Don't have 35lb plates?  Click to use this version instead.

Our Weight Plate Calculator is a convenient and easy-to-use tool designed to help weightlifters determine the necessary plates needed to reach their desired barbell weight. Whether you're performing squats, deadlifts, bench presses, or any other barbell exercise, this tool simplifies the process of calculating the weights.

The calculator eliminates the guesswork involved in evenly distributing the weight on each side of the barbell. It supports the commonly used weight plates - 45lbs, 35lbs, 25lbs, 10lbs, 5lbs, and 2.5lbs.

How to use the Weight Plate Calculator:

1. Enter your desired total weight: This is the combined weight of the barbell and all the plates you plan to lift.
2. Select the weight of your barbell: Choose from the standard barbell weights - 45lbs, 35lbs, or 25lbs.
3. Click 'Calculate': The calculator will now display a list of the weight plates you need to add on each side of your barbell to achieve your desired total weight. If your total weight is not achievable with the standard plate sizes, the calculator will also display the remaining weight you need to add on each side.

This easy-to-use tool is ideal for weightlifters of all levels, helping you organize your workout more efficiently, so you can focus on lifting and not on math!
