A branded card, ready to post.
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? Switch to Add Plates and tap plates to watch the total climb. Enter Weight and Add Plates share one working weight in a single Load tab, so swiping between them keeps your number.
“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 tab 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.
Know the weight in a different unit than your gym uses? Enter it and PlatePal converts it, then offers the closest weights your plates can actually build — rounded up and down.
Log the weights you hit as you go, reorder them, then copy the whole list to your gym app or share your session as a branded image card — post it to Instagram or Messages, or save it to Photos. Kept separately for each gym profile.
Save separate plate inventories for every gym you train at: home rack, commercial gym, garage setup. Switch with a tap.
Tap “%” on the Load tab 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 Load tab — enter a weight or build the bar plate by plate — plus the visual barbell, plate inventory, and the Workout List (log, copy, and share your session) are completely free. No time limits, no feature degradation, no ads.
Upgrading to Pro unlocks multi-gym profiles, multiple barbells, the percentage calculator, custom plate colors, and alternate app icons.
