Looking at Sinclairs calculation
This table shows some of the best results in the world during the last years.
In the Sinclair coloumn the results are between 474 and 484.
Lasha Talakhadze, the weightlifter with the highest total gets a lower Sinclair-level then all the others. In my opinion the 473 kg total is the ultimate world top result and there is no reason it should be considered to a lower value than any of the others along the top line of these results.
Hui Liao in the 69 category has 484 Sinclair points and I find it wrong that his result is calculated as better then the others along the top line of weightlifters.

A very simple idea
Inspired by this unfairness I have made an alternative with a very simple linear method. A simple method is also important while only special educated persons are able to understand Sinclairs method based on Least Squares and regression.
The basic idea of the linear method started when i made a x/y plot of all the results in my local club. (bodyweight/total)
This photo illustrates the idea of using straight lines between the top results. You may plot all the results in the world, but only a few will touch the thread and carry the weight of the two discs.
Compared two real results this plot shows one heavier lifter (right-most nail) with a lower total than Lasha Talakhadze. He will offcourse not reach a top level off 1000 points wich stops at the highest peak of the thread.
On the left side it's posible to define a starting bodyweight at 56 kg or probably plot any result that exists among the smallest persons to see how the line goes on the top of these results.

Calculation
The calculation may be very simple as shown in an example:
bodyw tot Name
84.69 394 Rybakov Andrei
We will have to know the two top level results that surrounds bodyweight 84.69 kg.
The top level (1000) results are listed on top of this page.
The surrounding results are:
bodyw tot
78.65 387 Perepetchenov, Russian GP, 2003.09.27
93.52 418 Ilya Ilyin, London 2012
|
a = 93.52-78.65 = 14.87
b = 418-387 = 31
|
|
c = 84.69-78.65 = 6.04
d = c * b/a = 12.59
LineLevel = 387 + d = 399.59
Rybakov = 1000* 394 / 399.59 = 986
