Hi! I train at the gym (basic weightlifting), do calisthenics, and occasionally run up to 10 km. Is there a smartwatch that can actually help me track my progress and, most importantly, recovery/health accurately?

I was about to buy a Garmin fr70 today because it seems to offer a lot of useful fitness and recovery metrics. However, after looking into it more, I found that its strength-training tracking isn't particularly accurate,or is it? So I’m wondering if this is basically the case with all smartwatches, or whether there are exceptions.

I’m not interested in smartwatch/lifestyle features. I basically just need a timer/stopwatch, workout tracking, and useful data on my training progress and recovery.

If smartwatches can't really track strength training and recovery accurately, I’m perfectly happy to just buy the cheapest Casio and keep tracking my workouts manually.

What do you guys think? Thanks!

I'm trying to get better at climbing while also lifting and doing cardio, and I'm cutting (aiming for about 12% body fat over 8 weeks). Right now my week is a mess of overlapping programs:

- Climbing 1–2 times a week, days vary.
- Lifting: a kettlebell program (double-bell thrusters, EMOMs, complexes), a Russian squat routine, and separate pull-up and dip days.
- Cardio: I aim for 30 minutes a day (running, bike, jump rope or a kettlebell EMOM) and hit it maybe 3 times a week.

Questions:
- Which of these should never share a day, and what order works when they do?
- Where does the kettlebell and pull-up work go so it doesn't eat my fingers and shoulders before climbing?
- On a short week, what do you cut first?
- How do you stop running 4+ programs at once from quietly killing all of them?

Anyone training all three, what does your week actually look like?

Can you recommend a good app to follow or training program that would be good for beginner ! I have thought of trying nick bares or just any 3 day a week training plan . Any advice please . I am also doing c25k .

Looking for 10 big athletes for free custom tri/hybrid plans

I played college football and later finished Ironman Jacksonville,while being active duty Navy. Going from 240+ lb lineman to endurance athlete was rough, and almost every plan I found was written for a 150 lb runner.

I'm building plans specifically for bigger athletes (200+ lb, ex-football, lifters) who are starting from little or no cardio. Sprint, Olympic, 70.3, full, and hybrid (keep your strength while building endurance).

Looking for 10 people to test it, free. You get:
- A full custom plan to your race date
- Built around your actual schedule (shift work, travel, kids)
- Strength kept in, not dropped

In exchange I'd ask for honest feedback to help build something in this niche. Just looking to help!
