This is the list of world records progression in men's weightlifting . Records are maintained in each weight class for the snatch lift, clean and jerk lift, and the total for both lifts.
The International Weightlifting Federation restructured its weight classes in 1993, 1998 and 2018, nullifying earlier records. In the 102kg category no weightlifter has yet surpassed the "World standard" specified as the minimum acceptable new record after the former records were discarded.
