Workout List Pro
Log your workout. Copy to share.
Built for CrossFitters, weightlifters and powerlifters who just want the answer fast.
Type your target weight and get the plate breakdown immediately. No buttons to press, no waiting.
See your loaded barbell drawn to scale with competition-standard plate colors. Load it right, every time.
Building the bar by feel? Tap plates to add them and watch the total climb. Load and Reverse share one working weight, so flip between them and your number follows.
“How do I load my barbell in PlatePal?” Siri asks your target weight, then reads back and shows the exact plates per side for your active gym — in your units. Or have it open straight to the Load screen at that weight.
Tell PlatePal exactly what you own (or have unlimited access to at a gym) and calculations will only use plates you actually have.
Switch between Imperial and Metric at any time. Works with all standard barbell types including Olympic, Women's, and technique bars.
Save separate plate inventories for every gym you train at: home rack, commercial gym, garage setup. Switch with a tap.
Log the weights you hit as you go, reorder them, and copy the whole list to your gym or notes app. Kept separately for each gym profile.
Tap “%” on Load or Reverse to see the nearest loadable weight at every percentage from 20% to 120%, built for percentage-based programming.
Your plates don't match the standard colors? Customize each denomination to match what's actually in your gym.
Save every bar in your gym: Olympic, trap bar, women's bar, and more. Switch bars in a tap without touching your profile.
PlatePal's core calculators (Load and Reverse), plus the visual barbell and plate inventory, are completely free. No time limits, no feature degradation, no ads.
Upgrading to Pro unlocks multi-gym profiles, multiple barbells, the percentage calculator, the Workout List, custom plate colors, and alternate app icons.
