Wilks Score Calculator

Our Wilks Score Calculator compares strength relative to body weight. Here's how to use it:

Step 1: Select your gender (male/female).

Step 2: Enter your body weight in kg or lbs.

Step 3: Choose input method: enter total directly, or input individual lifts (squat, bench, deadlift).

Step 4: Click 'Calculate' to see: - Your Wilks Score (traditional standard) - Your DOTS Score (newer formula) - Performance category - Score benchmarks

Wilks Formula: Wilks Score = Total Lifted (kg) × Wilks Coefficient

Wilks Coefficient = 500 / (a + bx + cx² + dx³ + e⁴ + fx⁵) Where x = body weight in kg, and a-f are gender-specific constants.

DOTS Formula: DOTS Score = Total Lifted (kg) × DOTS Coefficient

DOTS uses a 4th-degree polynomial and is considered more balanced across weight classes.
