Powerlifting Total Percentiles — 76 kg Raw Women
The 76 kg class covers women weighing 69–76 kg (152–168 lb). These percentiles are computed from 69,784 raw (belt, sleeves, and wrist wraps only — no knee wraps, no supportive suits or 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.
| Percentile | Lbs | Kg | Band |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5th percentile | 468 lb | 212.5 kg | Novice |
| 10th percentile | 518 lb | 235 kg | Novice |

| 30th percentile | 628 lb | 285 kg | Intermediate |
| 40th percentile | 667 lb | 302.5 kg | Intermediate |
| 50th percentile | 705 lb | 320 kg | Advanced |
| 60th percentile | 744 lb | 337.5 kg | Advanced |

| 97.5th percentile | 1,036 lb | 470 kg | World Class |
| 99th percentile | 1,110 lb | 503.5 kg | World Class |
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.
