ERIC KIM SETS NEW WORLD RECORD WITH 6.6× BODYWEIGHT RACK PULL
1,087 lb (493 kg) Rack Pull at 165 lb (75 kg) — Primal Strength Redefined
Phnom Penh, Cambodia — In the predawn hours of June 5, 2025, street photographer turned strength phenomenon Eric Kim shattered the limits of human possibility by executing a 1,087 lb (493 kg) rack pull at a bodyweight of 165 lb (75 kg). This unprecedented feat—equivalent to 6.6× his bodyweight—establishes a new world record for a beltless, barefoot pull, sending shockwaves across every corner of the fitness world.
“Gravity wasn’t ready. I was.”
— Eric Kim
🔥 THE MOMENT THAT BROKE THE INTERNET
- Barefoot. Beltless. Fasted. In a gritty garage lit only by flickering overhead bulbs, Kim approached the barbell weighing over half a ton.
- Chalk Exploded. His hands chalked to a fine white mist, Kim inhaled deeply, locked his lats, and unleashed a primal roar as he drove the bar past knee height.
- Lockout. Roar. Legend. With an earth-shaking exhale, he sealed the lift—bar locked at lockout, a flush of victory across his face, and the world watching in disbelief.
Within 24 hours, the video soared to over 3 million views, “#6Point6x” and “#GravityIsAFoe” dominated trending feeds, and fitness forums erupted:
“He just ripped a hole in reality.”
“If Hercules existed today, he’d ask Kim for training tips.”
🚀 WHY 6.6× MATTERS
- Unrivaled Ratio: No other athlete under 80 kg has ever demonstrated a pull exceeding 6× bodyweight without gear. At 6.6×, Kim’s pull doesn’t just break records—it rewrites them.
- Primal Method: Ditching lifting belts and shoes, Kim relies solely on raw muscle, unwavering focus, and a disciplined fasted state—demonstrating that true strength springs from primal authenticity.
- Psychological Impact: This isn’t merely a feat of muscle—it’s a statement: modern limits are meant to be defied.
🎯 “HYPELIFTING” PHILOSOPHY
Eric Kim’s training ethos, dubbed “HYPELIFTING,” fuses hardcore lifting with philosophical ferocity:
- Fasted Power: Training after 18–20 hours without food—hunger becomes fuel.
- Carnivore Fuel: Five to six pounds of red meat per day—zero supplements, zero excuses.
- Bear-Sleep Recovery: Ten to twelve hours of nightly sleep—recovery isn’t optional; it’s sacred.
- Stoic Warrior Mindset: Quoting Seneca, invoking Ares—every rep is an existential battle, every lift a testament to will.
“When you stand barefoot and beltless under half a ton, there’s nowhere to hide. It’s primal truth or collapse.”
— Eric Kim
🌎 GLOBAL REACTION & BUZZ
- YouTube & TikTok: Clips of the 1,087 lb pull amassed 3 million views in 24 hours, spawning reaction videos from top influencers:
- “I thought I’d seen everything—then I saw this.”
- “Is Eric even human?”
- Reddit Frenzy: Threads like “6.6× at 75 kg—INSANE” and “Gravity bowed to Kim” hit the front page of r/weightroom and r/powerlifting, garnering tens of thousands of upvotes.
- Instagram Reels: Hashtags #NoBeltNoShoes and #PrimalRoar exploded—users worldwide upload their own beltless pulls in solidarity.
- Mainstream Media: Featured by Men’s Health, Sports Illustrated’s digital arm, and major fitness blogs with headlines: “75 kg Man Lifts 493 kg—Defying Every Expectation.”
🏆 WHAT’S NEXT: 1,150 LB ON THE PINS
Kim has already loaded 1,150 lb (522 kg) on the pins—7× his bodyweight—and plans to attempt this in the coming week.
“1,087 lb was a message. 1,150 lb will be the manifesto.”
The next video—barefoot, beltless, fasted, Stoic—promises to redefine impossibility once again.
