Custom Gym & Strength Split Integration

Last updated: 20 Jul 2026

Apple Health activity synchronization logs gym workouts as generic WeightTraining entries without details on specific exercises or muscle groups worked. Caden solves this by letting you map custom strength splits directly onto your weekly training schedule.

Supported Gym Workout Categories

Push Workout Split. Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. (Barbell bench press, overhead press, incline dumbbell press). Pull Workout Split. Back, Rear Delts, Biceps. (Pull-ups, barbell rows, lat pulldowns). Legs Workout Split. Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes, Calves. (Deadlifts, squats, Bulgarian split squats, calf raises). Full Body Workout Split. Total body compound resistance training.

How Strength Fatigue Integrates with Running Recovery

When you designate a day as a Legs workout split in Caden, the system factors localized muscular fatigue into your overall recovery score. Your AI Sports Coach will recommend pairing leg lifting sessions with hard run days (running hard in the morning, lifting in the afternoon) to preserve easy recovery days.
