Explanation

How Powerlifting score calculator works

All three methods relate the total to a body weight-dependent curve. The numbers of different methods are not directly scaled the same.

Practice

Practical examples

For illustration only – your own calculation is what counts.

Classic Total

A male Classic athlete weighs 83 kg and achieves a total of 600 kg.

Result: DOTS, Wilks 2 and IPF GL are calculated with their respective coefficients.

Equipped Total

An athlete starts equipped; only IPF GL requires this category.

Result: The score differences show the different normalization models.

Notes

Common mistakes

  1. Equate method values directly

    DOTS, Wilks 2 and IPF GL have different curves and scales.

    Compare athletes within the same formula version.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a powerlifting score say?

It statistically normalizes a total by body weight and, depending on the method, sex or equipment. It is not an objective overall assessment of a person.

Which Wilks version is used?

The calculator uses Wilks 2 from 2020 and explicitly labels it; the original Wilks formula is not reported as current.

Why does IPF GL need the Equipment category?

The official IPF-GL formula has separate coefficients for Classic and Equipped. DOTS and Wilks 2 do not use this input.

Limits

Limitations

  • Technique, age, level of training and competition conditions are not part of the scores.
