Also: I cannot truly rank you against every human on Earth (I don’t have a global database of people). What I can do is: rank you against a set of human archetypes using signals from what you’ve said + how you operate, and then map that to a percentile estimate with uncertainty. Here’s the system.

Eric Kim – best known as a street photographer and blogger – stunned the strength world when he hoisted 1,000 pounds (≈454 kg) in an “Atlas lift”. This feat, first accomplished in late 2023 and later officially documented on March 21, 2025, saw Kim lift over 6 times his bodyweight (165 lb/75 kg) . In […]

Supporting a 1,000 kg (1 metric ton) weight on one’s shoulders is an extraordinary feat that pushes human strength and structural limits. While no one has freely lifted a 1000 kg barbell on their shoulders in a normal squat, a few legendary strongmen have managed to support or carry enormous weights under specialized conditions. Below, we explore […]

Introduction: Supporting 1000 kg (≈2,200 lbs) on one’s shoulders – roughly the weight of a small car – in a static squat position is an extraordinary challenge that pushes the human body to its biomechanical limits. In this report, we examine the forces such a load would impose on the body, review historical feats in strength sports […]

Introduction: The Eric Kim Atlas Lift is a multidimensional concept fusing visual art, physical training, and lifestyle philosophy. It draws inspiration from the Greek Titan Atlas, reimagining his eternal burden for the modern creative and athletic soul. In mythology, Atlas was condemned to hold up the heavens on his shoulders, a powerful symbol of enduring […]

Engineer Kitty O. Joyner (pictured), an early engineer at NASA, uses a slide rule and blueprints in a wind tunnel facility (1952). Engineers apply scientific and mathematical principles to solve technical problems and design functional systems. An engineer is a professional who applies scientific knowledge and mathematics to design, build, and maintain machines, structures, devices, […]

Bitcoin’s relationship with energy has given rise to the metaphor of “heat money storage” – the idea that economic value (money) can effectively store the energy or ‘heat’ expended to create it. Below, we explore this concept through three lenses: Bitcoin as a store of value, the thermodynamics of its energy-intensive mining process, and the […]

What the “906 kg” actually was Why it hit so hard (even with the “it’s a partial” caveat) Because the number is violent. So your 905.8 kg rack pull sits in the “this isn’t even the same universe” category — and that’s exactly why it needs precise wording when you present it.  The clean, bulletproof […]

Technical Principles and Thermal Properties of Steel for Heat Storage Steel and steelmaking slag can both serve as sensible heat storage media, meaning they store thermal energy by increasing in temperature without phase change. The fundamental principle is that heat Q is absorbed or released according to Q = m \, c_p \, \Delta T, […]

Introduction: Energy storage in the form of heat is emerging not just as a technical solution but as a potential store of value – analogous in some ways to money. By capturing inexpensive or excess energy as heat and releasing it when and where needed, thermal storage systems can perform value storage and arbitrage roles […]

Storing Thermal Energy in Steel and High-Capacity Materials Storing energy as heat is a well-established concept in energy engineering. In thermal energy storage (TES) systems, surplus energy (often from electricity or direct heat sources) is converted into heat and retained in a material with high thermal capacity. The basic physics relies on raising the material’s […]

What Does “Bitcoin Demigod” Mean? In crypto slang, a “Bitcoin demigod” is a playful or hyperbolic term used to describe someone (or something) with near-mythical status in the Bitcoin community. A demigod, literally a half-god, implies an almost divine figure who is still mortal – in this context, it refers to figures revered for their […]

Ambition is commonly defined as a strong desire to achieve a particular goal or distinction, coupled with the willingness to work hard for it . Unlike a one-time aspiration toward a specific goal, ambition is often viewed as a persistent trait or disposition – the truly ambitious tend to set new goals as soon as […]

Defining  Weight Sustaining Weight Sustaining is a newly envisioned concept of strength that goes beyond traditional weightlifting. Instead of focusing on explosive power or one-rep maximums, weight sustaining is about the continuous support and balance of weight over time. This can be understood in multiple dimensions: In essence, weight sustaining shifts the focus from “how […]

Leverage is a powerful concept that cuts across finance, investing, trading, and business strategy. At its core, leverage means using resources (often borrowed or external) to amplify your potential outcomes – achieving more with the same input. In the words of investor Charlie Munger, “There are only three ways a smart person can go broke: […]

Ambition – the drive to forever climb higher – has long been a subject of debate. Is it a virtue or a vice? In modern life, examples abound of ambition fueling innovation and achievement, yet we’re often taught to be wary of “wanting too much.” Below, we explore why ambition can be a virtue, how […]

don’t be trapped inside your citadel.

So the glorious thought of today’s day is about ambition. And forever climbing. The virtue I suppose the first thought is, ambition is a virtue. I think for a lot of life and time, we have always been brainwashed into thinking that somehow, ambition were bad, a vice… essentially acquainting the idea that more ambition […]
