Template Updates

What you actually do in a session rarely matches the plan to the rep. You go a little heavier on rows, add a set of curls, drop the last set of squats because you were spent. Template Updates keeps your saved workout in step with reality: after each session, LiftTrack offers to update the template with what you logged, so the next time you train it reflects where you actually are.

How it works

1. Build a workout in LiftTrack and send it to your Garmin watch.
2. Train, and let the completed activity sync back to the app.
3. Open LiftTrack. At the end of the post workout recap, if what you logged differs from your saved template, an “Update Template” sheet appears.
4. Choose how much to carry over:
   • “Update Values Only” rewrites the weights and reps in your template to match what you lifted, leaving the structure alone.
   • “Update Template and Values” also applies structural changes — sets or exercises you added or skipped — so the template matches the session exactly.
   • “Keep Original Template” leaves your template untouched.
5. If you update, LiftTrack saves the template and re sends it to your watch, ready for next time.

What you’ll see in the app

• The offer only appears when there is something to carry over. If you followed the plan exactly, there is nothing to update and the sheet is skipped.
• “Update Values Only” shows when only your weights or reps changed. “Update Template and Values” shows when you also changed the makeup of the workout, and it is flagged when the change would remove sets or exercises so you do not drop work by accident.
• Updating a template is a normal edit. It re syncs to your Garmin watch automatically, the same as editing the workout by hand.

When this helps

Template Updates fits the way most people actually train: a plan you adjust on the fly. It is most useful for accessory work and any lift where the load follows how the day felt rather than a fixed weekly jump. Instead of opening the editor after every session to fix numbers, you confirm the change once and move on.

For exercises where you want a fixed, prescribed jump every week, attach a progression — Linear or Double Progression — and LiftTrack advances the weight for you instead.
