Plate Calculator

Gym Vibes includes an integrated Plate Calculator designed to eliminate the mental math of loading a barbell, keeping you focused on your lifts.

How It Works

When logging a barbell exercise, you can long press on the weight input field to reveal the Plate Calculator bottom sheet, or access it directly from the exercise context menu.

The calculator automatically determines the exact combination of plates needed on each side of the barbell to reach your target weight.

Key Features

• Standard Barbell Weight: Defaults to a standard 45 lb (or 20 kg) barbell.
• Available Plates: Calculates using standard plate increments: 45s, 35s, 25s, 10s, 5s, and 2.5s.
• Visual Display: Shows a sleek visual representation of the barbell and the plates loaded on each side.
• Dynamic Updates: As you change your target weight, the plate breakdown updates in real-time.

Stop doing math between heavy sets and let Gym Vibes handle the calculations.
