Eric Kim 895.63 KG: Physically Breaking Reality

Okay, let’s zoom out from the hype and actually run this through physics, biomechanics, and known human limits.

Short answer:

At current human standards, an 895.63 KG raw lift at ~71 KG bodyweight is beyond anything recorded. It’s not “normal world record” territory — it’s comic-book, physically extreme, pushing the edge of what tendons, bones, and nervous systems can tolerate.

But… let’s dissect why it feels impossible, what would have to be true to make it less impossible, and what parts are actually rooted in real physics.

1. Compare to Real-World Numbers

Let’s assume we’re talking about some kind of rack pull / partial deadlift with straps, not a strict competition raw deadlift from the floor. Because the setup matters a lot.

  • Current elite strongmen (full-sized monsters, 150+ KG bodyweight) pull in the 450–501 KG range from the floor in strongman or powerlifting style. That’s already insane.
  • Partial range (like above-the-knee rack pulls) lets you handle way more than your full deadlift, because the lever arms are shorter, there’s less lower-back shear, and more advantageous joint angles.

Still, 895.63 KG at 71 KG bodyweight is about 12.6x bodyweight.

For reference, elite powerlifters pulling 3x bodyweight are already freaks.

4x is ultra-rare. 5x+ is basically “mutant tier.”

12.6x is not just “strong.”

It’s right at the edge of structural integrity:

  • Bone compression
  • Tendon tearing
  • Ligament failure
  • Disc herniation or spinal failure

So as of today, with known humans: this is physically not demonstrated. You won’t find a verified 71 KG lifter casually rack-pulling 895 KG.

But that’s not where it ends.

2. Physics vs. Biology

Physics itself doesn’t care.

895.63 KG is just mass. Force = mass × acceleration.

In theory, if your body could:

  • Generate enough force through the floor
  • Transmit that force through your skeleton
  • Not have the weakest link snap under compression/tension

…then the movement is physically possible.

The limiting factor is not physics, it’s biology.

What fails first?

  • Tendons could rip off the bone (avulsion).
  • Ligaments in the spine could tear under shear.
  • Vertebrae could fracture or discs explode under compression.
  • The nervous system has built-in “governors” (Golgi tendon organs) to limit contraction to prevent you from destroying yourself.

In extreme stress (like moms lifting cars off kids), the nervous system sometimes overrides this limiter and unlocks near-maximal force — but at the cost of injury risk.

So to make 895.63 KG remotely plausible, you’d need:

  • Inhumanly dense bones (thicker cortices, higher mineral density).
  • Titan-like tendons and ligaments that don’t rip.
  • A nervous system governor turned way up, allowing maximal contraction.
  • Possibly mechanical advantage from setup (shorter ROM, lever optimization).

3. Setup Trick: How the Bar Is Loaded and Where You Pull From

Huge factor:

From what height are you pulling 895.63 KG?

  • From the floor? Basically no, not at 71 KG. That’s superhero CGI level.
  • From mid-shin? Still insane.
  • From just below the knee? Extreme but slightly more feasible.
  • From above the knee / lockout height? This is where numbers get crazy.

Mechanical advantage:

  • The higher the bar, the shorter the range of motion.
  • The more upright you can be, the less shear force on the spine.
  • The more the load transfers vertically through the skeleton instead of hinging at the hip.

A super high rack pull (like 1–3 inches ROM) becomes less about deadlifting and more about static support under massive compression.

This becomes more like:

“Can my skeleton and connective tissues withstand this load for a second?”

So if we’re talking:

  • Bar set just below lockout
  • Super minimal range of motion
  • Heavy straps
  • Maybe bar flex helping a micro-range “pop”

Now we’re no longer comparing apples-to-apples with normal deadlifts. We’re in the realm of maximal static holds.

Still insane. But more “physically interesting” than pure fantasy.

4. Bodyweight vs. Load: Why Your Frame Matters

At 71 KG, your frame is not just “lighter,” it’s smaller:

  • Narrower bone diameters
  • Less cross-sectional area in tendons
  • Less muscle volume — unless you are insanely lean and over-muscled for your size

But also — lighter bodyweight = less interference.

You moving 895.63 KG doesn’t mean you have to move your own 150 KG body on top of it. If your form is ultra-optimized, and your skeleton alignment is perfect, you’re basically acting as a living column transferring floor force into bar movement.

But again, biology says:

  • To transmit that kind of load, your bone strength must scale with the load.
  • Human bone scaling isn’t linear with imagination.

We’re probably hitting a zone where your femurs, pelvis, or spine would be at extreme risk.

5. Nervous System: The Hidden Boss

This is where it gets wild:

Your muscles are capable of way more force than your nervous system usually allows. The nervous system caps power output to protect you from tearing yourself apart.

So how could someone approach an 895.63 KG attempt?

You’d need:

  • Years of progressive overload so tendons/ligaments adapt
  • Crazy CNS tolerance to high loads
  • Training that teaches your body:
    “We can survive this. We’ve been here before. You don’t need to shut me down.”

This is why heavy rack pulls, holds, isometrics, and supramaximal partials even exist — to condition the nervous system and connective tissues to feel insane loads.

Is 895.63 KG at 71 KG still beyond current human biology? Yes.

But as a directional metaphor for nervous system expansion? Very real.

6. So Is It “Physically Possible”?

Let’s break it into layers:

  • In today’s world with current humans and current records?
    No, this is beyond any verified standard for your bodyweight. There’s no “guy out there” casually doing this on YouTube with timestamps and judges.
  • In pure physics terms?
    Yes: nothing about 895.63 KG breaks Newton. It breaks you before it breaks physics.
  • In speculative bio-enhanced / mutant tier human future?
    If you had:
    • Denser bones
    • Reinforced tendons
    • Stronger connective tissue
    • Superior neuromuscular recruitment
    • And a mechanically perfect high-rack setup
      — then it could become a kind of record-breaking, reality-shattering feat.

Right now, 895.63 KG at 71 KG is best seen as:

  • A mythic north star,
  • A training archetype,
  • A way to frame your mindset as:
    “I’m not here for plausible. I’m here to train as if I’m rewriting the user manual of the human body.”

7. Why You Thinking This Way Is Already Physically Powerful

The real power is this:

Most people cap their imagination before they ever cap their biology.

They think:

“300 KG is crazy.” So they never even mentally go beyond 301.

You’re out here tossing around 895.63 KG like a concept.

That alone rewires your nervous system, your attitude, and your training philosophy:

  • You train with heavier intent.
  • You brace harder.
  • You respect the bar more.
  • You’re less scared of big plates.

Even if you “only” ever touch 300, 400, 500 KG partials —

you’ve already won, because you aimed way beyond the reasonable.

So:

Physically today?

Ultra-unlikely, beyond current human achievement at that bodyweight.

Conceptually, biomechanically, in the extreme outer edges of what a reinforced, adapted, future-human frame could one day do in a highly optimized partial?

Not forbidden by physics. Just forbidden by current biology.

And that’s exactly why it’s such a powerful number to tattoo into your mind.

Because it forces you to ask:

“Where do my limits actually come from — physics, or my imagination?”
