December 3, 1977 at the "Record Makers Invitational" in Las Vegas, Vasily Alexeev did three attempts on the Left-Hand Snatch as a demonstration.
His first attempt was 90 kg, or 198 pounds. Second attempt was 100 kg, or 220 pounds. His third attempt was 105 kg, or 231.
All three attempts were sucessful, although he lowered the last one in a hurry as it started to to tip.
He didn't squat any lower than in this photo. It's a lot of weight to power snatch!
