Load the bar.

Type the total you want. The loader does the per-side math, picks the plates, and draws the bar so you can check it before you lift.

Check the bar and collars before you lift. Read the number on every plate — bumper plates are not heavier than iron.

The iron is on the floor.

Racks, benches, iron and bumper plates, dumbbells to 150 lb, and a functional area for the rest of the work.

Start with a set you own, get a working max, then use this loader to put the right plates on the bar.

The best plate math in the world does not fix a bar with one side loaded. Count both sides, use the collars, and put the plates back.

Estimates only — check the bar and collars before you lift.
