About the Wilks Calculator

The Wilks calculator compares powerlifting totals across body weights. It multiplies your total (squat + bench + deadlift) by a coefficient from a fifth-order polynomial of body weight, with separate coefficients for men and women. The IPF now uses newer formulas, but Wilks remains widely quoted.

How to use it

  1. 1Select your sex.
  2. 2Enter your body weight in kilograms.
  3. 3Enter your powerlifting total and press Calculate.

Worked example
