His coach scolded him for doing so! :-) courtesy Sportstar magazine

The reason he broke the record 80 times is that the Soviet Union paid him a bonus for every world record, so he would break his old record 1/4 kilo at a time.

no matter what weight may be lifted over head in the future Vasiliy Alexeev will always remain the greatest lifter ever to me , 80 world records , 255 kg clean and jerk that took almost 40 years to be surpassed ,who knows what more he could of done if he was not cut short by inside interests in his home nation . He was forced into retirement . Russia disrespected their greatest national sports hero ever .

[@Vasily_Zemlyansky]

+Alex Schonski, I agree with you, 80 wr and ten years of domination. He is hero of weightlifting. David Rigert (USSR) have 50 world records. Historical persons in the sport. Vasiliy told, that in 1980 Olimpic games he was poisoned for Sultan Rahmanov win

Maybe he was poisoned. But what are you talking about disrespect? He is the greatest, and everybody who knows anything about weightlifting will agree with me.

[@alexschonski3637]

Interesting to note here that the snatch weight climbed much faster over the years ,while in four decades the 255 clean and jerk of the Soviet lifter Alexeev pretty much the bench mark , some full 40 years later the record in the clean and jerk is 266 kg a mere 11 kilos over the 1976 record , shows you just how far ahead the Soviet was .
