What would also be good is if athletes also use a wearable to track a strength/gym session, that it syncs with the planned session (as per other workout types), so that a HR track and HrTSS may be added to the workout along with their tracking.

Defining the 1 rep max for each (or a subset) of lifts would be a good benchmark, like a cycling FTP to base TSS and planning on.

Instead of a pure weight defined in the plan, you could be a % of the 1RM

I’d also like to see the ability for TP to “read in” strength training plans from something like a PDF. I use MAPS and having their plans in TP would be a game changer

What it should be is an input available on any strength workout for total volume in tonnage, and then the completed TSS should be calculated as how Joe Frield says in this https://joefrieltraining.com/the-weightlifting-pmc-part-2/ (which also implies needing a setting for a default session TSS to multiply from).

I'm also running a parallel strength workout on my garmin watch to get the TSS for the strength session. I then end up with two 45m workouts in the calendar and I have to go into the entry created by syncing the garmin record and manually set the time to 1m so as to get the TSS logged without impacting on my workout time totals. it still end up with 2 workouts logged, it's messy to look at and irritating to do.

I understand it's not simple to automate a TSS for a strength workout so as a placeholder until you figure that out, please let us assign our own TSS. Maybe similarly to how we add an RPE post workout. Since I'll be dedicating significant training energy to strength in the gym this winter, it will skew my fitness outcomes if it gets zero TSS but keeps me too fatigued for other training.

One thought is to be able to pair the file from the wearable with the strength workout. Right now if I use the new strength builder, and also start a Strength activity on my watch, I will have 2 strength items on my TP calendar. It would be great to be able to pair these the way I would with a synced workout and Race on my calendar, or a Planned run that didn't automatically pair with the tracked activity.

I have to run a apple workout at the same to receive the TSS score, but this pushes into my Fuelin data. Rather than show in the TrainingPeaks workout.
This leaves me with double strength workouts if I change Fuelin data field to 'strength' or an 'Other workout' duration
Push the workout to devices makes sense...Apple/Garmin other.
Also needs a time of day adding to the workout.

I totally agree on this and even Joel Friel has made several blogs about this in the past. Now my workaround is to add new and old strength session and then complete both of them. Ridiculous!

Also, pleas add Garmin integration!

Any schedule on this?
