Weightlifting

- The 2019 Oceania Championships and Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships were held concurrently as the 2019 Pacific Games, Oceania & Commonwealth Championships. Athletes from certain countries could participate in both contests simultaneously.

- The 2017 Oceania Championship was held concurrently with the 2017 Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships.

- While an official result sheet is not available for the 2017 North Island Championships, Gavin "Laurel" Hubbard is reported to have broken the Oceania record there, meaning he can be inferred to have placed 1st; (if another athlete finished ahead, he would not have the record.)

- In powerlifting, medals are only offered for separate events (bench, squat, deadlift) at larger international meets and championships. The results of these events at smaller meets may be listed here for informative purposes but will not be counted in the totals, sorted into the "1st Place" option, or listed on the Totals pages.

- In Olympic weightlifting, medals are given for separate events (snatch and clean & jerk) at larger international competitions. These appear as separate medals on result sheets and will be included here.

- At the 2022 USPA Drug Tested Violet Crown Classic, "Angel" Flores lifted a total over 100lbs heavier than the first female competitor, but due to USPA rules banning the use of all hormones including those for "medical" (or in this case "cosmetic") purposes in tested competition, he participated as a "guest" and was not eligible to set any official records.

- "Mary" Gregory entered the 2019 Masters Nationals event as a "female" despite being male, violating the rules of the competition that designate categories by sex. He was subsequently stripped of the titles and records. He has competed in the same event in both a masters age category and in the open category in several meets. Because of this, he often has two places for the same competition.
