The 76 kg class in the data
Of the 48,538 raw women's powerlifting total entries behind these standards, 7,595 — about 16% — come from the 76 kg class.
Stepping up from the 69 kg class raises the median powerlifting total by 11.5 kg (25 lb) (+4%); the next step to 84 kg adds another 2.5 kg (5 lb) (+1%).
In relative terms the median works out to 4.38× bodyweight, down from the field's per-kilo peak of 5.04× at 57 kg — the sub-linear scaling that makes the percentile, not the raw kilos, the honest comparison.
The three single-lift medians in this class sum to 332.5 kg, while the median total is 332.5 kg. The two are close but not identical — the total field is its own population, and you cannot add three single-lift medians to get the median total.
The total is squat + bench + deadlift from a sanctioned raw full-power meet. Comparing totals across bodyweights isn't apples-to-apples — a heavier lifter totals more in absolute terms — so federations score across weight classes with coefficients (DOTS, IPF GoodLift). The percentile column here already normalises for bodyweight within each class.
