Peoples reaction to the watch: no one has noticed or said a word. I'm 5'9" and 175, so if I can build grip strength, anyone can. I only use straps when my DL weight is at or above 90% and my grip begins to fail. Ok so that was a bit of a joke, but not really. The 'other' seems to be pretty accurate as well as the algorithm used to estimate resting calories.Īnd straps - don't use them. I'm coming off of a winter mass gain program where I was taking in 4000+ calories/day. I stay at about 2500-2800 calories to lean down slowly. What you guys have wrong on the boards is this - that doesn't mean I get to shovel 3500 calories down my throat everyday. It's almost the same numbers I used to find my true caloric needs to maintain my mass, which is BMR + activity cost (3500 calories). Having said that I use the 'other' when I'm training and I find it to be pretty accurate. Calories out, at best, are inaccurate or at worst, the path to 'calorie entitlement' and straying from your goal path. Only calories IN matter in either weight loss, cutting, or mass gain. Here's the deal about calories out - it's an interesting metric but ultimately it doesn't matter at all. So now I have a 42 SS and my only strap at the moment is the Milanese, so I've been using that combo. I usually wore a Luminox - I just feel weird without a watch on. I'm a watch guy and I just always wear one. I train with the watch on as I always trained with watches on. I'm going to assume this was a serious question. How do you use the watch at the gym without standing out? It's great when you get a message and can reply quickly or dictate, but I clearly stand out if I'm fiddling and talking to my watch so often (often but briefly). Anyone using the leather watch bands in the gym? Will it wear in a good leathery way or mess up with time and sweat? What about the Milanese? How do you use them with weight lifting straps, the kind used for better grip with deadlifts for example? For the time being, I'm just taking the watch off during deadlifts. I also use FitList for tracking workout data and it works, but as with third party apps and Bluetooth, it's so slow with loading screens sometimes I do just end up going over to the phone that I leave lying nearby. How do you use apps on the watch for weight lifting? I'm currently using it to play the music app/Overcast podcasts and remote control it and that works well. How accurately does it track weight lifting as an exercise? Currently, I start an 'other' exercise with an open goal so at least the watch can see my heart is working away despite me being stationery lifting weights for 30 seconds at a time.īut how accurate are the readings in the end? Does it over estimate or underestimate the energy output? I get the feeling t underestimates judging at how close my jogs are to a session of squats. There are a few unanswered questions for me at the moment and I figured there must be more Apple Watch owners who go to the gym for weights, so looking to see what you guys think: ![]() ![]() Can the Apple Watch work with weightlifting?
