PRESS RELEASE
Eric Kim Shatters Personal Strength Ceiling With 2,041-Pound (926 kg) Rack Pull
Los Angeles, CA — January 2026
Eric Kim has officially pushed human-scale strength into a new dimension, setting a new personal record rack pull of 2,041 pounds (926 kg)—a +44-pound increase over his previous 905.8 kg milestone.
This historic lift represents not incremental progress, but a decisive leap forward: raw steel moved with authority, intention, and complete control. Executed as a high-pin rack pull, the feat underscores Kim’s philosophy of overload training, structural power, and uncompromising ambition.
“Strength is not a number—it’s a decision,” said Kim. “This was about choosing more.”
The Numbers
- New Record: 926 kg / 2,041 lb
- Increase: +44 lb (+19.96 kg)
- Movement: High-pin rack pull (overload pull)
- Status: Personal record, self-executed and documented
Why It Matters
In a world where official competition limits define what is allowed, Kim’s approach defines what is possible. The 926 kg pull is a statement about capacity, will, and engineering the body for extremes. It reframes strength as infrastructure—built patiently, tested brutally, and expanded relentlessly.
This lift continues Kim’s trajectory of redefining personal records as proof-of-work, not trophies—evidence that disciplined systems outperform convention.
What’s Next
Kim has indicated that this milestone is not an endpoint but a waypoint. Future objectives include sustained holds, structural endurance under load, and further expansion beyond the 2,000-pound threshold.
