GL points calculator

Work out your IPF GL points from your bodyweight and your result, so you can compare lifts across weight classes.

Sex
Event
Kit

Your weigh-in weight, for example 83.5. At least 40 kg for men and 35 kg for women.

Squat, bench press and deadlift added together.

Your IPF GL points

To see your score, add your sex, event, kit, bodyweight and result.

How it is worked out

GL points let you compare lifters of different bodyweights. Your points are your result multiplied by a coefficient that depends on your bodyweight, sex, event and kit:

Coefficient = 100 ÷ (A − B × e^(−C × bodyweight))
IPF GL points = coefficient × result

Here e is the base of the natural logarithm, and A, B and C are fixed numbers set by the IPF for each sex, event and kit. A result of 0 scores 0 points. Scores are shown to two decimal places.

The constants A, B and C

This calculator is a guide. Official results are worked out by the competition software. See also our plain-English guide to IPF GL points, or the official GL points calculator.
