DOTS & Wilks Calculator (Powerlifting Score)
Compare lifting performance relative to your bodyweight using the modern DOTS coefficient, classic Wilks formula, and standard IPF GL points.
Calculate Your Relative Strength Score
Enter your body weight, lifting total (Squat + Bench + Deadlift), and gender to calculate your scores.

The Mathematics of Relative Strength
Lifting coefficients are designed to neutralize the physiological advantage that larger athletes possess in absolute force production. Because muscle cross-sectional area scales as a squared dimension (2D) while bodyweight scales as a cubic dimension (3D), absolute strength ratios (total/bodyweight) naturally favor lighter lifters. Polynomial formulas like DOTS and Wilks correct this scaling disparity, allowing a 60kg athlete lifting 400kg to compete fairly with a 110kg athlete lifting 700kg.
