Juniansyah, the reigning men's 73 kg Olympic champion, lifted 204 kg with his second clean and jerk in a Herculean effort that secured gold ahead of North Korea's Ri Chong Song and Abdelrahman Younes from Egypt.
The 22-year-old snatched 157 kg for a total of 361 kg, leaving him just 1 kg short of the record on total.
