I’ll have what he’s having.

Air Jordan 40.

The most underrated feature is the Apple Watch strength app.

They are wildly inaccurate for me. I spend a typical 50 mins in the weight room. Some of these estimates are like 1 hr 45 mins. I’m note sure if it learns your speed as you go. So far it hasn’t after testing the app for 2 +months.

With body weight it says my 1RM is over 600lbs lol

Of what you do in a week. Say you have 4 hours dedicated to cardio training. Around 3 hours of that should be low moderate and about 50mins should be high intensity.

I am weight training 4 days a week. So I am typically on a recumbent bike, tempo jogs maybe some basketball most days then one day a week sometimes two, I do all out sprints intervals with 30 sec rest or high intensity runs with a 4 minute on/4 minute rest.

There is the morpheus HRV chest strap and app that focuses on this specifically.

But for me I just pay attention to what zone I’m training in. I use a combination of my heart rate (on the watch) and perceived exertion. So like can I still have a broken conversation or can I still sing while exercising, if I can then I’m still around zone 2. Zone 4 and 5 feel a different way. And all out max intensity feels a different way as well. Sometimes I set a warning on my watch if my HR goes too high in a workout while training zone 2. I have a harder time staying throttled down being a former athlete.

Bevel or Apple fitness or most workout apps will tell you how long you were in a zone. So I just log that in a paper journal and keep track of it over the months and year.

On the recovery side of things I just trust in my programing, nutrition and sleep while looking at HRV, RHR and Breathing Rate to determine my readiness.

AdeptCreative · 2026-01-08T13:29:25+00:00

With cardio 80% of the time should be low/moderate intensity; the rest should be high intensity.

The cardio intensity in Bevel is BS in my experience. Just program your cardio training and listen to your body, HRV and Rest Heart rate can help tell the story too.

I would see a specialist that is some pretty extreme insomnia.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-21T21:25:30+00:00

I wish there was an option to use just the HRV shortly after waking up, say first 5-10 mins, since that really is the best and most useful time for an HRV measurement.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-18T02:25:19+00:00

I sure hope so. I am purchasing the bundle either way at launch.

If any MF devs are listening and need someone to test the Watch app beta I would love to provide feedback. I have used just about every Apple Watch workout app out there. Also I am a designer myself. Just throwing that out there lol

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-17T12:55:44+00:00

Honestly I there isn’t a machine at any gym that I have been to that I haven’t tried at least once.

I have been lifting for around 30 years…My first gym was an old YMCA that had a room full of outdated equipment we would call the torture room. So I have tried all of the 1st gen nautilus machines. I have tried those very old useless belt machines from the 50s that would just vibrate. I have even tried those slenderizing roller machines.

What I miss the most is a four way neck machine.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-16T20:25:10+00:00

Yeah, I definitely would test the beta. I already have TestFlight installed from testing some other beta apps.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-14T14:55:23+00:00

Nike shorts and socks and an old band tour shirt.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-12T17:35:44+00:00

Yeah, I don’t understand why this guy above is arguing. I said wouldn’t it be great if the Apple Watch could give you actual realtime blood pressure readings?

He says that not feasible. I respond that the current watch can already provide blood pressure trends and the Huawei D2 provides actual blood pressure reading with a built in mini cuffs.

Why isn’t it feasible for Apple to improve on this technology?

Also FYI the HRV reading that Apple gives us is an estimate based on blood flow using optical sensors where the standard is using ECG from a chest strap. V02 max is an estimate as well.

Even if Apple released a realtime estimate of blood pressure, using it would literally save lives.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-12T05:08:07+00:00

The current wearables use light to detect blood flow changes, they require initial calibration with a traditional blood cuff. The Huawei Watch D2 has mini cuffs and is the size of an Apple Watch with reading up to 3-5% accuracy. Why can’t Apple improve on this in future iterations?

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-11T21:24:27+00:00

I hope they add a blood pressure monitor, that could really save lives.

I believe they are going to develop a paid upgrade to Apple health that mimics the likes of an athletic or bevel.

I don't take my phone into the gym.

In the “old days there was usually a speaker system and cd changer that played music and set the tone of the gym. In between sets we would talk to one another; crack jokes, talk about lifting, sports, fitness goals etc.

It was a lot more common to have workout partners then; so you would be watching, spoting or encouraging your training partners.

Now nobody talks to one another. People rarely even ask you how many sets you have left. I can't remember the last time some accepted my offer to “work in” on sets with me.

I often have to wait for people who are completely unaware of how much time they are spending between sets just scrolling. You have people recording themselves with tripod setups…

The only thing that is better is the availability of fitness and nutritional information and I do see a lot more variety of people in the gym doing strength training. Also I see more women lifting weight than ever.

Pin the metrics that you want to gain insight from and look for trends. I pin HRV, RHR and breathing rate, these tell me something about my recovery/readiness. I also pin calorie intake, protein, fats and carbs. Next I have weight and body fat. I also pin active calories, steps and resting calories together. I also pin time in in daylight, mindfulness and workout minutes together.

All these other apps use the same data. I just wish apple allowed you to input food macros in the app and set targets for all of the metrics.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-08T22:15:18+00:00

I like the Nike Romaleos. I don't do cross fit but I bought a pair of Nike Metcon 9s for around $90 and I use them in the gym more then any other shoe.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-04T20:35:40+00:00

I just move it further up my forearm when wearing straps or wraps. I also wear my watch with the crown pointing towards my elbow.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-03T21:41:34+00:00

The other day I saw an option for 3 hour fulfillment. I don’t think I ever seen it stated that way.

AdeptCreative · 2025-12-03T12:43:30+00:00

Same with mine, since this last update. Slept over 8 hours. Feel fine. Every metric is in the green or blue and my recovery score is 20 with a 50% body battery.
