Barbell Plate Calculator
Enter a target weight and see the plates, per side, from the plates your gym actually has.
For the sets you do not do often
You know what 100 kg looks like. You do not necessarily know the fastest loading for 137.5 kg at a gym missing its 2.5s. This solves the arithmetic in the ten seconds before a heavy single, which is exactly when you least want to do arithmetic.
- Plate breakdown per side for any target weight
- Kilos and pounds, including mixed gyms
- Set the bar weight: 20 kg, 45 lb, or a training bar
- Limit it to the plates your gym actually stocks
- Warm-up percentages loaded out for you
Warm-ups without a spreadsheet
Give it a working weight and it lays out the warm-up ladder with plate loading for each step, so you are not recalculating between every set.
Common questions
Does it handle a gym that only has some plates?
Yes. Tell it which plates exist and it will only suggest loadings you can actually make.
Can it do kilos and pounds together?
Yes, which is useful in gyms that have accumulated both over the years.
