Plate Calculator: What You Own

Tell it which plates you actually have and which bar you actually lift, and it stops guessing.

Your plate set, not an imaginary one.

Enter the sizes you own and how many pairs of each. A home rack with one pair of 20s and a commercial gym with a full rack are different problems, and this treats them that way. Keep both, switch between them.

Any bar weight, typed in.

Men's 20 kg, women's 15 kg, a 44 lb Olympic bar, a trap bar, an EZ curl, a Smith carriage. Pick one of the sixteen presets or type the number your gym's bar actually weighs. Nothing is hardcoded at 45 lb.

The nearest loadable weight, named.

When your plates cannot reach the number you asked for, you get the closest weight below and the closest above with the gap on each. Almost right is not right, and a calculator that hides the difference is worse than no calculator.

Fewest plates, heaviest first.

Among the ways to make a weight, it picks the one with the fewest plates to lift and slide. Fifty-five kilos on a full rack is fifteen plus two and a half per side, not three separate plates.

Collars and end trim are counted.

Turn collars on and both of them come off the target before the halves are worked out. Guess wrong here and every set is off by five kilos.

Both units, always on screen.

Kilograms and pounds sit side by side everywhere, so a gym that switched over does not need mental arithmetic between sets.

A warm-up that is actually loadable.

Pick three to five sets and the ramp snaps every step to a weight your plates can build. Watch a short ad and it will also list what to take off and put on between sets.
