The Plate Calculator takes the guesswork out of loading your bar. It automatically calculates the correct number and size of plates needed on each side to match your target weight, so you can spend less time doing math and more time lifting.

Tap into any barbell exercise to find the Plate Calculator. You can also swipe from left to right on any set to have it appear for any exercise to see the previous design.
How to Use the Plate Calculator
The Plate Calculator shows which plates to load for your current weight and barbell:
Plates and barbells are based on your selected equipment.
- To set consistent equipment preferences, select Manage.
- To adjust on the spot, scroll left or right through options.
If the exact weight can’t be calculated with your available plates, you’ll see a message with suggestions on how to adjust.
FAQ
Can I use the Plate Calculator on Apple Watch/Wear OS?
The Plate Calculator is only available in app.
Why can't I get the exact weight I want?
The Plate Calculator can only suggest weights that are achievable with your available plates. If an exact weight isn't possible, it rounds to the nearest loadable configuration. You can adjust your available plates in equipment settings to expand your options.
Why don't I see the Plate Calculator for some exercises?
The Plate Calculator only appears for exercises that use a barbell. Exercises that use plated machines, dumbbells, or other non-barbell equipment won't show it.
