Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

1.Manually having to enter bw twice once when starting the workout and second when you log the load on bw excercise
2.difficulty logging weighted bw excercises as of current correct me if im wrong there is no way to properly calculate the load on a weighted excercise with 1 bw ratio unless u do the math and enter the load for example if my bw is 80 u would do 80+2.5 and put 82.5

Describe the solution you'd like

1.because we enter our bw when we start a workout, it would be more efficient pulling the bw from that and then multiplying it by the ratio on specific excercises to automatically calculate the load for exercises that use bw
2.it would be better if we could have something like this to make it easier to log and look back on in the future without having to do the math again and again when ur bw fluctuates daily

feel free to let me know anything ive missed and your thoughts

I guess it's not super obvious through the UI. But the load you enter is assistance/resistance without your bodyweight.

So if you have a bodyweight ratio 1 exercise, like a pull-up, and set the loads to 5, 0, and -5. The loads will be BW+SetLoad for each set. If your bodyweight is 100, it'll be 105, 100, 95.

Also scaled properly according to your ratio, if there's a 0.7 bw ratio like push ups, 75, 70, 65.

The app is doing what you want it to, I just wasn't able to communicate that well ig.

that really isnt super obvious because the bw is just empty when u log a set ive just been adding my bw manually
probably should improve the ui so that users can actually see that happening im just oblivious lol

Yeah, my bad, I'll add some pointers or something to ensure the users know this feature exists.

yup thatd be awesome and just people not realizing this feature exists just takes away credit from the app as well
but i think it would be nice to split the load into bw and addition load at least on history of workouts for easier recognizability though

a little more feedback so the exercise chart for bw exercises just uses the load itself and not the bw+load
i think because bodyweight fluctuates alot on different days it would be better to use bw+load for absolute load

by the way in case its harder for you to keep track of should i open another feature request for this as well

hmm, this one is a bit blurry, there are valid reasons for both, maybe a toggle would be better? yeah a separate issue, always.
