Wilks Scores come from Australian powerlifter, Robert Wilks, and are calculated using a somewhat complicated formula that tries to take into account the non-linear effects that increased mass (your weight) have on strength while attempting to give you a linear score that is more easily interpretable and comparable to others. The only three factors that are used are your weight, your gender, and your overall lifting total in kilograms (bench press+deadlift+squat). You can follow this link to simplify the process. Afterwards, you can click one of the three links to different pages that will give you your workout and diet plan.
