feat: Add feature to include body weight with exercise when recording #203

Closed andreped closed 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Some exercises are done with body weight (for example pull-ups). Thus, when you do pull-ups with 5 kg of weight, it will only say 5 kg per reps which is a drastic underestimation of the actual weight lifted for that exercise. For these types of exercises it would be better if we could tag if an exercise should include body weight - which ideally should be dynamically handled based on the weight a person has at a given day.

Describe the solution you'd like Exercises should have the option to add "body weight" as the lifted weight, and could then get the number directly from the person's set body weight at that time.

Exercises should also have the ability to add more than body weight. I do weighted pull-ups with 15 or 20 kg hanging in a chain around my waist, therefore making me lift body weight + 20 kg.

However, without the up-to-date body weight option, if I were to gain 5 kg and still lift 20 kg some months later, it would look like I have stagnated strength-wise, while in reality I lift 5 kg more.
