Total, body-weight multiple and IPF GL

IPF GL
Only attempts marked as good lifts contribute; full power requires one successful result in every lift.

IPF GL = result kg × 100 ÷ (A − B × e^(−C × body weight kg))

Valid result535 kg
IPF GL points74.285
Body-weight multiple6.48×

How to use this calculator

  1. 1Choose category and event.
  2. 2Enter body weight and three attempts.
  3. 3Mark outcomes and review score.

Formula

coefficient = 100 ÷ (A − B × e^(−C × body weight kg)); points = coefficient × result kg

Coefficients come from the official IPF GL table.

Calculation steps

  • Convert pounds to kilograms when necessary.
  • Select best successful relevant attempts.
  • Apply the six-decimal coefficient.

Worked example

190 kg squat, 120 kg bench and 225 kg deadlift produce a 535 kg total.

Assumptions

  • The user records official outcomes.
  • All required lifts need a success.
  • Official rules may update.
  • Weight classes and records are outside scope.
