Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Lift Calculator

Step 1: Enter General Information

Begin by filling out the necessary general information. This will include your gender and body weight. Both fields are required and play a crucial role in calculating your results.

  • Gender: Select your gender by choosing between the options “Male” or “Female”.
  • Body Weight (kg): Enter your current body weight in kilograms. Ensure it is within the specified range of 30 to 300 kg, using increments of 0.1 kg if necessary.

Step 2: Specify Your Experience Level

Next, you will need to specify your experience level. This helps determine the context of your lifting performance.

  • Select your experience level from the options provided: “Beginner (0-1 year)”, “Intermediate (1-3 years)”, or “Advanced (3+ years)”.

Step 3: Input Your Lifting Stats

Provide information on your current one-rep max (1RM) for the following lifts:

  • Bench Press 1RM (kg): Enter your maximum bench press in kilograms. Ensure that the value is between 0 and 500 kg, with possible increments of 0.5 kg.
  • Squat 1RM (kg): Enter your maximum squat in kilograms. It should also be within the range of 0 to 500 kg, adjusted at increments of 0.5 kg.
  • Deadlift 1RM (kg): Enter your maximum deadlift in kilograms, following the same rules as above for range and increment.

Step 4: Review Your Results

Once all inputs are accurately provided, the calculator will generate the following results:

  • Total Strength Score: This score is calculated by summing your bench press, squat, and deadlift values. The result is presented in kilograms, formatted to one decimal place.
  • Wilks Score: A more complex calculation that accounts for gender and weight to provide a relative measure of strength. The score is displayed with two decimal places.
  • Strength Level: Based on the Wilks Score, your strength level will be categorized as “Novice”, “Intermediate”, “Advanced”, “Elite”, or “World Class”.
  • Bench Press to Body Weight Ratio: This is the ratio of your bench press 1RM to your body weight, formatted to two decimal places.
  • Squat to Body Weight Ratio: Similar to the bench press ratio, this reflects your squat 1RM relative to your body weight.
  • Deadlift to Body Weight Ratio: Represents your deadlift 1RM as a ratio of your body weight, formatted to two decimal places.

Use this detailed breakdown of your lifting performance to track progress and set new personal goals.
