PlatePal: Barbell Calculator

New in 2.0: The Logbook. Every session you save is kept for good, with records for every lift. Import your history from other apps. Plus supersets and warm-up ramps.

Stop doing barbell math in your head. And stop losing track of what you lifted.

PlatePal tells you exactly which plates to put on each side of the bar to hit any weight, drawn to scale, in your plate colors, using only the plates you actually own. And new in 2.0, the Logbook keeps every session you save, for good.

LOAD (free) • By Weight: type a target and see the exact per-side plate breakdown instantly, with a to-scale barbell in competition plate colors. • By Plates: build the bar by tapping plates and watch the running total. Perfect for working up by feel, or answering "what's already on the bar?" • One tab, one number: both modes share a working weight. Type in one, switch to the other, and it's already there. • Step up or down by your increment, tap a recent weight, or enter a weight in the other unit and PlatePal converts it. • When an exact load isn't possible, PlatePal shows the nearest loadable weight.

WORKOUT (free) • Tap "Add to Workout" to log the weights you hit, grouped by lift, with reps and notes. • Warm-up ramps: tap the flame on a lift and PlatePal plans your warm-up. Each step is reachable by adding plates to the bar you're already holding, built from plates you own, with suggested reps. • Supersets: link lifts together and your sets are labeled A1, A2. Matching rounds collapse to "3 rounds" when you copy or share. • Mark warm-ups so they stay out of your stats, plan target reps, and record a missed set as 3 of 5 instead of pretending it didn't happen. • Share the session as clean text to paste anywhere, or as a branded Card or Story image. PRs get a medal stamped on the card automatically.

LOGBOOK (new in 2.0) • Every session you save is kept for good: a timeline of your training, and a page for every lift. • Rep-max records tracked per lift (1RM, 3RM, 5RM, and more), with the history behind each one. • Hit a PR and PlatePal spots it the moment you save, and invites you to share it. • Reload any past session onto the Workout tab and run it again. • Browse your Logbook free: the timeline, PR trophies, filters, import, and export. Open any workout for its set-by-set detail and your exact rep-maxes with PlatePal Pro.

IMPORT & EXPORT (free) • Bring your history with you: import workouts from Strong, Hevy, or SugarWOD (Beta). Barbell lifts import; anything skipped is itemized so you know exactly what and why. • Back up your Logbook as a PlatePal file and restore it anywhere, or export a spreadsheet (CSV) for your own analysis. • Import and export are free, Pro or not. Your training data is never locked in.

PERCENTAGES (free) • Tap "%" on the Load tab for a table from 20% to 120%, mapped to your exact plates and built for percentage-based programming. Every row shows the nearest loadable weight.

ASK SIRI (free) • "How do I load my barbell in PlatePal?" Siri asks your target weight, then reads back AND shows the exact plates per side, using your active gym profile's bar, plates, and units.

PLATE INVENTORY (free) • Set how many of each plate you own, or mark them unlimited for gym mode. PlatePal only suggests loads you can actually build.

MULTIPLE GYMS & BARS (Pro) • Save a separate setup (plates, bars, and units) for every place you train. • Switch bars (Olympic, women's, trap, technique, or custom) per session without touching your profile.

PLATEPAL PRO • One purchase, yours forever: the full Logbook (open any workout for its set-by-set detail and exact rep-maxes), multiple gym profiles, multiple barbells, custom plate colors, and custom app icons. No subscription.

Whether you're a powerlifter chasing a percentage, a coach setting up a rack, or just tired of plate math mid-workout, PlatePal gets the right plates on the bar, and remembers every session.
