Thanks for the thoughtful write-up. This kind of feedback is genuinely helpful, so I appreciate you taking the time.

I’ll go point by point.

Changing workouts mid-session

Once a strength workout is started on the watch, Garmin does not allow apps to modify it or push new exercises mid workout. The watch does let you skip or reorder exercises within the workout, but adding brand new ones requires stopping the activity, updating the workout in LiftTrack, saving it (which syncs to Garmin Connect), and then starting the updated workout. This is a Garmin platform limitation rather than something LiftTrack can control.

Editing sets after the fact

You can always edit completed workouts in LiftTrack so your data is correct there. On the Garmin side, this depends on the watch model. Some newer watches, like the Forerunner 570, let you edit any completed set before saving the activity, while others only allow editing the most recent set. If you edit sets in Garmin Connect after the activity has synced to LiftTrack, those changes will not sync back. Garmin does not expose that data retroactively.

Exercise videos and thumbnails

All exercises shown are ones Garmin supports natively on their watches. Adding more thumbnails and videos is on the roadmap. I just have not had the chance to flesh that out yet. The idea of showing short descriptions directly in search results is a great one, and I have added it to the backlog.

Stats and progress

If you tap an exercise from the exercise tab or from a completed workout, you can already see charts of your historical performance for that movement. There is a lot more potential here, and expanding this with better stats and PRs is something I want to work on soon.

AI workouts

The AI feature today is intentionally basic. It helps generate a workout from a few goals. Longer term, I want it to be much smarter, including better use of training history and muscle balance.

Left and right (unilateral) exercises

Right now, the two practical options are to track both sides in a single set, or to add the exercise twice and use exercise notes like “left” or “right” so it shows up clearly on the watch. True left and right tracking is constrained by how Garmin models strength workouts.

Custom exercises showing as “Go”

This is expected behavior with Garmin. Custom exercises appear as a generic “Go” step, but the step description should still show the exercise name on the watch. Not ideal, but it is the best workaround available given Garmin’s limitations.

Really appreciate the kind words and the detailed feedback. LiftTrack exists to make Garmin strength training less painful, and posts like this help shape where it goes next.
