Powerlifting Total Percentiles — 76 kg Equipped Women
The 76 kg class covers women weighing 69–76 kg (152–168 lb). These percentiles are computed from 33,472 equipped (single-ply or multi-ply suits and bench shirts) 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.
