        Snatch 187.5 kg

        Aleskey Petrov

When was it set?

My favorite world record Is Pyrros’ Dimas snatch at 180.5 kg set in July 26 1996 in the Atlanta Olympic Games.

I am fascinated by this world record because I admire this man for lifting weights also, because I myself lift weights as well.

I would be honored to be able to break a weightlifting world record. That would be a goal truly worth achieving due to the fact that I lift pretty heavy for my weight.
