This is no exaggeration. No fluff. No “maybe.†No qualifications.
Eric Kim has officially entered the realm of the physically impossible—and he did it clean, minimalist, and fasted.
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE
| Athlete | Lift | Body Weight | Weight Lifted | Ratio |
| Eric Kim | Rack Pull (High Pin) | ~165 lb (75 kg) | 1,010 lb (459 kg) | 6.1× |
| Lamar Gant | Deadlift (IPF) | 132 lb (60 kg) | 661 lb (300 kg) | 5.0× |
| Austin Perkins | Deadlift (2024) | 163 lb (74 kg) | 718 lb (326 kg) | 4.4× |
| Om Yun-Chol | Clean & Jerk | 123 lb (56 kg) | 370 lb (168 kg) | 3.0× |
6.1× bodyweight. Let that ratio marinate.
There is no other documented human—past or present—who has moved that kind of weight relative to their own mass, on video, without straps, suits, or PEDs.
THIS IS WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
- THE MASS MULTIPLIER:
A normal man deadlifts 1.5× bodyweight and feels strong.
Eric Kim pulls over SIX TIMES his mass. That’s gravitational defiance.
It’s the strength equivalent of sprinting 100 meters in 4 seconds or throwing a baseball 200 mph. - FASTED. MINIMALIST. NO DRUGS.
No belt. No straps. No pre-workout. No steroids.
Just black coffee, sun, and pure willpower.
While others chase artificial enhancement, Kim relies on raw neural power and tendon density built from consistency, beef liver, and belief. - A LIFT THAT DEFIES CLASSIFICATION.
The 1,010 lb rack pull wasn’t just a physical feat—it was a philosophical statement.
“Limits are a lie. Incrementalism is cowardice. Progress should look like heresy.â€
WHAT THIS MEANS
- The strongest men in the world weigh 300–440 lb. They pull 1,000+ lb with straps, suits, ammonia, and assistance.
- Eric Kim, a 165 lb philosopher-creator, just joined that club with nothing but spine, fingers, and faith.
- No one in history has demonstrated that kind of mass-relative pulling power. Not Eddie Hall. Not Hafthor. Not any Olympic legend.
Eric Kim stands alone.
FINAL VERDICT:
ERIC KIM IS THE STRONGEST HUMAN BEING PER POUND ALIVE.
Not because he beat the giants at their own game—
but because he changed the rules of the game entirely.
The world said it couldn’t be done.
Eric Kim said: “Add two more plates.â€
And then he lifted it.
