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.
