FAQs
1. What is a powerlifting total?
A powerlifting total is the sum of your best successful squat, bench press, and deadlift attempts from one session or meet.
2. Why is my total showing as invalid?
The calculator requires at least one successful attempt in each of the three competition lifts. If one lift has no successful attempt, a meet total cannot be recorded.
3. Can I use pounds instead of kilograms?
Yes. Select pounds as the working unit, and the calculator will also show your converted total in kilograms for quick comparison.
4. Does the calculator estimate attempt selection?
It does not predict future attempts automatically. It evaluates the successful attempts you enter and summarizes your current best total and lift balance.
5. What does bodyweight ratio mean?
Bodyweight ratio compares your total to your bodyweight. A higher number means you lift more total weight relative to your size.
6. Why track lift share percentages?
Lift share percentages show how much each lift contributes to your total. They help identify whether squat, bench, or deadlift needs more training focus.
7. Can I use this outside competitions?
Yes. It works well for gym testing days, training blocks, peaking cycles, and mock meets when you want a structured total summary.
8. What do the CSV and PDF exports include?
The exports include the main result fields, such as best lifts, total, ratio, lift shares, strongest lift, weakest lift, and any notes entered.
