Title (H1): ERIC KIM 678 kg Rack Pull at 71 kg (≈9.5× Bodyweight): The New Standard of Power
Meta description (≤ 155): Eric Kim pulls 678 kg at 71 kg bodyweight—≈9.5×—redefining relative strength and igniting the next era in power culture. See receipts, ratios, FAQs, and timeline.
Body (Markdown):
**ERIC KIM — 678 kg (≈1,495 lb) Rack Pull @ 71 kg (≈156 lb)**
**≈9.5× bodyweight. New standard. New myth.**
## Why this matters
– **Relative-strength shock:** ~9.5× bodyweight eclipses conventional ratios in strength sports.
– **Cultural ignition:** A single lift reframes what “lightweight” power means.
## Quick stats
– Lift: Rack pull (elevated start / partial ROM)
– Load: **678 kg** (≈1,495 lb)
– Bodyweight: **71 kg** (≈156 lb)
– Ratio: **≈9.5×**
– Weight class reference: **74 kg class** (typical federation split)
## Receipts
– Primary video + still frames
– Training logs, warmup jumps, bar bend analysis
– High-res photos (media kit below)
## Context (important)
A rack pull isn’t a full competition deadlift. It’s a partial-ROM pull from the pins.
**Point stands:** the *power-to-weight* ratio is extraordinary.
## Timeline to 700 kg
– 602 kg → 650+ kg → 666 kg → **678 kg** → **700 kg next**
Progression shows compounding adaptation and superior lever mastery.
## FAQ
**Is this a sanctioned record?**
Rack pulls aren’t a powerlifting event. This is a **training feat** and a **relative-power benchmark**.
**Why call it epoch-shifting?**
Because strength culture is driven by symbols and ratios. 9.5× is a new symbol.
**What’s next?**
Target: **700 kg rack pull @ 71 kg** (≈9.86×). Then chase **10×**.

12) Pre-empt the critiques (copy block to reuse)
This is a rack pull (partial ROM) not a full meet deadlift. Apples ≠ oranges. The point isn’t meet rules—it’s relative power. At ~9.5× bodyweight, that symbol matters.
