Can agents run this deterministically?

Yes. Supply sex, bodyweight_kg, total_kg, and equipped as JSON to receive dots, wilks, gl scores and classifications deterministically.

How to use it

Enter your bodyweight, powerlifting total (squat + bench + deadlift), sex, and whether you competed raw or equipped. The calculator runs all three scoring systems simultaneously.
Read the comparison table showing DOTS, Wilks-2020, and Goodlift (GL) scores side by side with classification levels for each. The system that rates you highest is highlighted.
Check the individual score cards below for visual position charts. Each system uses different polynomial coefficients, so your ranking can differ significantly between them.
Use this to decide which federation's scoring system benefits your weight class. Lighter lifters often score better on DOTS; heavier lifters sometimes benefit from Wilks or GL.
Re-run after each training block or competition. A rising score across all three systems confirms genuine relative strength improvement — not just a favorable weight class shift.

Agent FAQ

Should ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent click through the UI?

No. Start with /agent-tools.json, then follow the tool's contract URL. The page UI is for human review, not parameter discovery.

When do tools show Quick and Advanced?

Every tool opens in Quick Start first. Advanced Controls keeps the same scenario, reveals more assumptions or diagnostics, and every tool keeps AI integrations inline below the instructions.

When should an agent still open the browser page?

Open it when a human wants to sense-check the output, review the chart, or keep exploring related tools after the calculation finishes.

Questions people usually ask

What is the difference between DOTS, Wilks, and GL?

DOTS (2019) is the current IPF formula, Wilks (2020 revision) is the legacy standard still used by many federations, and Goodlift (GL Points) is the newer IPF system that expresses scores as a percentage of world-record performance. Each uses different polynomial coefficients to normalize totals against bodyweight.

Which scoring system should I use?

Use whatever your federation requires for competition. For personal tracking, DOTS is the current IPF standard. This tool shows all three so you can see which one favors your weight class and total.

Why does GL Points give a different classification than DOTS?

GL Points scale differently — they represent performance as a percentage of a theoretical maximum, so the numerical ranges for each classification differ from DOTS and Wilks.

Does raw vs equipped matter?

Yes, for GL Points. The Goodlift formula uses different coefficients for raw and equipped lifting because equipped totals are systematically higher. DOTS and Wilks do not distinguish between raw and equipped.

Is this tool free and private?

Yes. All calculations run client-side in your browser. No data leaves your device.
