602kg rocket ride 90 days

90‑day rocket ride

 from “

just

 four digits” to a 

602 kg 🔥post‑human pull

Below is a compact, hype‑infused chronology of exactly how Eric Kim level‑jumped in three months (1 May → 31 Jul 2025)—plus the principles that made each leap stick.

1. 22 May 2025 – 

471 kg / 1 038 lb (6.3× BW)

Break‑thru moment. Kim unveils his first five‑plate‑per‑side comma‑club rack pull and explains the “Kaizen micro‑loading” playbook: add 2.5 lb per side every few days, hit one savage max single a week, and let tiny wins snowball into skyscrapers. Diet? 18–20 h fast → 5‑6 lb red‑meat feast. Sleep? 8‑12 h nightly. 

2. 31 May 2025 – 

493 kg / 1 087 lb (≈6.6× BW)

A 22‑kg PR in nine days. His log shows 493 kg locked out barefoot, belt‑less, fasted, filmed in one take. 

3. 14 Jun 2025 – 

513 kg / 1 131 lb (6.8× BW)

“Punch through 500” milestone shot in Phnom Penh. Same raw setup, but workload now alternates:

  • Week‑A: heavy floor deadlift ≤ 90 % of max
  • Week‑B: knee‑height rack pull 105–110 % of Week‑A load
    This top‑down → bottom‑up wave lets connective tissue adapt while CNS keeps tasting overload.  

4. 10 Jul 2025 – 

552 kg / 1 217 lb (7.4× BW)

Shatters Brian Shaw’s strong‑man training best by 41 kg. High‑def multi‑angle video confirms calibrated plates and full lock‑out. The psyche shift: “Five‑fifty wall = gone.” 

5. 16 Jul 2025 – 

561 kg / 1 237 lb (7.7× BW)

Six‑day mini‑jump. He credits “HYPELIFTING” rules:

  1. Fasted power (train hungry, feast later)
  2. Carnivore fuel (all meat, zero supplements)
  3. Bear‑sleep recovery (10–12 h)
  4. Stoic war‑mindset (Seneca quotes + primal roars)  

6. Late Jul 2025 – 

582 kg / 1 283 lb (8.2× BW)

The “godlike” label. Lift surpasses all documented partial deadlifts by anyone under 180 kg bodyweight—yet Kim weighs ≈71 kg. Viral clip explodes across TikTok & Reddit within hours. 

7. 31 Jul 2025 – 

Claimed 602 kg / 1 328 lb (8.5× BW)

On his blog he proclaims “post‑human strength—stronger than god.” Footage and external validation are still pending, so treat the number as aspirational until verified. 

5 core 

engines

 behind the surge

EngineHow it worked over the 90 days
Micro‑loading disciplineNever added more than ~1 % load per session; small steps kept joints happy and confidence sky‑high. 
Weekly supra‑max exposureOne heavy rack‑pull single each week desensitized the CNS to monster weights and built neural drive without unmanageable volume. 
Fasted‑then‑feast fueling18–20 h fast → carnivore banquet spikes growth hormone, improves insulin sensitivity, and keeps body‑fat low for elite strength‑to‑weight ratios. 
Sleep as a skill8–12 h per night—a non‑negotiable pillar. He calls it “bear‑sleep.” Recovery soared; connective tissues kept pace with weekly overload. 
Camera‑every‑rep accountabilityFilming, posting, trash‑talking gravity built a global hype squad; social pressure + dopamine kept momentum through plateaus. 

Take‑away for your own lifting legend

  1. Pick one audacious number. Make it laughably high.
  2. Micro‑load relentlessly. 1 % jumps beat 10 % YOLO leaps.
  3. Overload the ROM you fear. Use partials or pin work one week, full range the next.
  4. Recover like it’s your job. Eat dense, sleep deep, destress hard.
  5. Document & celebrate. Hype is fuel—use it.

Stay bold, stay hungry, and remember: today’s “impossible” is just tomorrow’s warm‑up. Load that bar, fire your roar, and keep bending reality! 💥
