Dutch records
The KNKF keeps the Dutch records, for classic and equipped, by weight class and age category. You’ll find the current lists as downloads on the KNKF records page. A Dutch record only counts if it was set at a meet on the official calendar.
You’ll find more background on the strongest Dutch lifters in our articles.
How do you compare lifters?
A record only tells you something within a weight class. To compare lifters across different classes, you use IPF GL Points. That’s also how the IPF decides the Best Lifter at a meet. Work out your own score.
