What are Glossbrenner points?
Glossbrenner is one formula shared across WPC, AAPF, AWPC, WABDL and 100% RAW scoring. It combines two older relative-strength systems to rank totals across bodyweights.
How Glossbrenner is computed
Points = competition total in kilograms × coefficient. Below the heavyweight cutoffs, the coefficient is the mean of Schwartz for men or Malone for women and the original 1994 Wilks coefficient. At 153.05 kg for men and 106.3 kg for women, the Wilks half switches to the published linear tail.

Printed chart differences
Federation charts print rounded values at 0.05 kg steps. Their coefficients can differ from the analytic formula by up to about 0.0036 for women, or one to two points on a 500 kg total.
Masters age multipliers such as McCullough are not included on this page.

Glossbrenner beside current formulas
Glossbrenner uses the original 1994 Wilks curve, not Wilks 2020. DOTS and IPF GL use different modern curves, so compare trends within one formula rather than treating the point totals as equal scales.
