What is a powerlifting total?

A powerlifting total is the sum of the best successful squat, bench press, and deadlift. Meet totals use lifts accepted under the rules of the relevant federation.

How is a powerlifting total calculated?

Add squat + bench press + deadlift in the same unit. A 405 lb squat, 275 lb bench, and 495 lb deadlift total 1,175 lb.

Does bodyweight affect a powerlifting total?

Bodyweight does not change the absolute total. DOTS, Classic Wilks, and IPF GL apply bodyweight- and category-specific coefficients so performances can be compared.

Raw vs equipped totals

Raw and equipped lifting are distinct competition categories. Compare like with like; the optional IPF GL result here uses classic/raw coefficients.

lb vs kg totals

The calculator converts with 1 kg = 2.2046226218 lb. Powerlifting meets normally record attempts and totals in kilograms.

Method note: Scoring coefficients follow the same shared implementation used by this site’s scoring calculators. See the IPF formula information.
