Assumptions and limitations
Loading is symmetric using 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 2.5 and 1.25 kg plates. Your actual inventory is not tracked; targets that cannot be matched exactly are indicated.
The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.
