Use the plate calculator

Turn a target total weight into plates per side.

How to use it

1. Open the plate calculator from the exercise weight field.
2. Choose the available plates and whether to include a bar or machine base weight.
3. Set a bar preset or enter its weight manually; review the suggested plates per side.

How to interpret it

Example: for a 135 lb target with a 45 lb bar, 90 lb remains for plates, or 45 lb on each side. Machine and cable numbers are not necessarily comparable across equipment.
