Powerlifting Coefficient (DOTS / IPF GL) Calculator

Compare a powerlifting total across four strength coefficient systems side by side: DOTS, Wilks (1994), IPF GL Points and Goodlift. Enter sex, body weight and three-lift total (squat + bench + deadlift) in kg or lb, and see each formula's points, coefficient, relative-strength tier and a progress bar showing how close the total is to each system's elite threshold. Complements the existing Wilks calculator by adding DOTS and IPF GL rather than replacing it.
