Muttley Feb 2021 8:00am, 19 Feb 2021 1,035 posts	Quote Pin Muttley Thank you Dave, I hadn't noticed ... And thank you for running these pressup challenges. Just over a year ago I'd have been pleased if I could do half a dozen.
chunkywizard Feb 2021 11:10am, 19 Feb 2021 11,432 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard Just found out something that others might be interested in. The Strength app on my Garmin FR945 counts press-ups for you. Maybe everybody but me already knows that, but it was a revelation to me!
Nellers Feb 2021 11:17am, 19 Feb 2021 38,265 posts	Quote Pin Nellers How does it do that CW? Surely there’s not enough movement through the wrist for the accelerometer to register.
chunkywizard Feb 2021 11:23am, 19 Feb 2021 11,433 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard Nellers, there is actually. Try it and see (if your watch has the strength app on). At the top of the press-up you get a jolt and I suspect it is that that it is registering. I just did 50 and it captured them all. Its also meant to work for pull-ups, sit-ups etc.
ITG 🇮🇸 Feb 2021 11:52am, 19 Feb 2021 11,874 posts	Quote Pin ITG 🇮🇸 awesome. Though since I am still on five-at-a-time, it's probably not need for me just yet Also, any tips on that? It's been a few weeks now and I still cannot really do more than 7 or 8 in a row without losing form. I also forget to breath though I'm not sure that is connected.
chunkywizard Feb 2021 11:55am, 19 Feb 2021 11,435 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard I just slowed upped it. 3 sets of 5, then 4 sets of five, then 3 sets of 7, then 4 sets of seven, then 3 sets of 8 etc.
SteveC NordRunner Feb 2021 1:02pm, 19 Feb 2021 492 posts	Quote Pin SteveC NordRunner Coros does that too but since it is a manual import to Fetch I don't bother logging them on Fetch. I tend to breathe out on the down so I don't suck in dust from the floor but I think it is supposed to be the reverse
GimmeMedals Feb 2021 1:59pm, 19 Feb 2021 19,895 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals Thanks for the tip CW. I couldn't get it to count all of my adapted press ups, but it picked up 8/10 then 4/10 then 4/15. I need to play around a bit with my posture and find the best position for them to log.
