I also have multiple friends with both AWs and whoop. Except for one, all of them have the exact same problem. And we all don’t know why it works for the one guy. But that one guy is also super tall, and has a pretty high baseline HR. Maybe that’s got to do with this.
Anyways, regarding the „tracking afterwards“ that’s basically the same as tracking during the workout. If the strength trainer knows the weights and reps it can include muscular strain and adjusts the total strain. That’s also why I must use the strength trainer, because otherwise whoop would calculate the strain for a really really heavy and intense workout over 90mins the same as a walk in the park because it never detects HR above 120. Maybe the walk in the park would be even more intense for whoop because without the spikes during a regular cardio session, it detects properly
Anyways, thanks for sharing your experiences
