  • wilks points

    I have a quick question is 116 points on the wilks calculator for raw benching a good #? I am competing in a bench only contest in about 3 weeks and they are using the wilks point system instead of weight class I put up 425 fairly easy today at 225 bodyweight.

    I'm not very familiar with what a good score for just one lift is at all but I found this chart for all three lifts combined. Probably not very helpful for just bench but it is interesting.image.jpg

      My bench score last bench only competition I did was 126.3 it was a fairly small local contest but that landed me first place by a long shot so I would think 116 would be a good score bro.

        I'm going to assume that one third of the weight in the chart would be a fairly accurate measure for each lifts score though. I.e 116 would put you in the advanced category and that sounds right to me for your weight vs max. 425@225 is a strong lift.

                      closest was a guy who benched the same as me but he outweighed me by 40lb it was fun i haven't competed for a very long time and regardless if i won first or last it was awesome.
