Barbell Genie vs Barbell Tools

Barbell Genie works out what to load using the plates your gym actually has, not an imaginary complete set. MIXED KILOGRAM AND POUND PLATES A 20 kg bar with 45 lb plates is normal in a CrossFit gym and awkward to do in your head. Enter both units, get one correct total, and read it in whichever unit you think in. THE NEAREST WEIGHT YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUILD Ask for 205 lb and, if nothing lands on it, you get the closest load under and over, how far each one misses, and which plates would close the gap. Not a wrong answer presented confidently. YOUR GYM, ENTERED ONCE Plates and bars you own, counted as individual plates rather than pairs. Add anything off the standard list, including custom plates and custom bars. Keep a separate inventory for every gym you train at. BUILD A BAR BY HAND Tap or drag plates onto the bar and watch the total update. Take one off, clear it, or hand control back to the calculator. WORKS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-in. No network. It works in a basement with no reception because it never needed a connection. Nothing about your training leaves your phone, and nothing can. Built by Black Dragon Lab.

Stop doing mental plate math between sets. Prepare exact barbell loads built around the specific plates in your rack. Barbell Tools helps you calculate achievable plate setups, generate warm-up progressions, estimate 1RM, and run training timers. It stays focused on the work before and between sets, without bloated trackers, subscriptions, or complex workout programs. PLATE LOADING FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT • Create custom rack profiles with your specific bars, collars, and plate inventory. • Enter a target weight to immediately see the exact or nearest achievable load. • View visual plate arrangements per side and step smoothly between load increments. • Save frequently used loads to reconstruct them instantly anywhere. WARM-UP PROGRESSIONS • Build structured warm-up sets that progress toward your working weight. • Automatically adapt percentage stages to match the physical plates you have on hand. • See exactly what plates to add or remove at each transition, with the ability to skip or repeat stages. 1RM & TRAINING MAX CALCULATIONS • Estimate 1RM from 2–10 reps using Epley, Brzycki, or Lombardi formulas. • Run guided multi-set tests to find your true working max safely. • Calculate percentage-based loads from 50% to 100%. • Send any calculated weight straight into the plate calculator with one tap. INTERVAL & REST TIMERS • Built-in Rest, Interval, and EMOM timers, including a quick Tabata preset. • Stay focused with haptics, custom audio cues, local notifications, and screen keep-awake mode. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Optional tips support independent development without locking away any features.
