Smart UI

Nice execution.
Add different colors for the same weight range and it’d be perfect. For example, 4 - 25 lbs plates - one pair yellow & another black.

Great app

A lot of the popular weightlifting apps like Hevy and strong don’t have a barbell calculator for Apple Watch this app is perfect for those who want to stay off there phone
