Barbell plate calculator

How to use the plate calculator

1. Choose kg or lb and enter the weight of your empty bar.
2. Enter your target total, including the bar, and list the plates you have.
3. Select Calculate and put the listed plates on each side.

Each plate needs a matching plate on the other side. The calculator adds the bar weight to twice the weight of one side. If the exact target is unavailable, it shows the closest balanced total below your target.

For example, a 20 kg bar and two 20 kg plates on each side add up to 100 kg. Reset clears the target and restores the standard bar and plate presets.
