How to use Powerlifting GL Points Calculator
- Choose the coefficient category, equipment and event before entering the competition body weight and result.
- The report shows A, B, C, the denominator and the six-decimal coefficient used in multiplication.
- This page names the coefficient edition explicitly.
Worked example
For men’s classic three-lift scoring, A = 1199.72839, B = 1025.18162 and C = 0.00921. The coefficient is rounded to six decimals before multiplying the result.
Formula, accuracy & limitations
Coefficient = round(100/(A − B × exp(−C × bodyweight)),6). GL points = round(coefficient × result kg,6). Constants depend on scoring category, equipment and three-lift or bench event; the exact selected set is displayed.

These outputs use the stated model and your supplied inputs. A mathematically consistent model can still differ from personal measurements. Scenario curves and formula comparisons are not statistical confidence intervals.
Source and method context ↗Select the complete scoring category
Choose the coefficient category, equipment and event before entering the competition body weight and result. A bench-only coefficient must not be applied to a three-lift total. Units are kilograms throughout, and the supported body-mass range is deliberately restricted to 40–250 kg.
Inspect the coefficient and its rounding
The report shows A, B, C, the denominator and the six-decimal coefficient used in multiplication. This follows the rounding procedure in the linked 2020 document rather than multiplying with a hidden unlimited-precision coefficient. Small differences from other calculators can arise from that order.
Check your event’s actual rule version
This page names the coefficient edition explicitly. The source document has a printed validity period of 2020–2023, so the calculator does not claim to certify every current meet result. Organisers may use another formula, edition or additional rules that must be checked separately.
Keep event changes separate from strength changes
Changing from three-lift to bench-only scoring selects another A, B, C set because the competition result has a different meaning. The same kilogram number then produces a different coefficient and score, which is not evidence that the athlete became stronger. The audit table keeps the selected category, denominator and rounded coefficient visible. Use points to reproduce a named scoring convention, and use actual lift results when examining a change that should not depend on switching scoring systems.
Frequently asked questions
Does this estimate my one-rep maximum?
The input is an already achieved or chosen competition result. The tool converts that result to relative points; it does not estimate strength from repetitions.
Why round the coefficient first?
The published procedure specifies a six-decimal coefficient before multiplication. Using full precision until the end can produce a slightly different score.
Can I compare bench points with total points?
Different event coefficients normalise different competition results. Use the relevant event and rules rather than assuming all point totals are interchangeable.
Is this an official meet result?
It is an independent worksheet for the named coefficient set. Judging, eligibility and the event’s current scoring rules are outside the calculator.
