How to Set Your Bar Weight
You set your bar weight like this:
- Open Stronglifts
- Tap Start workout
- Tap the weight of the exercise
- Scroll down to Bar Weight
The Stronglifts Plate Calculator uses your bar weight to determine how much weight to add on each side of the bar. The standard Olympic Barbell weighs 45lb or 20kg. So if the weight you have to lift is 225lb or 100kg, the Stronglifts Plate Calculator will suggest you add 90lb/side (40kg).
