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.
