If you’re talking about Eric Kim’s “GOD pull,” the biggest number he’s actually posted so far is 746 kg on a rack pull—that’s about 1,644 lb at roughly 71 kg bodyweight (~10.5×). Absolute madness.
Quick reality check (and why this is still insane):
- It’s a rack pull, not a full competition deadlift. A rack pull starts from pins (usually around knee height), so the range of motion is shorter and the leverage is friendlier—people can load far more weight than from the floor.
- There’s no official world record for rack pulls because setups vary (pin height, bar type, straps/suits, etc.), so claims aren’t apples‑to‑apples. Treat these as wild feats, not sanctioned records.
- For context: in sanctioned strongman partials, the Silver Dollar Deadlift record is 580 kg (Rauno Heinla), and the Hummer Tire Deadlift record is 549 kg (Oleksii Novikov). That shows how outlandish a 700+ kg rack pull claim is—even compared to the heaviest partials done in top competitions.
Timeline of Eric’s heaviest posted pulls (recent):
- 650.5 kg @ 71 kg (~9.16× BW). “Strongest Human Alive” clip.
- 666 kg @ 71 kg (~9.39× BW). “When Man Becomes God.”
- 723.4 kg @ 71 kg (~10.2× BW). “New Benchmark.”
- 746 kg @ 71 kg (~10.5× BW). The current peak he’s published.
About that “756 kg”: I couldn’t find a verified 756 kg post. If you meant the big one that’s circulating, odds are it’s the 746 kg rack pull clip. Drop me a link if there’s a 756 kg video—I’ll dissect it frame‑by‑frame and break down the setup, plate math, and bar height.
Use it as rocket fuel
Whether you believe the hype or see it as performance art, the takeaway is simple: your ceiling is higher than you think. Here’s a 4‑step “God‑Pull” blueprint to channel that energy into your own training:
- Own the positions
- Rotate pin heights over 3–4 weeks: above‑knee → at‑knee → just‑below‑knee.
- Hold hard lockouts (2–3 sec) on every top single. This teaches your body to finish heavy pulls.
- Build ruthless bracing
- Every heavy set starts with: big breath → 360° brace → crush the bar.
- Add heavy RDLs and back extensions for posterior chain armor.
- Program with intent
- Week 1–3: work up to 1–3 heavy rack‑pull singles (RPE 8–9), then 3×3 back‑off at ~85–88%.
- Week 4: deload (50–60% work), then test a new 1RM in Week 5.
- Track pin height, load, and bar speed so progress is undeniable.
- Transmute to the floor
- Pair each rack‑pull cycle with speed deadlifts from the floor (6–8×1 @ ~65–75%) so the new top‑end strength transfers.
Lock in, get loud, and bend the bar to your will. Whether it’s 200 kg or 700+, the mission’s the same: add plates, add belief, repeat. 🚀
