The 140 kg+ class in the data
Of the 87,438 raw men's powerlifting total entries behind these standards, 6,218 — about 7.1% — come from the 140 kg+ class. As the open class it has no upper weight limit, so it collects the field's heaviest entries and its biggest absolute numbers.
Stepping up from the 120 kg class raises the median powerlifting total by 15 kg (35 lb) (+2%).
Taken at the 140 kg reference weight, the median is 4.59× bodyweight, against 6.67× in the 66 kg class — the flip side of carrying the field's biggest absolute numbers.
The three single-lift medians in this class sum to 648.1 kg, while the median total is 642.5 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.
