What Does This Profile Calculator Show?

The My Powerlifting Profile calculator gives you a complete competitive snapshot in a single view. Enter your squat, bench, and deadlift alongside your bodyweight and sex, and it calculates everything a powerlifter needs to understand their position in the sport: competition total, all three major scoring coefficients (Wilks, DOTS, IPF GL), lift proportions, bodyweight ratios, and where your Wilks places you on the competitive spectrum from beginner to world class.

Most calculators on this site focus on one metric at a time. This profile tool is designed for the lifter who wants the full picture: not just "what is my Wilks?" but how does it compare to DOTS, what is my deadlift as a percentage of my total, and how many kilograms am I from the next competitive milestone?

Understanding Your Coefficient Scores

Three coefficient formulas are shown because different federations and contexts use different standards:

  • Wilks - The most recognized formula in the sport. Used by USPA, RPS, IPA, APF, and dozens of international organizations. If someone says "I have a 300 Wilks" with no other context, this is the number they mean. A 300 Wilks is considered the competitive intermediate milestone - roughly where a raw lifter becomes a legitimate regional-level competitor.
  • DOTS - Developed in 2019 to address known biases in Wilks at extreme bodyweights. Produces similar results to Wilks in the 60-110kg range but is considered more equitable across the full spectrum. Growing in informal use and some federation adoption.
  • IPF GL (Goodlift Points) - The official IPF system since 2019. Uses an exponential curve calibrated to current world records, producing a score where 100 equals a world-record-level performance in your category. If you compete in the IPF, USAPL, or any IPF affiliate, this is the score that determines best lifter awards and qualification.

Lift Balance and the S/B/D Ratio

The breakdown panel shows each lift as a percentage of your total and as a ratio to bodyweight. These ratios are useful for identifying imbalances. A typical raw male lifter might pull around 38% of their total on the deadlift, squat around 35%, and bench around 27%. Significant deviations from this pattern indicate where to focus programming emphasis.

The bodyweight ratio is an accessible way to describe lift strength without scoring formulas. A 2x bodyweight squat, 1.5x bench, and 2.5x deadlift are commonly cited intermediate milestones for raw male lifters. For female lifters the absolute ratios differ but the relative balance across the three lifts follows similar patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Wilks score for a first-time competitor?

For a first competition, any Wilks score above 150 puts you in the intermediate tier and above the purely beginner range. Many first-time competitors score in the 180-250 range. A Wilks of 250+ means you will be a legitimate competitor at local meets rather than just finishing last. The real benchmark most serious lifters aim for is 300 Wilks, which typically takes 2-4 years of focused training to achieve from a beginner start.

Why is my DOTS score different from my Wilks score?

DOTS and Wilks use different polynomial equations to model the bodyweight-to-strength curve, so they produce different numbers. For most lifters in the 70-110kg range, the scores are within 5-10% of each other. The differences become larger at the extremes - very light lifters (under 60kg) tend to get higher Wilks scores than DOTS scores, while very heavy lifters (over 120kg) sometimes see slightly different results in either direction. Neither score is "wrong" - they just measure relative strength with different mathematical models.

Can I use my gym maxes instead of competition lifts?

Yes, this calculator accepts any numbers you enter. Keep in mind that gym 1RMs without competition standards (squat to depth, paused bench, deadlift lockout) are typically 5-15% higher than competition-legal numbers. If you use gym numbers, your resulting scores will be inflated compared to a true competition total. For the most useful benchmarking, use numbers you could hit at a meet with a referee watching.

What does the lift breakdown percentage mean?

Each lift's percentage shows what fraction of your total it contributes. Typical raw distributions for males are around 35% squat, 27% bench, 38% deadlift. For females the bench percentage tends to be lower and the deadlift higher. If your bench is 20% of your total, it is a significant weak point relative to your squat and deadlift. If your deadlift is 45%+, you have an unusually strong pull relative to your pressing and squatting - potentially worth focusing on the other lifts to balance your total.
