DOTS comparison
*Target DOTS holds your current total constant for a mathematical comparison. It does not predict how weight loss will affect your actual strength or competition performance.
How to interpret your result
The required weekly pace describes the gap divided by your available weeks. It is not a recommended weight-loss rate. DOTS at target holds your total constant; the break-even total is the lifted total needed to match your current DOTS at that target bodyweight.
Federation classes use kilograms. Switching kg/lb converts your populated bodyweight and total fields; custom class limits always remain in kg. Presets are reference tables, so verify your age division and event rules.
DOTS comparison supports 40–210 kg for men and 40–150 kg for women. It is independent of the federation’s official award formula.
