Classic 1997 formula by Robert Wilks
Enter weigh-in body mass and the total of best successful squat, bench press and deadlift in kilograms. Uses DOTS, classic Wilks and IPF GL 2020 coefficients for classic powerlifting.
The formulas provide different comparative scores, not a universal athlete rank. This IPF GL model is not for bench-only or equipped powerlifting. Compare the same disciplines; age adjustments are not included. DOTS limits the coefficient weight to 40–210 kg for men and 40–150 kg for women; outside the range the boundary weight is used.

How it is calculated
Enter weigh-in body mass and the total of best successful squat, bench press and deadlift in kilograms. Uses DOTS, classic Wilks and IPF GL 2020 coefficients for classic powerlifting. DOTS limits the coefficient weight to 40–210 kg for men and 40–150 kg for women; outside the range the boundary weight is used.
Formula
DOTS: Coefficient = 500 / (A×Weight^4 + B×Weight^3 + C×Weight^2 + D×Weight + E); Points = Total (kg) × Coefficient; IPF GL Points: 100 × Total / (A − B × e^(−C × Weight)); Wilks: 5th-order polynomial.
Limits of the method
The formulas provide different comparative scores, not a universal athlete rank. This IPF GL model is not for bench-only or equipped powerlifting. Compare the same disciplines; age adjustments are not included.
