    Hello Guys,

    I have been following starting strength and liked it a lot.

    I have a created a warm up calculator that works for Starting Strength.
    I just realized that there was an official application, for that from the SS team.

    This application besides the warm up have an integrated plater, so that you can know exactly what to put on the bar on each warm up.

    Also it barbell weights and plates are configurable.

    Here I leave the link in case you are interested.

    Hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

    Thanks.

    Promising, but:

    - Units (kg vs. lbs) should better be set in Settings.

    - Kg plater needs 1kg plates to be supported.

    - Plater needs an option to enter number of available plates. E.g., I only have 2 25kg plates, so suggestion to use 4 for 120kg is useless.

    - Support for sets of other than 5.

    - I doubt anyone will actually bother to load 48, 72, and 96 for a set of 120. I'd rather expect 50, 80, 100.

    Man, I work by whole increments of 10 and 20kg, keep it simple. If I have 140 kg as my work sets, I do my last warmup set on 130 kg and just subtract 20kg from there so I end up with 70, 90, 110, 130, 140. I only think the last warm-up set needs to be properly calibrated, before that, whole numbers work fine. And that last warmup set doesn't even have to be properly calibrated if it's only a single either, just in the rough 5-10% below area.
