Know exactly what to load. Every set. Barbell PlateSense does the plate math for any bar and your real plate inventory, times your rest, and tracks every lift — with warm-up sets already calculated. Every screen is legible at arm's length, mid-set, with chalk on your hands. EXACT PLATE MATH Enter a target weight and see the exact plates for each side — for any bar and the plates your gym actually has. Standard bar, trap bar, safety squat bar, or your own custom bar with its true weight. WARM-UPS, DONE FOR YOU Every workout includes its warm-up sets with the plate math already worked out, so you ramp to your top set without the arithmetic. GYM-DISTANCE GLANCE Home puts the rest timer and the loaded bar side by side. Big, high-contrast, and readable across the room. SPIN-DIAL REST TIMER Set rest with a flick, tap to start. Between sets, PlateSense auto-alternates the loaded bar and the timer, so you just lift. LOG AND TRACK PRS Every set, every session, with personal records and progress that surface automatically. Save and reuse any workout. THEMES AND COLOR-BLIND SUPPORT Cobalt, Volt, and Forge themes in dark or light, plus a color-blind palette with distinct textures per plate.
