Plate loader
Exactly which plates go on each side of the bar.
Result
Enter a target weight and the plates for each side of the bar appear here.
How it works
- Subtracts the bar, halves the rest, and fills each side largest plate first from a standard set: 45, 35, 25, 10, 5 and 2.5 lb.
- If the target can't be loaded exactly, it tells you the nearest weight you can.
What it can't tell you
- Assumes a full set of standard plates. If your gym is short of 35s, a 25 and a 10 make the same weight.
- Collars, and bars that aren't 45 lb, change the total. Pick the bar you're using.
