that training paradigm, so I doubt it would fit well into their ML model. Ballistics are also a different animal than classic grinds.
If it was me, I’d count the clean and press as an upper body, the squats as a lower body, and then put in one set for core. Assuming you are doing these to near failure (only one or two reps left in the tank).
I pulled this from the Help Center article below: These tracked sets should be challenging, not including warm up, with each working set going to failure or within 1-2 reps of failure.
Coolio, does that mean not editing the entry as I’m not going to failure so that sets are on it or should it be deleted entirely to trigger a recalculation?
