Stop doing plate math between sets. Enter the weight you want, pick your bar and smallest plate, and we list the plates for each side.
Plan how much raw meat to buy and roughly how long the cook will take. Cook times are rough guides at 225–250°F; always cook to internal temperature, not the clock.

How it works
We subtract the bar weight, split the rest in half, then load the largest plates first. If your smallest plate cannot hit the exact number, we show the closest weight you can load.
Standard Olympic bars weigh 45 lb; many women's bars weigh 35 lb. Check your bar if you are not sure.
