The new Exercises tab for strength training is great, but right now it can only be filled in manually in the app (or through a handful of privileged partner integrations). My Garmin can't auto-detect lifts, so every strength session needs manual exercise entry.
Please expose exercises through the public API — reading and writing sets, reps, and weight per exercise. That would let any training app, not just the big partners, populate the Exercises tab automatically, the same way runs and rides already sync with full data. For those of us following coached strength programs and log their lifts in other platforms, this would make Strava a real strength training log instead of a free-text workaround. If anyone has solutions for this, I am open to all suggestions.
How I'm working around it today: My gym programs workouts in PushPress and my Garmin can't auto-detect lifts, so I have an assistant read my workout screenshots and write the full breakdown — exercises, sets, reps, weights — into the activity description through the API. It works, but it's just free text: no muscle map, no per-exercise history, none of the structure the Exercises tab was built for. API access to exercises would turn this workaround into a real integration.
