Plate Calculator
No math between sets.
Pick your bar, then tap the plates you loaded on one side. It does the math for you: the bar plus both sides, ready to drop into your set. If you have ever stood at a loaded bar adding up numbers with your heart rate at 150, you know why it exists.
“the big plates go on first, youngblood. the counting is our job now.”
Unc, on the record

Tap one side, get the total
Pick the bar and tap what is on one side. The total is the bar plus two of that side, the same math you do staring at the sleeve.
Built into the logging flow
It floats over your workout, and one tap puts the number into the set you are logging. No calculator app, no prayer.
Dumbbells and machines too
Switch to total mode and every plate you tap just adds up. Pounds or kilos, with the plate colors you see at the gym.
This one comes
with a bully attached.
