First post on the forum, woohoo! On to the question: There is a scale beam at the gym I go to like this one:

The bottom bar has notches for different weights ie, 100, 150, 200 up to 300. The top bar has a slider, I think it goes 0 something. I assume that you set the bottom notch slider to the weight that you would be around, so 200ish, and then you slide the top beam to get them to balance, and when it balances add the top bar to the bottom? So if the bottom bar is 200 and the top one is 24 I would weigh 224 pounds? Is that right? This is probably a really silly question, but I just wanted to be sure. I tried to google it and search here to no avail. Thanks!
