Load That Bar
Barbell Plate Calculator
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Now with a Home Screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, workout history, and a real light mode.
Load That Bar helps lifters quickly determine exactly what plates to load on each side of a barbell. Enter your target weight, choose your barbell type, and the app calculates a clear per-side loading guide with a visual plate layout.
You can switch between pounds and kilograms, customize available plate sizes, and use Ladder Mode for multi-set progression planning.
Version 1.1 is a top-to-bottom rebuild of how the app looks and feels, plus real new features:
• Home Screen widget and Siri Shortcuts — see what to load without opening the app
• Workout history — every set you calculate or log is saved, grouped by day
• Multiple named gym profiles — switch between your home rack and the gym in one tap
• A real light mode, full Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support throughout
• A proper iPad layout and a guided setup that actually asks about your plates
Load That Bar is fast, simple, and built for practical gym use without accounts, subscriptions, or required setup.
