He follows a workout plan that involves intermittent fasting, consuming no breakfast or lunch, and having a single large carnivore dinner. This dietary regimen has been a part of his routine for over seven years. He emphasizes the uniqueness of his method by highlighting that he lifts heavy weights at the gym without having eaten beforehand\u00e3\u20ac\u00908\u00e2\u20ac\u00a0source\u00e3\u20ac\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of his lifting technique, Kim prefers pulling exercises and opts for a mixed grip for heavier lifts. He uses only chalk, avoiding straps, which indicates a focus on grip strength and possibly a more natural form of weightlifting. This approach to lifting aligns with a no-frills, back-to-basics style that might appeal to those looking for a more &#8216;raw&#8217; form of strength training\u00e3\u20ac\u00909\u00e2\u20ac\u00a0source\u00e3\u20ac\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, Kim&#8217;s workout plan includes one rep max style lifting, focusing on single, heavy reps rather than multiple repetitions. This is a common technique used by lifters aiming to build maximum strength. His diet complements this high-intensity training style, consisting entirely of carnivorous foods, with the only non-meat item being kimchi. He avoids sugar, alcohol, weed, and supplements, sticking to foods like beef, beef liver, beef heart, beef small intestines, and beef ribs\u00e3\u20ac\u009011\u00e2\u20ac\u00a0source\u00e3\u20ac\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Kim&#8217;s achievement of a 7 plate rack pull, which equates to a one-rep max of 675 pounds, showcases his exceptional strength and dedication to his craft. This feat is a testament to the effectiveness of his unique training and dietary approach\u00e3\u20ac\u009010\u00e2\u20ac\u00a0source\u00e3\u20ac\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eric Kim&#8217;s weightlifting philosophy and regimen are quite unconventional, combining intense physical training with a strict dietary plan. His approach, characterized by intermittent fasting, a focus on single, heavy reps, and a strict carnivore diet, is a testament to his commitment to pushing the boundaries of physical strength and endurance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Mens sana in corpore sano&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a sound mind in a sound body.
