About IPF GL Points Calculator

IPF GL points use an exponential rather than polynomial fit: 100 divided by (A - B e^(-C x body weight)). A 500 kg classic total at 90 kg scores about 66 GL points. The scale is set so that a world-record performance scores roughly 100, which makes the numbers immediately interpretable across weight classes and equipment divisions.

Formulas

GL coefficient

coeff = 100 / (A - B x e^(-C x body weight))

GL points

points = total x coefficient

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 5 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
  • This is an estimate from population-average equations, not a medical or diagnostic assessment. Individual results vary with genetics, training history and technique. Seek advice from a qualified coach or clinician before making significant changes to training.
  • This is an estimate for general information and not professional medical advice. See the full disclaimer for the limits that apply to this kind of calculator.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is 100 points significant?

The parameters were chosen so that a world-record total scores about 100, giving the scale an intuitive anchor.

Do equipped and classic scores compare?

Only within their own division. The parameter sets differ precisely because supportive equipment adds substantially to totals.
