| Bar | Plates per side | Per side |
|---|---|---|
| Men's bar (20 kg) | 1 × 25 kg | 25 kg |
| Women's bar (15 kg) | 1 × 25 kg + 1 × 2.5 kg | 27.5 kg |
| Training bar (10 kg) | 1 × 25 kg + 1 × 5 kg | 30 kg |
70 kg = 154.3 lb. Kilo and pound plates are not interchangeable, so in a metric gym the exact equivalent weight usually cannot be loaded.
If this is a working weight, here is what it represents at a few common maxes.
| Your 1RM | % of 1RM |
|---|---|
| 100 kg | 70 % |
| 120 kg | 58 % |
| 140 kg | 50 % |
| 160 kg | 44 % |
| 180 kg | 39 % |
The app does this in both directions: enter a weight and get the plates, or tap the plates already on the bar and get the weight.
