65 kg clean & jerk, men

What to remember

Gandhinagar, India, 13 May 2026: at the Asian Championships, He Yueji lifted 183 kg in the clean and jerk in the men's 65 kg class, setting the world record for the lift.

The clean and jerk is one of the two lifts of Olympic weightlifting, alongside the snatch; the two combined make the total. The International Weightlifting Federation tracks all three records in each weight class, but those classes have been reshaped on several occasions: the oldest change dates from 1993 and the latest from 2026, with others in 1998, 2018 and 2025. Each time the old records were nullified.
