Wilks Calculator
Compare powerlifting totals across bodyweights.
The Wilks score normalizes powerlifting totals so lifters of different bodyweights can be compared.
The math behind it
Wilks = (500 ÷ a 5th-order polynomial of bodyweight) × total lifted, with sex-specific coefficients.
Worked example
80 kg male, 500 kg total → ~330 Wilks.
FAQ
Higher better?
Yes — a higher Wilks means a stronger relative total.
