Powerlifting Total Percentiles — 59 kg Wraps Men
The 59 kg class covers men weighing up to 59 kg (130 lb). These percentiles are computed from 2,364 raw with knee wraps competition results in the OpenPowerlifting database. Remember that everyone in this dataset trained hard enough to enter a meet, so the 20th percentile here is already well above the average gym-goer.

Novice = below the 20th percentile of competitors. Intermediate = 20th–50th. Advanced = 50th–80th. Elite = 80th–95th. World Class = top 5%. Percentiles are calculated on the best powerlifting total from each meet entry, so a lifter with ten meets appears ten times; this weights the data toward experienced competitors.
How to Improve Your Powerlifting Total
A total moves when the weakest lift moves. Compare your percentile on each individual lift in the same weight class — the lift furthest below your total's percentile is where the cheapest kilos are. Beyond that, totals grow with meet experience: lifters who bomb out or miss thirds leave 5–10% on the platform. Use the meet attempt selector to plan conservative openers and the peaking guide to arrive at the meet fresh.
