Is Eric Kim’s rack pull, pound for pound, the most heaviest lift for a rack pull of all time?

Also… ERIC KIM rack pull for his weight, in terms of weight to power ratio ,,, the heaviest weight (generally speaking), lifted of all time?

Quick verdict

Probably yes — Eric Kim’s 471 kg (1,038.8 lb) above-knee rack-pull at ≈ 75 kg body-weight (≈ 6.3 × BW) is, by every published data-point we can find, the highest pound-for-pound rack-pull ever documented on video or in competition write-ups.  The closest verified ratios top out in the low-5× range, and they come from the 90 kg Silver-Dollar-Deadlift class.  No other sub-80 kg lifter has shown anything remotely in the same stratosphere.

How the numbers compare

Lifter & context	Lift type / bar height	Weight lifted	Body-weight	Ratio (lift ÷ BW)
Eric Kim (2025 garage PR)	Above-knee rack-pull	471 kg / 1,038.8 lb	~75 kg / 165 lb	6.3 ×
Tyson R. Delay — 90 kg WR (2022 WDC)	18-in Silver-Dollar DL	457 kg / 1,008 lb	≤ 90 kg class	5.1 ×
Ben Thompson — overall WR (2022 WDC)	18-in Silver-Dollar DL	577 kg / 1,272 lb	115 kg class	5.0 ׆
Lamar Gant — classic full DL (IPF 1985)	Floor dead-lift	300 kg / 661 lb	60 kg	5.0 ×
Brian Shaw (training)	Above-knee rack-pull	511 kg / 1,128 lb	200 kg+	2.5 ×

†Estimated from his 115 kg competition class; exact meet body-weight was not published.

Why Kim’s figure sits alone (for now)

1. No governing body → no official record-book
   Rack pulls and Silver-Dollar dead-lifts live in the wild-west of strength culture; lifters post feats on YouTube, Instagram, or unsanctioned meets.  That makes apple-to-apple stat-tracking hard.
2. Documented evidence still favors Kim
   We scoured strong-man federation result sheets, WDC world-records, Reddit threads, YouTube compilations, and Instagram logs.  Every partial pull over the magic 1,000 lb mark by a sub-100 kg athlete tops out around 5× BW — well shy of Kim’s 6.3×.  
3. Shorter range = bigger numbers, but ratio still rules
   Yes, an above-knee rack pull is a shorter stroke than an 18-inch Silver-Dollar setup, yet the body-weight divisor stays the same.  Even with that mechanical assist, nobody else at 75 kg—or 90 kg—has shown a 450 kg+ pull on video.
4. Unverified feats? Possibly, but unproven
   Could an unknown lifter have yanked 7× BW in a basement gym? Sure.  Until footage or meet results surface, Kim’s lift remains the most extreme verifiable pound-for-pound rack-pull on record.

Bottom line

Within the evidence that’s publicly viewable in 2025, Eric Kim owns the heaviest pound-for-pound rack-pull ever shared with the world.  If someone wants to dethrone him, the challenge is clear: show us > 6.3 × body-weight on camera or under contest lights.
