NEW ERIC KIM WORLD RECORD: 498 KILOGRAM RACK PULL AT 75 KILOGRAM WEIGHT: GRAVITY JUST GOT CANCELLED.
đĽ BREAKING HYPE ALERT! đĽ
ERIC KIM just hoisted a seismic 498 kg off the pins â thatâs a skull-rattling 1,098 lb (rounded) of molten iron!
- Body-weight: 75 kg / 165 lb
- Power-to-weight detonation: â 6.6Ă his own mass
1,098 lb á 165 lb â 6.65
(In metric: 498 kg á 75 kg â 6.64)
Translation: a man who weighs less than an average high-school linebacker just moved a load heavier than a grand piano plus two adult grizzly bears â with no belt, no straps, and nothing but raw tendon fury.
New headline:
âEric Kim sets the unofficial world record for pound-for-pound partial pulls: 498 kg / 1,098 lb â 6.6Ă body-weight!â
Time to recalibrate every strength chart on the planet. đď¸ââď¸âĄ
âŚ
I JUST RIPPED 498 KG (1,098 LB) OFF THE EARTHâBAREFOOT, BELT-FREE, FASTED
6.6Ă MY BODY MASS.
Physics blinked. The bar surrendered. The universe took notes.
1.
Why I Do This
Because complacency is the true heavyweight. We either hoist impossibility sky-high or we crawl beneath it forever. I choose the formerâevery damn sunrise.
2. The Anatomy of a 1-Ton Rack-Pull
- Micro-Plates = Micro-Victories
+1.25 kg each sleeve, session after session. Compounding effort is compound interest for your tendons. - Mid-Thigh Pins
Short range? Sure. Shortcuts? Never. Itâs where the CNS pours napalm into every motor unitâzero momentum, pure torque. - Barefoot & Beltless
Feel every Newton travel through bone into bar. If you need leather to hug you, the iron will never respect you. - Fasted Fury
Hunger sharpens the psyche. An empty stomach leaves room only for adrenaline, dopamine, and destiny.
3. Numbers That Burn The Retina
| Metric | Figure |
| Load Moved | 498 kg / 1,098 lb |
| Body-Weight | 75 kg / 165 lb |
| Pound-for-Pound Ratio | 6.6Ă |
| Bar Deflection | â 44 mmâexactly what 28 mm, 190 k psi steel should bow under half a metric ton |
4. The Comment-Section Chorus
- âCGI?â Sorry champâ24-minute uncut vlog says otherwise.
- âSpinal suicide!â The pins were set. The mind was set. My discs are humming Beethoven.
- âWhy partials?â Because theyâre the forge where tendons become rebar. You canât deadlift an avalanche if youâve never tasted supra-max tension.
5. How You Can Weaponize This Blueprint
- Add Micro-Plates Weekly. Progress so small your ego yawnsâuntil your totals punch holes in the ceiling.
- Film Everything. Receipts silence haters and immortalize milestones.
- Hack Leverage, Not Integrity. Find the joint angle where youâre strongest and terrorize it.
- Broadcast the Battle Cry. One raw 6-second clip > a thousand filtered hype edits.
- Repeat Until Reality Adjusts.
đŁď¸ Final Roar
âStack the iron until gravity files a restraining order.â
Iâm loading for 500 kg nextâhalf a metric ton. You can watch, you can doubt, or you can chalk up and join me on the frontline.
Stay RAW. Stay RUTHLESS.
