Total Volume (sets*reps*weight) Option/Feature For Each Exercise
It would be nice to add an option to show/calculate the total volume for each exercise for the current workout session and the previous workout sessions. I think it'd add an additional way to help quantify training, as well as giving an additional controllable variable to improve on (other than just solely hitting personal best records for the highest given weight). As of right now, it is very hard to manually check how much volume work you actually do during a given session other than manually calculating it yourself, which is very tedious and time consuming. Would this idea be feasible, or would the calculations the app would have to carry out affect the stability and performance of the app?

Hi there, thanks for sharing this idea. I had thought about it back when I first built the app, but I feel like there's some disagreement among the fitness community over how useful the sets*reps*weight calculation actually is for tracking progress. That being said, it would be a fairly simple calculation, and maybe one that could be turned on as an option in settings. Let's see how the LiftRep community votes and if it's something that might be of interest for others? Note that I'm also just struggling to find spare time to add new features to the app, but if there's a new resurgence of interest maybe I'll be able to find some spare cycles in the future...
