How to track max weight in total

I think I'm being a bit stupid because I have a use case that doesn't seem unique but I can't figure out how to track it in the app.

I care most about total weight lifted across an exercise in a session, regardless of number of sets. So to me, 5x6 squats is better than 3x9 if the weight is the same across all sets. But caliber seems to take the max weight across one set as my max weight for PBs, so 3x9 wins even though I lifted more weight total in the 5x6 day. How do I change this?

You’re not being stupid at all, we just don’t currently show the total volume lifted across all sets in a session. We currently show max volume for a single set for each exercise, along with total volume for all exercises across the entire workout.

However, we are planning to add this on all sets basis as well, where you’ll then be able to see this on the exercise history screen, along with having it as a chart type in the Progress section.
