Wilks Score Female
Calculator

It adjusts a female lifter's total (squat, bench, deadlift) for body weight using coefficients fitted specifically to women's strength data, enabling fair comparison across weight classes. A higher score means greater strength relative to body weight.

Using the male formula on a female total would misrepresent relative strength, since body composition and the total-to-bodyweight relationship differ by sex. The female Wilks coefficients were derived from a female competition dataset to correct for this.

As your body weight changes, comparing raw totals alone can be misleading, but Wilks lets you see whether your relative strength genuinely improved even if you gained or lost weight. A rising Wilks score confirms real strength gains beyond just moving more absolute weight.

Many federations now use DOTS or IPF GL Points instead, which were built on more current data, though Wilks remains widely recognized and still used by some organizations. Check your specific federation's current scoring system for official meet rankings.

Competitive female lifters often score 300-400, and elite/international-level lifters frequently exceed 450-500. These ranges shift somewhat by weight class, so use them as general context rather than a fixed target.
