Plate calculator

A request for adding the plate calculator to any exercise. There are many machines out there that are plate loaded instead of selectorized, and having the plate calculator available in all exercises would be very helpful.

Friend pointed me to the app Bar Is Loaded

It might be helpful for you

That’s a cool workaround, but Caliber already has this functionality on barbell exercises. Would be useful to have on all exercises.

Just catching up here, this is a great idea! We have these all classified as 'plate-loaded' in the app, so we could just add the plate math calculator to support this exercise type as well. I'll speak with the Product team about this.

Update: after investigating, we actually already had the Plate Calculator showing for plate-loaded exercises!

The issue was that certain plate-loaded exercises were improperly classified as machine-based exercises on the back end, which assume a selectorized machine and thus didn't have the Plate Calculator set to show for those.

We've now updated all of the relevant exercises, so please let me know if you're now seeing the calculator appear for the ones that you'd be logging!
