When the target can't be built

If your plates can't make the exact weight, ColdLoad shows the nearest lower and higher loads separately, and you pick one.

Reverse mode

Enter the plates already on the bar to get the total.

A limit for the bar

Set the bar's maximum total, bar and collars included, and calculations stay within it.

ColdLoad is a calculation tool. Check your equipment and its capacity before loading the bar.
