Answer key: Powerlifting Score worksheet

  1. 1. DOTS points: 425.07

    1. Plug your body weight into the DOTS curve, a sum of fixed numbers times powers of body weight

      −307.75076+24.0900756×125+−0.1918759221×1252+0.0007391293×1253+−0.000001093×1254=882.213618
    2. Divide 500 by that number to get your multiplier

      500882.213618=0.56675616
    3. Multiply your lift by the multiplier to get your points

      0.56675616×750 kg=425.067118
  2. 2. DOTS points: 421.67

    1. Plug your body weight into the DOTS curve, a sum of fixed numbers times powers of body weight

      −307.75076+24.0900756×68+−0.1918759221×682+0.0007391293×683+−0.000001093×684=652.176177
    2. Divide 500 by that number to get your multiplier

      500652.176177=0.76666401
    3. Multiply your lift by the multiplier to get your points

      0.76666401×550 kg=421.665203
  3. 3. IPF GL points: 106.82

    1. Work out the bottom of the fraction from your body weight. A, B and C are fixed IPF numbers for men's classic powerlifting (A = 1199.72839, B = 1025.18162, C = 0.00921)

      1,199.72839−1,025.18162×e−0.00921×95=772.347741
    2. Divide 100 by that number to get your multiplier. The IPF rounds it to 6 decimals

      100772.347741=0.129475
    3. Multiply your lift by the multiplier to get your points

    2. Divide 500 by that number to get your multiplier

      500849.627467=0.58849322
    3. Multiply your lift by the multiplier to get your points

      0.58849322×560 kg=329.556201

      221.82209−357.00377×e−0.02937×120=211.301373
    2. Divide 100 by that number to get your multiplier. The IPF rounds it to 6 decimals

      100211.301373=0.473258
    3. Multiply your lift by the multiplier to get your points

      0.473258×600 kg=283.9548
  7. 7. Wilks points: 707.7

    1. Plug your body weight into the Wilks curve, a sum of fixed numbers times powers of body weight

      594.3174777558+−27.2384253645×100+0.82112226871×1002+−0.00930733913×1003+0.00004731582×1004+−0.00000009054×1005=600.540498
