About Load That Bar
Load That Bar helps lifters quickly determine exactly what plates to load on each side of a barbell. Enter your target weight, choose your barbell type, and the app calculates a clear per-side loading guide with a visual plate layout. You can switch between pounds and kilograms, customize available plate sizes, and use Ladder Mode for multi-set progression planning. Version 1.1 is a top-to-bottom rebuild of how the app looks and feels, plus real new features: • Home Screen widget and Siri Shortcuts — see what to load without opening the app • Workout history — every set you calculate or log is saved, grouped by day • Multiple named gym profiles — switch between your home rack and the gym in one tap • A real light mode, full Dynamic Type, and VoiceOver support throughout • A proper iPad layout and a guided setup that actually asks about your plates Load That Bar is fast, simple, and built for practical gym use without accounts, subscriptions, or required setup.
