Currently, I have to recreate certain machine exercises and set the equipment type to Barbell just so the plate calculator works correctly for exercises where plates are loaded on both sides. This works as a workaround, but it makes the exercise setup less accurate because the exercise is not actually a barbell movement. A common example would be plate-loaded machines like Hammer Strength machines, plate-loaded rows, presses, leg press, etc. These are not barbell exercises, but they still need the same kind of “plates per side” calculation. It would be helpful if each exercise could have a plate-loading option, for example: No plate calculator Single-sided plate loading Dual-sided plate loading Barbell Custom base weight / machine starting weight The important part is that the plate calculator should not depend on setting the exercise to Barbell. It should be possible to keep the exercise as a machine exercise while still telling Bevel whether the plates are loaded on one side or both sides.
