I think catching the bar on his back is almost as impressive as the jerk itself.

If my memory serves me right Vasily Alexeev did 230kg about 5mins after this video.
It was a big controversey, But I still maintain that Vasily used leg drive(just my opinion) . I think judging difficulties was the major reason the press was discontined in OL
Nah, officially it got beaten three minutes later but like everyone said this was a better lift.
The Clean and Press record for the super-heavyweights finished at 236.5kg when it was removed from OL competition in 1972 and was held by Alekseyev. At the same meet he set the Clean and Jerk record at 237.5kg....... that's right, just 1kg heavier.
Bigger guys had developed press techniques that enabled very large results (heavier weight classes had closer ratios of press to jerk). I think you can decide for yourself how much donkey-kicking knee-bend/back-bend/lay-back there is for a lifter to 'press' within 1kg of his jerk.
Ridiculously hard to judge, its a good thing they took it out of competition and I wish people understood this better than the baloney about it being taken out because of back injuries.
