This is the list of world records progression in men's weightlifting from 1993 and 1997. 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, nullifying earlier records and again in 1998 and 2018.
