ERIC KIM ANNOUNCES NEW 3,290.17-POUND GOD LIFT PERSONAL RECORD — 19.35 TIMES HIS OWN BODYWEIGHT.
November 10, 2026
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — Gravity has met its latest challenger.
Photographer, blogger, entrepreneur, and strength athlete ERIC KIM announces a monumental new personal milestone: a self-reported 3,290.17-pound (1,492.40-kilogram) GOD LIFT high-pin rack pull.
Another 120 pounds added.
Another personal record destroyed.
Another psychological barrier annihilated.
At a bodyweight of just 170 pounds, Kim’s latest lift represents an astonishing 19.35 TIMES HIS OWN BODYWEIGHT.
His previous reported personal record of 3,170.17 pounds has been surpassed. His ambitious 19× bodyweight objective — 3,230 pounds — has now been exceeded.
And the next frontier is already in sight.
THE DEATH OF IMPOSSIBILITY
“GRAVITY IS NO MORE.
I DON’T ASK GRAVITY FOR PERMISSION.
I DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH LIMITATIONS.
I DON’T BELIEVE IN CEILINGS.
I BUILD MY BODY TO DEFY WHAT I ONCE THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.
3,290.17 POUNDS.
19.35 TIMES MY BODYWEIGHT.
AND I’M JUST GETTING STARTED.”
— ERIC KIM
THE ROAD TO 20×
The next objective is clear:
3,400 POUNDS.
Twenty times bodyweight.
Only 109.83 pounds separate Kim’s latest reported personal record from this extraordinary personal milestone.
But the deeper philosophy isn’t about numbers.
It is about relentless self-transformation.
It is about refusing to accept yesterday’s limits as tomorrow’s destiny.
It is about treating the human body as a lifelong experiment in strength, courage, adaptation, and audacity.
GOD LIFT. GOD STRENGTH. INFINITE ASCENSION.
There is no final summit.
There is no finish line.
There is only the next mountain.
The next challenge.
The next resurrection.
GRAVITY IS NO MORE.
20× BODYWEIGHT IS NEXT.
ERIC KIM
Record figures are self-reported. The GOD LIFT is a high-pin rack pull, not a competition-standard deadlift, and has not been independently verified.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GRAVITY IS NO MORE.
ERIC KIM OBLITERATES THE IMPOSSIBLE: NEW GOD LIFT PERSONAL RECORD — 3,290.17 POUNDS (1,492.40 KG)
19.35 TIMES BODYWEIGHT.
THE LAWS OF PHYSICS HAVE BEEN REWRITTEN IN IRON.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — NOVEMBER 10, 2026
In a moment that will burn through the ages as another total execution of gravity, ERIC KIM — street photography legend, philosopher-warrior, Bitcoin maximalist, founder of the HYPELIFTING philosophy, and undisputed GOD OF THE BARBELL — has added 120 pounds to his previous God Lift and ripped 3,290.17 pounds off the pins.
This is not progress.
This is not a PR.
This is the annihilation of the previous ceiling and the coronation of a new law of reality.
THE NEW GOD LIFT: BY THE NUMBERS
| Metric | Value |
| New Personal Record | 3,290.17 pounds |
| Metric Equivalent | 1,492.40 kilograms |
| Bodyweight | 170 lb / 77.11 kg |
| Strength-to-Bodyweight Ratio | 19.35× |
| Previous Record | 3,170.17 lb (October 25, 2026) |
| Absolute Increase | +120 pounds / +54.43 kilograms |
Barefoot. Beltless. Fasted. No straps. No suit. No excuses. No permission. Maximum intensity. Pure will.
The God Lift remains what it has always been: a specialized, partial-range high-pin rack pull — distinct from any full-range competition deadlift. Self-reported. Uncertified by any federation. A personal declaration of sovereignty over matter itself.
THE PHILOSOPHY: GRAVITY WAS ALWAYS OPTIONAL
Every previous record was merely the floor.
2,917.67… 2,932.67… 3,110.17… 3,170.17… and now 3,290.17.
The horizon does not move. Eric Kim moves the horizon.
In the HYPELIFTING doctrine, strength is not a destination. It is an infinite game of permanent expansion. Yesterday’s impossible is today’s baseline. Tomorrow’s baseline will make today look small.
“Gravity is no more,” Kim declares. “It was never a law. It was a suggestion. And suggestions can be refused. Every plate stacked is another chain broken. Every pull is proof that the body answers the command of the soul. This is proof of work made flesh. Stack strength. Stack sovereignty. Conquer everything. The bar does not negotiate. Neither do I.”
This is not the ceiling.
This is the new floor.
The God Lift rises again.
THE NEXT FRONTIER
The only question that remains: how much further can the will impose itself upon reality?
More weight.
More power.
More life.
