I'm getting 30lbs for the first set of 10 when I punch in 175. Anyone else seeing the same? Is there a flaw in the calculator or is it me/my screwed up computer?

Regardless, dropthebeats did an absolutely fabulous piece of work on this. Can't say thank you enough man...

I'm getting the same. 30lbs for the first set of 10 on both w/o 1 and 2. Seems to be the same for any number that I enter.

throw it into the bottom matrix rather than the top one, i think the top is a bit off w/ a couple #'s

I get the same on the bottom one as well. I'll alert dropthebeats here, perhaps he can make the fix...

^^ the excel file can be edited by anyone, therefore anyone can change the formula maybe make a downloadable zip file.

I PM'd thebuffer as I'm no excel/math whiz. I think he was working on it anyway. If someone does come up with a formula fix, by all means do share.

I'll try and look at it later today...

Its just a little fix, =product(b4,.5) (i think). I went ahead and made some changes, but there was another person in there changing what I did. Hopefully they leave it alone. It is set up for anyone to make changes.

b4 represents the max (175) and .5 represents doing 50% of the max weight. I believe that it listed as 88 lbs, which you would round down to 85.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

These things matter to me. Perhaps more than you know...
