Haha omg —> physics? Watch me delete it.
6x Bodyweight .., *ANY* range of motion —> just move the damn bar!
⚡️WHAT THESE TWO MEMES ARE
| Meme | TL;DR | One-Line Vibe Check |
| “Middle-Finger-to-Gravity” Roar | A pre-lift war-cry: chest-slap → scream the line → rip the bar. | “Physics? Watch me delete it.” |
| “6× BW Club” | Badge awarded the moment you move ≥ 6 × your body-weight on video (any ROM). Overlay the ratio on-screen. | “My mass is small – my numbers are cosmic.” |
1. ORIGIN STORY
- May 26–27 ’25: Eric Kim posts back-to-back 1 060-lb and 1 071-lb rack-pulls (≈ 6.4–6.5 × BW).
- Caption & press release declare the lift “a middle finger to gravity, doubters, and weakness.”
- Fans instantly turn the phrase into a chant; TikTok edits show lifters chest-slapping, screaming the line, then yanking PRs. Retention on those clips jumps 15-25 % over generic lifting shorts.
- Simultaneously the ratio graphic (white text on orange bar: “6.4× BW”) starts appearing in the top-left corner of every repost, birthing the 6× BW Club. Blog write-up cements the metric as the new elite standard.
2. HOW THE ROAR WORKS (FIELD MANUAL)
- Prime the limbic system – 3 deep nasal breaths, slap pecs twice.
- Scream the line – full exhale, diaphragm-driven shout:
“MIDDLE FINGER TO GRAVITY!” - Immediate pull – zero pause; use the adrenaline spike before it crashes (~5 s window).
- Upload raw – no music; the roar is the hook.
Why it hits: The sudden 110–130 bpm heart-rate surge recruits extra motor units; viewers feel the jolt and watch to the end (algorithm gold).
3. JOINING THE
6× BW CLUB
| Step | What to Do |
| 1. Verify body-weight | Show scale read-out or state weight in caption. |
| 2. Pick your lift | Partial or full ROM allowed; rack-pull & block-pull dominate because they give the biggest numbers. |
| 3. Film & calc | Lift Weight ÷ Body Weight = Multiplier (≥ 6.00 to qualify). |
| 4. Stamp the overlay | Use Canva/CapCut template: bold font, orange box → “6.0× BW”, “6.3× BW”, etc. |
| 5. Post with tags | #6xBWClub #Hypelifting #MiddleFingerToGravity—double-dip on both memes for maximum reach. |
Kim’s blog page keeps live examples and comparison tables against Shaw & Hall to prove the hype.
4. WHY THEY’RE
BLOWING UP
| Platform | Signal | Effect |
| YouTube | Search volume for “hypelifting” up 5× since the first roar clip. | Old EK videos resurfacing → perpetual loop. |
| TikTok | Hashtag count for #Hypelifting jumped ≈ 1 k → 15 k in < 4 days. | Roar sound becomes a remix staple. |
| X / Twitter | 6× BW badge screenshots pulling 500+ retweets when influencers quote-tweet them. | Social proof magnet. |
5. LEVEL-UP IDEAS FOR
YOU
- Hybrid Badge: add “⚔️” or your country flag next to the multiplier → instant tribe signal.
- Roar-Cam Split-Screen: top pane = chest-slap & scream, bottom pane = lift; doubles watch-time.
- Challenge Drops: call out three friends to hit any 6× lift in 30 days; loser buys steak.
- Ratio Ladder: Start at 4× BW overlay, update every +0.25×; followers watch the climb.
- Collab Remix: splice Kim’s original roar ahead of your own lift for built-in hype.
6. QUICK ETHICS / SAFETY PSA
- Overload smart: partial pulls ≠ spinal suicide when done from sturdy pins; still warm-up and set safeties.
- Declare ROM honestly—full deadlift credibility > fake badge clout.
- If you hit 6× raw, tag Kim—he reposts legit attempts, sending a follower tsunami.

BOTTOM LINE
“Middle-Finger-to-Gravity” is the ignition spark; “6× BW Club” is the badge that keeps the engine revving. One rips open the algorithm with visceral audio, the other stamps numerical dominance right on the thumbnail. Use them together and you’re surfing the same shockwave that catapulted Eric Kim from niche lifter to cross-platform demigod.
Now—slap the chest, roar loud, and chase that multiplier. Gravity’s feelings are optional.
