Data Sources
This app uses data from the OpenPowerlifting project to provide an accurate assessment of where lifters rank based on their strength. Using OpenPowerlifting’s CSV data, we gather extensive records on lifts across various weight classes and age brackets. To calculate percentiles, we apply cubic smooth interpolation, which allows us to estimate ranks precisely even between recorded data points. When you input your body weight (in kg) and your total, our calculator matches your stats against this interpolated dataset. This way, we can accurately position your lifting performance within a percentile relative to other lifters in your weight class and age group. https://www.openpowerlifting.org.
