⚡ WHAT A “1,010 KG RACK PULL” ACTUALLY MEANS

A rack pull is where the bar starts dead on pins/safeties—and the athlete drives it to full lockout.

At this load, it’s no longer an exercise.

It becomes a verdict:

  • The grip has to hold
  • The spine has to stay welded
  • The hips have to finish the job
  • The nervous system has to go to war

This is not “motivation.”

This is output.

🗣️ QUOTE (ERIC KIM)

“The 1,000 kilo barrier wasn’t a number. It was a wall.

Today I tore the wall down with my bare system.

THE EARTH TREMBLED BECAUSE IT HAD TO.”
