That's more maffs than I can deal with for a gym spreadsheet - does it mean that in my diminuitive stature i'm shifting "more" that some monster that weighs twice what I do lifting 2x?

Yah, that's why they split classes by bodyweight in competition.
You can knock up an excel sheet to do it all for you and update as you track you weight gainz too

It’s just a way of ranking different sized athletes in competition in a way that’s more coherent than as a % of BW.
But also wilks is only really relevant when looking at in competition results. Or if you’re arguing with a pal who’s twice your size about who’s lifts are better.
It’s all made up and pointless, but we love to quantify shit.

It’s a bit more complex than just %BW
