Introduction

Powerlifting and Olympic Lifting Log

Track your progress in the three 'Powerlifing' lifts: Back Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift and the two 'Olympic' lifts: Snatch and Clean & Jerk. Take a look under 'Your Stuff' (you'll need to be logged in to see this). You'll find where you can enter your lifts (power and/or Olympic) as well as where you can view your lift history.

You can choose whether to keep your lifting history private or allow anyone visiting the site to see it.

User Rankings

If you're keen to rank your lifts alongside those of other users, you can select a three-lift powerlifting set or a two-lift Olympic weightlifting set from your history to appear in the users' ranked lifts. The rankings are viewable by anyone, regardless of whether or not you choose to keep the rest of your lift history private.

You can sort all the lift tables in various ways by clicking on the name of the column you want sorted.

Weight Categories and Age Classes

You can filter a table by gender, weight category and age class. The standard weight categories and age classes are those used by major international lifting federations, including IPF and IWF.

Bodyweight- and Age-adjusted Scores

As well as total weight of the lifts, scores are calculated to allow for body weight and gender (Wilks for powerlifting, Sinclair for weightlifting). There's also an age-adjusted score to credit younger and older lifters. For example, the formulas for powerlifting are: Foster's coefficients for Juniors & Sub-juniors; Revised McCulloch's for Masters' lifters.

Entering Dates

Enter all dates in the order: day-month-year. Current year and month may be omitted, so 23 means the 23rd of this month. If you check what date is displayed before you click Confirm, you should be sweet!

Competitions

Admin users can set up competitions - fixing the name, dates and type of comp. Competitions are either 3-lift powerlifting or 2-lift Olympic. Additionally they can be 'Admin-run' or 'Self-run'. Admin-run comps are reffed and managed by Admins, while Self-run comps work on an honesty system, in that users perform and post their lifts to the site. Admin-run comps will normally be held on a single day; self-run ones over several days - allowing people to do their lifts in their own time. Click here to learn more about each type. Results of past comps can be viewed as well as the progress of any current ones.

Good luck with your training!
