Calculateur de Score Wilks — Formule
## How the Wilks Score Works
The Wilks coefficient normalizes powerlifting totals across body weights, allowing fair comparison between lifters of different sizes.
### Formula
**Wilks Score = Total (kg) x Wilks Coefficient**
The coefficient is derived from a 5th-degree polynomial fitted to world-class performance data.
### Interpretation
- **300+**: Competitive local/regional
- **400+**: National level
- **450+**: Elite
- **500+**: World class

Exemple Résolu
An 82 kg male lifter with a 500 kg powerlifting total.
- Apply the Wilks polynomial for male at 82 kg
- Wilks coefficient is approximately 0.679
- Wilks score = 500 * 0.679 = 339.5
- This is a competitive recreational-to-regional level score
