Working out at 5am and not completely awake yet? Or, out of breath after a 10-rep back squat set? When it comes to calculating the number of barbell plates that you need for your workout, my lifting partner will do the math for you when you're not up for it. Give it a shot!
"Alexa, ask my lifting partner what plates I need to lift 155 pounds." Alexa: "To lift 155 pounds, add one 45 pound plate and one 10 pound plate to each side of the barbell."
My Lifting Partner assumes a 45 pound bar and that the following plates are available: 45 lb., 35 lb., 25 lb., 15 lb., 10 lb., 5 lb., 2.5 lb., and 1.25 lb.
