Cut him some slack, he is an american Member 311, 1751 posts	i have read about some East German shotputters doing high 200's in the BNJ and i wouldn't be surprised if those numbers were excelled by the SHW from the 80's

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6843 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250 637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	I read an interview with Nicu Vlad (Olympic and World Champion, and world record holder (200.5 snatch at 100 BW), and now a high ranking official in the IWF, and so probably as reliable a source as you can get, and he said he had seen Yuri Zacharevich (110 Russian lifter) jerk 300k from racks, so i would assume the the big Russian boys of the day (Taranenko, Kurlovich, Pisarenko etc) will have been jerking in excess of 300, shame YouTube wasnt around at the time

Jerking it beggers belief

I wish there were videos of those lifts (assuming they did of course happen) I dont have a scrap of doubt that these types of lifts happened. We are currently seeing videos of 105 lifters attempting 214 snatches from blocks, and cleaning 235 for two before jerking it. Superheavies jerking 270 from behind neck and push pressing 235 etc. In an era where 210 snatches and 250 jerks are pretty rare. God only knows what training lifts were being achieved in an era where 210+ snatches and 260+ clean and jerks were almost commonplace.

Makes you wonder, in most sports the standard continues to rise, but this has not been so much the case in WL. Any thoughts on why?

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	I'd like to know what Blagoev has snatched in training!

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	There's a larger question here too - Don Reinhoult still has the all time record for most weight lifted in the powerlifts From what I understand, big Don was lifting in his cellar with a rack, a bench and some dumbells It does make you think what kind of difference all the modern techniques, nutrition, drugs and everything else that goes in the kit bag of the modern lifter really make.

I wonder how much testing contributes to the big differences we now see between training and competition lifts and whether in the past when the testing was perhaps less effective lifters had a smaller difference between training and competition

For example sprinters can get better surfaces to sprint on or better running shoes. 3) Olympic lifting isn't exactly a mass participation sport, even in the countries which are good at it. Hence, your not going to see such leaps and bounds forwards in records. 1) Agreed - increased doping control has had a marked, and probably the biggest, effect. 2) Agreed - basic equipment has been pretty much unchanged for decades, although technique has advanced in some areas particularly in the snatch. 3) Not sure, i remember reading that the Russian Weightlifting Federatation had 1,000,000 members which is pretty big, plus the likes of China have sports schools were children are selected for a chosen sport at an early age, so there has been some pretty serious effort made in some large parts of the World to advance the sport.
