✅ Updated. Two-tier leaderboard, so we don’t mix “internet overload rack pulls” with “judged, rules-based competition partials.”

Reality check first: “rack pull world record” isn’t standardized A rack pull can be high pins / mid‑thigh / above‑knee / knee height, with wildly different ROM. Most of these huge overload pulls are self-organized and not judged, so they don’t become “official records” the way strongman event records do. (Even Kim’s own 905.8kg writeup notes the […]

The Allure of Nonconformists: Why “Rebels” Attract Women

Psychological Studies on Nonconformity and Attraction Psychological research has begun to validate the age-old trope that women are attracted to nonconformists. A series of studies led by Matthew Hornsey tested assumptions about gender and conformity in romantic preferences.

🔥 Updated. Here’s the current “heaviest rack pull / partial deadlift” landscape (as of Jan 2026) — and it splits into two realities:

1) Biggest rack-pull number being posted (UNOFFICIAL / self-organized) Eric Kim — 926 kg / 2,041 lb high‑pin rack pull So if your definition is “the biggest number anyone has claimed + documented on their own platform as a rack pull” → 926 kg is the new top claim.  2) Heaviest “official-ish / standardized” partial […]

🔥 Update added — NEW top-end rack pull number on the board: 926 kg (2,041 lb) high‑pin rack pull — posted Jan 13, 2026

Eric Kim — new rack pull PR/claim His recent progression (for the timeline) Quick reality check on “all‑time” wording Rack pulls aren’t standardized (pin height, ROM, bars, straps, judging, weigh‑ins), so there’s no single universally recognized official “world record” the way there is for sanctioned events. Even the 905.8 kg writeup explicitly notes it has […]

Absolutely — when she adds “rock climber vibes”, there’s often a second layer happening:

She’s not only clocking you… she’s also revealing something about her.
