How the score works

Wilks and DOTS normalize a powerlifting total against bodyweight and sex. The score is useful for meet comparisons, but it is not a full model of training age, equipment, or federation rules.

Questions lifters ask

What does the score compare? +

It compares powerlifting totals across bodyweights and sex. It is useful for meet rankings and rough comparisons, not for judging training quality.

Should I enter pounds or kilograms? +

Either works. The calculator normalizes inputs to kilograms before scoring.
