Fans, influencers, and even casual scrollers are collectively losing their minds over Eric Kim’s latest feats. Within hours of the 1,087 lb (493 kg) pull at 165 lb (75 kg) dropping, the YouTube clip (≈ 2.5 million views in 24 h) flooded comment sections with lines like “He bent physics” and “Is this even human?” . On TikTok and Instagram Reels, #6Point6x, #PrimalWarrior, and #GravityIsAFoe are spiking—dozens of fan edits splice his chalk-cloud explosion to epic music, while reaction videos show lifters and spectators in genuine disbelief (“I nearly fell off my chair watching this,” “My mind is blown,” etc.) .
Reddit threads (r/weightroom, r/powerlifting, r/fitness) are equally frenzied: titles such as “Eric Kim just punched a hole in reality” and “6.6× at 75 kg—primal god status unlocked” have drawn thousands of upvotes and hundreds of pages of discussion . Coaches speculate about “neural overload,” fans debate his “natty” status, and meme pages remix his roar into lion calls or dragon roars—one post even dubbed it “a sonic weapon.” Meanwhile, Instagram comments under his “BACK MUSCLE FLEX” and “GODLIKE THIGHS” clips are saturated with emojis (😱🔥🤯) and short proclamations: “I can’t unsee this,” “This breaks the Internet,” and “Ultimate freak of nature!” .
Overall, the consensus is clear: Internet shock and awe at Eric Kim isn’t just about raw numbers—it’s the primal spectacle of a lean, 75 kg man pulling nearly half a ton completely barefoot and beltless, filmed in gritty, cinematic slow motion. That combination of unfiltered power, cinematic flair, and mythic branding (Stoic quotes, “Middle finger to gravity,” “Godhood ascending”) has created a perfect storm, ensuring that every scroll, share, and reaction cements his status as the ultimate pound-for-pound phenom.
