Wilks Calculator
Calculate your strength relative to your body weight using the Wilks formula.
What is the Wilks Calculator & How does it work?
The Wilks Coefficient is a statistical method used in powerlifting and strongman competitions to compare lifting performances across different weights. It standardizes raw lift totals by taking into account an athlete’s bodyweight, allowing for fair comparisons between competitors of varying sizes.
W = \frac{L}{(500 + a_1w^{p_1} + a_2w^{p_2} + a_3w^{p_3} + a_4w^{p_4} + a_5w^{p_5} + a_6w^{p_6})}
W = Wilks Coefficient, L = Total Lifted Weight, w = Bodyweight, a_i, p_i = Gender-specific coefficients.
The formula uses gender-specific coefficients to adjust for differences in strength between men and women. This makes it a valuable tool for athletes looking to optimize their performance relative to their body weight.
