Why does it only offer certain weights?
Next Lift only suggests weights you can actually build from the plates you own, loaded evenly on both sides. If a number can't be made, it tells you instead of letting you plan something you can't load.
For example if you have a 20kg bar, 2x 10kg weight plates, and 2x 5kg weight plates then you will be able to log:
- 20kg (bar only)
- 30kg (bar 20kg + 2x 5kg)
- 40kg (bar 20kg + 2x 10kg)
- 50kg (bar 20kg + 2x 10kg + 2x 5kg)
It will _not_ let you select 45kg, as this isn't loadable with even plates on each side.
