What is Wilks Score?
The Wilks score (also known as Wilks coefficient) is a formula used in powerlifting to compare the strength of lifters across different body weights. It allows fair comparison between athletes of different sizes.
The Wilks score is calculated by multiplying your total weight lifted (squat + bench press + deadlift) by a coefficient based on your body weight and gender. Higher scores indicate greater relative strength.
