Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wilks score used for?

The Wilks score normalizes total weight lifted against body weight, allowing fair strength comparisons between lifters of different sizes — it's the standard scoring method used to determine "best lifter" awards in powerlifting competitions.

What is considered a good Wilks score?

As a rough guide, scores around 300 are solid intermediate level, 400+ is advanced, and elite/professional powerlifters often score 450-550+, though this varies by gender and exact competition standards.

Has Wilks been replaced by a newer formula?

Some federations have adopted newer formulas (like the IPF GL Points or DOTS formula) which some consider more accurate across the full body weight range, but Wilks remains widely recognized and commonly referenced.
