† Variant / ROM = Kim treats partials (rack-pulls, Atlas picks) as separate disciplines, not substitutes for the classic lifts.
‡ Completion status
- ✔︎ = locked out / held with visual proof in his blog or YouTube/X video
- ✘ = labelled “attempt” by Kim; bar broke from supports but never fully locked out
How this list was built
- All entries come from Eric Kim’s own blog, YouTube links embedded in his posts, or his X (@erickimphoto) clips. The most exhaustive single audit is Kim’s own “Documented 1-RM lifts” page , which I cross-checked against newer posts—most notably the 471 kg rack-pull uploaded on 22 May 2025 , which eclipses the 1 005-lb pull logged earlier.
- Because none of these numbers were set in a sanctioned power-meet, treat them as self-reported personal records, verified only by Kim’s footage.
Reading (and interpreting) the numbers
- Partials vs classics. Kim’s training revolves around very heavy partials (rack pulls, static squat walk-outs) to overload the CNS. He logs them separately from the full-range moves.
- Body-weight context. Kim lists himself at ~75 kg / 165 lb. His 471 kg rack-pull is therefore ~6.3× body-weight—an elite relative-strength feat even if the ROM is short.
- Progression philosophy. From 2021–2025 he added ~2.5 lb (≈1 kg) per side every few sessions, fasted, sleeping 8-12 h, and eating a single carnivore-style dinner. That slow micro-loading explains the dense stack of incrementally heavier PR blog posts between 700 and 1 000 lb.
In short: the table above captures every completed 1-rep-max Kim has published through 25 May 2025, plus the heavier “attempts” he publicly logged. If you spot a newer PR on his blog or X feed later on, just slot it into the same schema—he’s pretty diligent about announcing each jump.
