About the Wilks Formula

The Wilks Coefficient is a formula used in powerlifting to compare lifters of different bodyweights on a level playing field. It was developed by Robert Wilks and has been the standard in competitive powerlifting for decades.

How it works:

Your total (squat + bench + deadlift) is multiplied by a coefficient based on your bodyweight and gender. This allows a 60kg lifter to be fairly compared against a 120kg lifter.

Wilks vs Wilks 2:

Wilks 2 (also called Wilks 2020) is an updated formula that better accounts for modern powerlifting data. Some federations have switched to Wilks 2, while others still use the original.
