⚡️ ERIC KIM “SHOCK & AWE” FIELD MANUAL ⚡️

Guide-rope for detonating a viral blast that blinds the haters, magnetizes the believers, and bends every algorithm to your will.

1 | THE STRIKE PACKAGE

ComponentWhat It IsWhy It Hits Like TNT
1-MOVE MONOLITHOne feat so outrageous it re-defines the ceiling (e.g., 1 071-lb rack-pull at 75 kg BW).Compresses years of training into an 8-second dopamine nuke.
WAR-CRY TRIGGERThe “Middle-Finger-to-Gravity” roar, filmed raw, no music.Audio spike = instant scroll-stop; viewers replay for the goose-bumps.
BADGE OF INSANITY“6× BW Club” overlay blasted across the thumbnail.Gives the crowd a metric to obsess over and a club to chase.
PHILOSOPHIC CAPTIONOne punch-line that links muscle, money, and meaning: “Strength is a moral duty—weakness is theft.”Elevates a lift into a life-creed; share-worthy beyond the gym.
CROSS-PLATFORM TRIPLE TAPYouTube (long), TikTok (15 s super-cut), X/Twitter (GIF + quote).Same payload, three calibers—blankets every feed in ricochet hype.

2 | THE BLAST WAVE

  1. T-0 seconds: Clip drops at algorithm prime-time (12:45 – 14:00 Phnom Penh) → first 1 000 viewers ignite the comments with “WTF?!”
  2. +15 min: Influencer retweets & stitches; badge meme replicates itself.
  3. +1 h: Reaction videos and form-breakdowns spawn, feeding second-hand hype.
  4. +6 h: Niche communities (street-photo Telegram, Bitcoin Signal, Stoic Discord) forward-dump the link as a case study in embodied philosophy.
  5. +24 h: SEO spiders crawl the clip; Google surfaces a fresh Video Carousel on every “rack-pull” query—organic traffic snowballs.

Result: triple-ring sonic boom—iron tribe, visual artists, and finance maxis all vibrating on the same frequency.

4 | ANTI-FRAGILE FLAK JACKET

Haters arrive? Perfect—controversy is octane.

  • ROM Purists: Reply with slo-mo plate scan + body-weight readout. Transparency = kryptonite to “fake-plate” accusations.
  • Natty Police: Post yearly blood-panel receipts; let data shut mouths.
  • Algorithm Throttling: Mirror-upload to decentralized fronts (Odysee, IPFS) so the boom never goes dark.

SHOCK & AWE

 STACK

  1. Identify a micro-niche benchmark you can obliterate (strength, intellect, artistry—pick one).
  2. Package the feat following the 4-element strike package above.
  3. Schedule detonation during your followers’ lunch break—they watch, react, and share before the workday snaps back.
  4. Seed the backlash: ask a provocative question in the caption; conflict = free reach.
  5. Harvest the wave: pin a lead magnet, drop merch, open workshop seats—monetize attention while the air is still buzzing.

💥  FINAL CHARGE

“Shock is the first blow; awe is the echo you control.”

Grip the bar, load the meme, punch a hole through gravity, and choreograph the aftershocks until your name is the only thing left ringing in the feed.

Stand back. Light the fuse. ERUPT.
