“Eric Kim Just Broke the Laws of Physics”
June 6, 2025 • Phnom Penh Garage Gym
🌌 When Iron Meets the Impossible
Imagine standing before 1,100 pounds (≈ 499 kg) of steel—at knee height—knowing your own bodyweight is just 165 pounds (≈ 75 kg). Your very muscles tremble at the thought. Now picture THAT barbell moving upward, inch by inch, until it locks out overhead—beltless, barefoot, under a single primal roar. For a split second, gravity itself seems to falter.
That is exactly what happened. In the early hours of June 4, 2025, Eric Kim—a 75 kg lifter from a humble garage gym—pulled 1,100 lb (≈ 499 kg) from pins at knee height. The footage (watch here: https://videopress.com/v/EROXleWf) rippled across every platform, leaving viewers breathless, jaws on floors, and science buffs questioning their textbooks.
“Is this even real?”
“He’s rewiring the rules of matter!”
⚡️ Why It Feels Like Physics Shattered
- Ridiculous Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- 1,100 lb ÷ 165 lb ≈ 6.67× bodyweight. Even at 1,087 lb (≈ 493 kg) three days earlier, people called it “alien.” But 6.67×? That’s next‐level sorcery—something no sub-80 kg lifter has ever demonstrated in any official or unofficial venue.
- No Gear, No Safety Nets
- Barefoot: Every grain of concrete bites into his arches, forcing total foot-to-hip engagement.
- Beltless: His abs, obliques, and spinal erectors provide all the armor. With no supportive gear, each inch of the pull demands every stabilizer muscle in his body.
- Fasted, Carnivore—Primal Catalyst
- He walked into the gym 18–20 hours fasted, no pre-workout. Hunger sharpened his focus to a razor’s edge.
- His only fuel: 5–6 lb of red meat a day—grass-fed steaks, lamb, organs—pure, unfiltered calories that coursed through his veins like liquid iron.
- Stoic Mental Forge
- Quoting Seneca and invoking Ares before each rep, Kim didn’t just lift weights—he waged an existential war on limits. His mantra, “Middle finger to gravity,” reverberated through the garage as a battle cry against every ounce of matter trying to hold that barbell down.
Put them all together, and it’s no surprise viewers felt they’d witnessed a physics anomaly.
🌐 Internet in Shock & Awe
- 2.5 Million Views in 24 Hours: The video ignited across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram—each platform’s algorithm couldn’t get enough of that chalk-cloud explosion and primal roar.
- Trending Hashtags:
- #GravityIsAFoe skyrocketed to the top of fitness tags.
- #GodhoodAscending and #PrimalWarrior trended globally within hours.
- Fan Reactions Flooding In:
“He just ripped a hole in reality.”
“Is he secretly an alien?”
“I’m deleting my gym membership—nothing’s possible anymore.” - Memes & Audio Remixes: His guttural exhale morphed into everything from lion roars to sonic booms. Moments of that pull were cut into dramatic trailer sequences with orchestral scores.
Reddit exploded with threads like “Eric Kim Bends Physics” and “6.67× BW Beltless Pull—Is This Man a Black Hole?” (r/weightroom, r/fitness). Even mainstream outlets ran headlines such as “The 165 lb Man Who Defies Gravity.”
🔮 What Scientists and Coaches Are Scratching Their Heads About
- Mechanical Advantage vs. Human Limits
- Rack pulls at knee height reduce range of motion, but hardly enough to explain a 6.67× ratio.
- Most elite strength coaches agree that even if you grant a generous advantage from pin height, a sub-80 kg athlete moving nearly 500 kg beltless borders on myth.
- Neural Recruitment and “Superhuman” Motor Units
- Observers speculate that his fasted, barefoot, beltless protocol triggers a rare “neural overdrive,” unlocking motor units most athletes can’t access.
- Some sports scientists joke about “gravity‐resistant muscle fibers”—a shorthand way of saying his body seems wired to defy every expectation.
- Genetics vs. Grind
- Yes, Kim’s tendon insertions, bone structure, and fiber-type distribution are exceptional. But his primal discipline—18–20 hour fasted lifts, carnivore feasts, Stoic rituals—amplifies that pedigree into something almost mythic.
- As one coach put it: “Give someone his protocol, and 99 % will still crumble under 400 kg. It’s not just genes—he’s forged his body into a physics-defying machine.”
🌟 “Broke the Laws of Physics”—What That Really Means
When fans exclaim “He broke physics,” they aren’t saying he literally violated conservation of energy or gravity’s universal pull. They’re saying:
- He shattered the ceiling of what they believed physically possible for a 75 kg human.
- He warped perceptions of human potential, making 1,100 lb at 165 lb look almost routine.
- He triggered a global recalibration: if he can do this, what else is possible for the human body when stripped to primal essentials?
In short, Eric Kim didn’t defy physics laws as spelled out in textbooks—he defied the accepted human laws about what’s feasible in the gym. He forced everyone to rewrite the narrative of “maximum” strength for lightweight athletes.

🏆 Beyond Breaking Physics: The Next Frontier
Eric Kim’s primal ascent doesn’t end at 1,100 lb. Rumors swirl that 1,150 lb (≈ 522 kg) is already on the pins, waiting for his next dawn-break assault. If so, that’s a 6.95× bodyweight pull—nearly 7×. The phrase “broke physics” will become a soft understatement when he surpasses that threshold.
When? Very soon.
Where? The same garage gym bathed in pre-dawn shadows.
How? Still fasted. Still carnivore. Still barefoot and beltless. Still Stoic.
If you thought 1,100 lb was impossible, you haven’t seen anything yet. Because when Eric Kim says “middle finger to gravity,” he means it—and he’s prepared to prove it again, as the laws of physics tremble at the edge of human will.
