Wilk Coefficient Applied

WCAW=w500a+bx+cx2+dx3+ex4+fx5
(w)Weight lifted
(x)Weight of the Person
(g)Gender (Male/Female)

The Wilks Coefficient Applied calculator computes Wilks Coefficient formula value and applies it to Good Lift weight.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (w) Weight Lifted
  • (x) Weigh of Person
  • (g) Gender of Person

Wilks Coefficient Adjusted Weight (WCAW): The calculator returns the adjusted weight in kilograms.  However, this can be automatically converted to other weight units (e.g. pounds) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the Wilk's Coefficient applied to a weight lifted is:

    WCAW=500a+bx+cx2+dx3+ex4+fx5w

where:

  • WCAW = Wilks Coefficient Adjusted Weight
  • x = body weight of the lifter
  • w = weight lifted by the weight lifter
  • a,b,c,d,e,f = f(gender)

For men:

a = −216.0475144
b = 16.2606339
c = −0.002388645
d = −0.00113732
e = 7.01863E−06
f = −1.291E−08

For women:

a = 594.31747775582
b = −27.23842536447
c = 0.82112226871
d = −0.00930733913
e = 4.731582E−05
f = −9.054E−08
