Plate calculator

Stop doing plate maths in your head.

Enter the weight you want on the bar and Adaptiv works out exactly which plates to load on each side — for a kg or lb gym, with the bar weight factored in. If a target can't be built from your plates, it tells you the closest you can reach.

  • kg & lb plate sets
  • Per-side loading
  • Olympic bar presets

The plates are the easy part.
Adaptiv decides what goes on the bar.

Loading the bar is simple once you know the number. The hard part is knowing the right weight for today — Adaptiv prescribes it every session from your logged effort, then does the plate maths for you in the app.

  • RPE-prescribed loading
  • Loads rounded to real plates
  • Recalibrated session to session
  • A coaching note on every session
