Any! Local meets welcome all levels. To be competitive: 300+ at local, 350+ at regionals, 400+ at nationals, 450+ for international consideration.
What's an impressive Wilks for natural lifters?

400+ is impressive natural. 450+ is elite. Very few natural lifters crack 500. Claims of 500+ without PED testing should be viewed skeptically.

Wilks doesn't account for age. Masters lifters (40+) may use age-adjusted formulas in masters divisions. Standard Wilks compares you to open competitors.
How does my Wilks compare to my gym total?

Check your Wilks against classification standards. Example: At 83kg, a 500kg total = ~348 Wilks. At 120kg, the same 500kg total = ~280 Wilks.
Should I gain or lose weight for better Wilks?
▼
It depends. If gaining weight increases your total proportionally more than your bodyweight increase, gain. Track trends to find your optimal weight class.
