Current records
Key to tables: When the previous records and weight classes were discarded, the IWF defined "world standards" as the minimum lifts needed to qualify as world records in the new weight classes. Wherever World Standard appears in the list below, no qualified weightlifter has yet lifted these weights in a sanctioned competition. Records are based on the weight's mass, not weight; weight varies slightly based on where the record was set. Men Women ==Historical records==
