Strength Level Calculator

How to Use the Strength Level Calculator

Step 1: Select Your Gender

Begin by selecting your gender from the provided options. This choice is crucial because it determines the calculation method for the Wilks Score, which varies between males and females.

Step 2: Enter Your Body Weight

Proceed by entering your body weight in kilograms. Ensure that the value falls between 30 kg and 300 kg, adhering to the specified input constraints. This input is necessary for calculating all result fields, including the Wilks Score and the Strength-to-Weight Ratio.

Step 3: Input Your Bench Press 1RM

Enter your one-rep max (1RM) for the bench press in kilograms. The input should be a positive number not exceeding 500 kg, following a step increment of 0.5 kg. This data, along with the squat and deadlift values, contributes to your total weight lifted and other calculations.

Step 4: Input Your Squat 1RM

Similar to the bench press, input your 1RM for the squat. Ensure the figure provided aligns with the required range of 0 kg to 500 kg, with increments of 0.5 kg. Accurate input here further refines your total weight lifted.

Step 5: Input Your Deadlift 1RM

Finally, provide your deadlift 1RM. This input follows the same guidelines as the previous lift exercises, ranging from a minimum of 0 kg to a maximum of 500 kg. The deadlift figure completes your input data set for accurate calculations.

Understanding Your Results

Wilks Score:

This score is calculated based on your total lifted weight and your body weight, adjusted for gender. It provides a measure of strength relative to body size. The result is formatted to two decimal points for precision.

Strength Level:

The calculator then interprets your Wilks Score into a Strength Level category. The ranges are defined as follows:

• Beginner: Wilks Score less than 200
• Novice: Wilks Score less than 300
• Intermediate: Wilks Score less than 400
• Advanced: Wilks Score less than 500
• Elite: Wilks Score 500 and above

Total Weight Lifted:

This result is the sum of your bench press, squat, and deadlift 1RM values, providing a quick overview of your total lifting capability. The value is rounded to one decimal place and presented with a ‘kg’ suffix.

Strength-to-Weight Ratio:

This calculation divides your total lifted weight by your body weight, offering insight into your lifting efficiency relative to your size. The output is presented with two decimal points for clarity.
