Wilks and DOTS Calculator
Wilks and DOTS both scale a powerlifting total by body weight so lifters of different sizes can be compared. Enter yours to get both scores.
How to use
- Choose your sex.
- Enter your body weight on the day.
- Enter your three-lift total and read both scores.
Note
Wilks uses the original published polynomial coefficients; DOTS uses its published 2019 polynomial coefficients. Both are defined for typical competition body weights (roughly 40 to 150 kg) and are only meaningful for the full three-lift total. Estimate only — not medical advice.
