Wilks Score Formula
Wilks = Total × Wilks Coefficient
The Wilks Coefficient is based on bodyweight and gender.
It allows for fair comparison between lifters of different sizes.
Example Calculation
Example: Intermediate Lifter
Bodyweight: 180 lbs
Bench Press: 225 lbs
Squat: 315 lbs
Deadlift: 405 lbs
Calculation:
Total = 225 + 315 + 405 = 945 lbs
Strength/BW Ratio = 945 / 180 = 5.25x
Wilks Score ≈ 104.3
Level: Intermediate
