Calculate Your DOTS Score

What is DOTS?

DOTS (Deviation from Optimal Total Strength) is a modern coefficient system developed to replace Wilks. It provides a more accurate way to compare powerlifting performances across different weight classes and genders, addressing some limitations of the Wilks formula.

DOTS vs Wilks

DOTS uses updated data and improved mathematical modeling compared to Wilks. It provides better accuracy for extreme weight classes and has been adopted by many modern powerlifting federations as the standard for performance comparison.

DOTS Score Interpretation

  • 300-400: Beginner level
