Plate Calculator

Choose your bar and target load to see which plates to load on each side.

Calculate a load

  1. Open Plate Calculator in the app.
  2. Enter the target total weight.
  3. Choose an active bar from your equipment list.
  4. Review the plates shown for each side.

The calculator uses the available plate inventory saved to your account. If the exact total cannot be loaded, it reports the closest lower load and the difference. Choose Add Bars or Add Plates only when you want to manage equipment.

Units and inventory

The calculator follows your preferred weight unit. Pound and kilogram accounts start with suitable default bars and plates. Changing your preferred unit does not convert existing workout or equipment values, so review your inventory after changing the setting.
