Plate calculator
Type the weight, get the plates per side. Tick the plates your gym has; the loader uses at most half of each count per side and finds an exact load even when that means skipping a big plate.
Common loads, 20 kg bar
| Total | Per side |
|---|---|
| 40 kg | 10 |
| 60 kg | 20 |
| 80 kg | 25 + 5 |
| 82.5 kg | 25 + 5 + 1.25 |
| 100 kg | 25 + 15 |
| 120 kg | 25 × 2 |
| 140 kg | 25 × 2 + 10 |
| 160 kg | 25 × 2 + 20 |
| 180 kg | 25 × 2 + 20 + 10 |
| 200 kg | 25 × 2 + 20 × 2 |
Warm-up ramp to 100 kg: 20 × 10, 50 × 5, 70 × 3, 85 × 1.
How it works
The target minus the bar, halved, is what each side needs. The loader tries the heaviest plate first and backs off when a combination cannot finish exactly: with two 15s and four 10s, 60 kg loads 10 + 10 per side, not 15 and a gap. When no exact load exists it says so and gives the nearest loadable weight, the way the app does on the set row (“Not loadable exactly — nearest 82.5 kg”).
In the app the plate sheet opens from the set row with one tap, the inventory is saved in Settings, and “Add warm-up sets” inserts the ramp above your working sets.
