FAQ
Does it track training logs or 1RM percentages?
No. PlateMathPro is a dedicated tool for one thing: working out what plates go on the bar. It doesn't log reps, sets, body weight or training history.
Why dynamic programming instead of a greedy pick?
Greedily grabbing the biggest plate first can miss the true minimum. For 40kg per side, 25+15 (2 plates) beats 20+10+10 (3 plates). PlateMathPro always finds the minimum.
What happens if a weight can't be loaded exactly?
You get a suggestion card showing the closest weight that can actually be loaded. If your target is lighter than the bar itself, you'll see a clear error instead.
Can I mix kg and lb?
No, that's intentional. There is no conversion between the two — each unit system has its own independent plate setup.
