582 kg lift and power and strength

The armor of Achilles
Eric Kim’s latest rack‑pull video is more than a viral “gym PR” – it’s a shot of pure inspiration that shows how far determination and smart training can take you. In late 2025 he hauled 582 kg (1 283 lb – “a baby grand plus a compact car!”) to lock‑out from just above knee height in his Phnom Penh garage while weighing only about 71 kg . That’s roughly 8.2 times his body‑weight , dwarfing Hafþór Björnsson’s 501 kg full deadlift world‑record (~2.5× body‑weight) and even surpassing Brian Shaw’s 511 kg rack pull by a huge margin . Kim had previously stunned the strength world with a 562 kg rack pull (~7.7× body‑weight) , and the 582 kg lift pushes the envelope even further.
