§01What is
Understanding the Wilks Coefficient
The Wilks Coefficient computes Wilks from 2 inputs: bodyweight (kg), total lifted (kg). Powerlifting Wilks score.
Games and puzzles mix math with pattern-spotting. Whether it’s a lottery combination, a dice probability, or a game-theory decision, the numbers behind the fun are worth running properly.
The Wilks Coefficient sits in that toolkit — it powerlifting Wilks score. Enter your numbers above and the result updates instantly; every step of the math is shown in the Derivation panel so you can see exactly how the answer was reached.
Apply the formula to a realistic set of inputs: Bodyweight (kg) = 80, Total lifted (kg) = 500.
01Start by noting the input — Bodyweight (kg): 80.
02Start by noting the input — Total lifted (kg): 500.
03Substitute these values into the formula: 500 × e.lifted / (16.2606339 × t-216.0475144-.002388645 × t²)
04Compute Wilks: the calculator returns 233.751.
05Cross-check the answer by opening the Derivation panel above — every line of math is shown so you can follow the computation end-to-end.

Common Wilks Coefficient Problems
The formula gets rearranged depending on which variable you need. Here are the patterns you’ll run into in the real world — find the one that matches your problem and follow the worked steps.
01 · PATTERN
Bodyweight (kg) halved
bw = 40 (from 80)
Keep every other input at its default and halve the bodyweight (kg). See how wilks responds.
01New Bodyweight (kg): 40
02Baseline Wilks: 233.751
03New Wilks: 580.645
04Wilks increases by 148.4% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
02 · PATTERN
Bodyweight (kg) doubled
bw = 160 (from 80)
Keep every other input at its default and double the bodyweight (kg). See how wilks responds.
01New Bodyweight (kg): 160
02Baseline Wilks: 233.751
03New Wilks: 107.55
04Wilks decreases by 54% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
03 · PATTERN
Total lifted (kg) halved
lifted = 250 (from 500)
Keep every other input at its default and halve the total lifted (kg). See how wilks responds.
01New Total lifted (kg): 250
02Baseline Wilks: 233.751
03New Wilks: 116.875
04Wilks decreases by 50% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
04 · PATTERN
Total lifted (kg) doubled
lifted = 1000 (from 500)
Keep every other input at its default and double the total lifted (kg). See how wilks responds.
01New Total lifted (kg): 1000
02Baseline Wilks: 233.751
03New Wilks: 467.501
04Wilks increases by 100% → use this sensitivity to plan for real-world variation.
