Plate loader
A missed plate is how a planned 60 kg becomes 70 kg. Enter the weight and the bar. The loader lists the plates for one side. Put the same plates on the other side.
How a bar is loaded
- The bar counts. A 20 kg bar plus the plates is the weight you write down. Do not write only the plates.
- Heaviest plates go on first, closest to the sleeves you are standing inside. Smaller plates go outside them.
- If the gym has no 1.25 kg plates, the loader may stop short of the number you typed. It tells you the weight you can actually make.
- Collars add a little and stop the plates walking. They are not in the sum. If you care about that fraction, know your collars.
- Load both sides before you step under the bar or deadlift it. One side heavier is how bars tip.
