Features
Solved with the minimum number of plates
Enter your target and bar weight, and PlateMathPro solves the per-side loadout with dynamic programming — not a greedy guess that ends up with extra plates.
See it on a load diagram, not just numbers
A side-view of the bar renders each plate in official IPF colors, sized proportionally, so you can see exactly what goes on and in what order.
Handles weights that don't load exactly
If your target can't be built exactly, PlateMathPro shows the closest weight you actually can load — not a rough estimate.
Save your regulars for one-tap recall
Star a weight once, then tap it from the Quick list next time. No more re-entering the same numbers before every set.
kg and lb stay fully separate
There's no unit conversion between the two. kg mode only ever works with kg plates, lb mode only with lb plates — no rounding confusion.
You are at the rack with 142.5 kg on the board and thirty seconds before your set. This app tells you what to load, per side, before you finish reading the number.
PlateMathPro does one thing: barbell plate arithmetic. Type the total weight, and it shows the plates for one side in IPF colours, drawn as they sit on the bar.
BUILT FOR THE GYM FLOOR
- Huge, readable numbers you can see at arm's length
- A side view of the loaded bar in competition plate colours
- The per-side breakdown in plain text: 25 x 2, 10 x 1, 2.5 x 1
- Plus and minus buttons in 2.5 and 5 steps
IT USES THE PLATES YOU ACTUALLY OWN
- Turn each plate size on or off in Settings
- Separate lists for kg and lb, kept independent
- Set your own bar weight — 20, 15, 10 kg or 45, 35 lb
- If your exact number cannot be built, it tells you the closest weight that can
FEWEST PLATES, EVERY TIME
The solver searches every combination rather than grabbing the biggest plate first, so you carry the least metal and strip the bar faster.
YOUR WORKING WEIGHTS, ONE TAP AWAY
Star the weights you hit often. They sit in a list, sorted, each with its own loading diagram. Tap one and the calculator is already set.
