Men's Senior Weightlifting World Records

These are the current Men's weightlifting world records in the snatch, clean & jerk, and total, which is the sum of an athlete's best result in each discipline at a single competition.

For an athlete to officially claim a world record, he must lift at least one kilogram more than the "world standard"—a benchmark set by the IWF when new categories are established.
