How do I log sets on my Apple Watch?

With StrongLifts on Apple Watch, you can log sets from your wrist. Your iPhone gets each set at once.

Each exercise has its own page. The page shows the exercise, the weight and a big circle for the next set. The small circles under it show all your sets. If the exercise has warmup sets, they come first on a separate page with an orange circle.

Log a set

  1. Tap the big circle one time.
  2. StrongLifts logs 5 reps and starts the rest timer

You can also log the set with double tap: tap your index finger and thumb together twice, on the hand that wears your Apple Watch. Double tap works on Apple Watch Series 9 or later, Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, and Apple Watch SE 3.
