this doesn't track at all. If I had to guess, I'd guess that the station where you are doing this has numbers on the plates - but that they don't represent the number of pounds at that level. Many stations are set up like this.
If I had to guess - the numbers might represent 10s of lbs or some other value, but not single pounds.
