Use the Tools tab

The Tools tab holds quick calculators and planners. They work offline, and weights show in the unit you chose in Settings.

What is in there

Prep

• Warm-Up: a guided warm-up, using your own routine if you have written one.

Calculate

• Training %: working weights at each percentage of a lift, with the plates to load.
• Barbell Loader: shows which plates to put on the bar for a target weight.
• kg and lb: converts between the two.

Diagnose

• 1RM Estimator: estimates your one-rep max from a lighter set.
• Strength Ratios: compares your lifts against each other to show what is holding you back.

Compete

• Meet Day (Pro): a warm-up room and six-attempt board.

• Sinclair: a score that lets you compare totals across bodyweights.
• Robi Points: your total against the world record for your category.

Pro tools show a lock until you subscribe.

Load the bar

1. Open Barbell Loader.
2. Type your target weight, or use the stepper.
3. Choose your bar from the Bar menu.
4. Read the plate drawing and the per-side list.

The loader uses the plates in your default gym. To change them, go to Locker, then My Gyms. If the target is lighter than the bar, you will see a message saying so.

Tip

Opening a tool from a workout or a logged set can fill in the weight for you.

Estimate your one-rep max

1. Open 1RM Estimator.
2. Enter the weight you lifted.
3. Set the number of reps with the stepper (1 to 15).
4. Pick a formula from the Formula menu if you want a different one. The estimate and a table of percentages update straight away.
5. To keep the number, choose the lift and tap the button that sets it as your PR. You will be asked to confirm.

Estimates get less reliable as reps go up, so sets of five or fewer give the best guide.

Note

An estimated PR is only a starting point. It stays your PR, and programs keep loading from it, until you log a heavier single. A lift you make at a meet that is heavier than anything you have actually lifted is still saved as a competition PR, even when the estimate is higher. To let your real lifts take over from an estimate, delete it from the lift’s history in the PR Tracker.

Strength Ratios in a nutshell

Enter or load your lifts and the screen shows which ratios sit inside a healthy range and which one to work on first. Numbers you type over are treated as “what if”, and never count as real records.
