Plate calculator should plan ahead all the sets

This issue has been addressed before, but I have also a new suggestion.


It would be a very welcame improvement, if the plate calculator could plan the plates ahead, for all of the sets. That way it would be easy to just add plates to the bar, with no need to remove the plates before putting new plates in. And if one uses lighter weight on the last set, the plate calculator could take that into account, so that you could achieve the weight of the last set just by removing the outermost plate(s). There would not be need to strip all of the plates before putting new ones to the bar.

I am experimenting to overcame the problem by using custom set style in barbell excercises and not using a lighter last set on them. It's easy to change weights with dumbbells and pulleys, so I'm using the lighter last set on those excercises. 


Come to think about It, It would be a nice addition if one could choose set style based on excercise equipment so that on certain type of excercises the AI would offer one type of excercises/sets and on another type, another workout style. For example, straight sets on heavy compound exercises, and rest pause on others; or same weight on barbell excercises and lighter last set or pyramid sets on others. Would it make it too complicated? 

Of course, the user can make the change on individual exercises manually.
