HOW IS THE WINNER DETERMINED?  

Winners will be determined as the most improved from pre and post testing *

  1. You’ll be tested on a 5RM (how much you can lift for 5 repetitions) on the Squat; Deadlift and Bench Press and using the Wilks Formula this will enable you to be compared against people of various weights and gender. See this link for more information on the Wilks Formula https://powerliftingaustralia.com/wilks-formula/

 

The total of your three (3) lifts (in kgs) will be added together at pre and post assessment and the total difference in “Wilks” points will be determined.

 

You are awarded 2 points for every point increase eg.

Your Wilks Formula was 234.06

Your Post Wilks Formula was 203.22

= 30.84 difference x 2

= 61.68

You’ll have your Body Metrics tested using the EVOLT Body Composition machine, and you’ll be awarded points for increases in your skeletal muscle mass (kg) relative to your body weight based on percentage increase. Eg

Your SMM was 26.8kg and you weigh 65kg (41.2%)

Your SMM was 28.4kg and you weigh 65.9kg (43.1%)

Your SMM % increase = 1.9 %

You are awarded 2 points every 0.1% increase = 38 points

TOTAL – 99.68
