What's your Wilkes' formula total?

Scroll to see replies

Weight: 76 kg

Squat: 150 kg
Bench: 80 kg
Deadlift: 190 kg

Total: 420 kg

Wilkes' total: 296.6

Atm my squat is probably at 160 (testing this week), bench at 85 and deadlift at 200, in which case my score would be 314.2

People at my gym have 205/160/260 lifts in the same 83kg class.

Not sure on wilks but about 400?

Pts, Northampton have a comp coming up in Powerlifting in Oct or Nov I think. That a good location?

Slightly relevant - are shoes mandatory for deadlifting in meets? As my trainers have a soft sole I just deadlift in socks but wonder whether there are regulations on that as no shoes is kinda like lifting from 1cm blocks or so.

I want to say we should have a wilks table with everyone's scores so we can try to catch folks but no way can I be arsed doing/maintaining it and I'm not sure if it wouldn't just full of get e-stats and calculated maxes.

We used to do this in the OP of the MBSFM a year or 3 ago but we could never be bothered.

I was just me at like 70kg hassling people with my very crap lifts but only mediumly crap WILKS and slowly catching them.

I think Wilks should be superseded by a better formula. It tends to favour heavier lifters and doesn't really have any physiological basis as it's just a polynomial fit of some lifters once upon a time.

God, I've been awful at keeping up with quotes :colondollar:

I squatted 122.5kg, benched 70kg and pulled a very mediocre 122.5kg at 84kg. I've another meet this weekend and have only trained three times since the last meet, FGS.

I did 115 for 12 today, no idea how was feeling pretty good I guess. I used Wendlers formula to calculate 1RM as your link only goes to 10 reps. But I used Wendlers for my previous figures and recent figures so it's consistent.

This weeks all about trying to hit PRs so will be able to give a more accurate figure at the end of the week. Got bench on thursday and squat friday.

I'm liking this 5/3/1 programme.

The higher the reps the less accurate the 1RM calculator.

I would not trust anything from more than 5 reps tbh and even then it varies form person to person

Weight used: 160kg Reps : 13 = 1 Rep Max: 229

:ahee:

Best i've pulled is 200. I've done 220 form 17 inches...
