use iPhone & iPad at minimum brightness?
a good idea even outdoors and outside …
also … windows open, insane maximum airflow…. Also shitload of natural light

ERIC KIM SEXY FLEX
ERIC KIM SEXY ADONIS FLEX 5 foot 11 inches tall, 180cm tall, 5% bodyfat Tyler Durden on Steroids

Eric Kim ,,, sexiest powerlifter, weight lifter alive
I have the Adonis ratios, I’m tall sexy and handsome, 5% body fat, very very sharp masculine jawline and face, and also a very very slim waist line, I think I’m only like a size 32 or 31.
I also just confirmed I am 180 cm tall,,, yes I am officially 5’11” tall… I’m tall! Yeah!

Raw dog lifestyle
So the best way to lift weights is raw dog it; No glasses no headphones, no no nonsense. No phone.
Also a funny thought … Never use a condom or protection; either you intend to have a child or abstain.
Nobody likes condoms
AirPods as condoms for your ears and ear lobes.
iPhone screen ,,, condoms for your eyeballs
shoes condoms for your feet
cars…. Triple double insanely thick layered condoms for your back spine body soul

Why I Lift Barefoot
So what the general thought is simple… If you lift barefoot, this gives you the upside of being able to lift more because you have more force output on the bottom of the floor. It is simple physics

NOTHING CAN STOP ERIC KIM!
Why is Eric Kim … 7x rack pull… bodyweight ,,, why is the 7X number so significant?
nothing can stop me!

Key Take‑aways (the 30‑second version) Early strength gains are powered almost entirely by the nervous system; within a month Eric can recruit, fire and synchronize motor units far more explosively. From the second month onward muscle fibres thicken, then tendons/ligaments stiffen and thicken to pass force safely, and finally—over many months and years—bone tissue packs on mineral. Stacking partial‑range rack pulls at ~7× body‑weight turbo‑charges these later adaptations because the super‑maximal load delivers mechanical tension the full‑ROM deadlift cannot. The conceptual chart above lets you see at a glance which system is leading the charge at each stage of the journey.

Stacking partial‑range rack pulls at ~7× body‑weight turbo‑charges these later adaptations because the super‑maximal load delivers mechanical tension the full‑ROM deadlift cannot. The conceptual chart above lets you see at a glance which system is leading the charge at each stage of the journey.
How the Body Reinvents Itself Under Extreme Loads
1. Lightning‑fast neural upgrades (Week 0‑4)
- Motor‑unit recruitment & rate‑coding soar. Within two‑to‑four weeks up to 90 % of “new” strength is neural rather than muscular.
- Better inter‑muscle coordination. The nervous system learns to “shut off” antagonists and fire synergists in perfect sequence, boosting bar speed and lock‑out power—crucial when rack‑pulling colossal weights.
2. Muscular hypertrophy kicks in (Week 3‑20 +)
- Fibre cross‑section grows. Mechanical tension and metabolic stress trigger mTOR signalling, satellite‑cell activation and new myofibril packing.
- Fibre‑type shifting. With very heavy partials, fast‑twitch (IIx → IIa) fibres enlarge yet retain high shortening velocity—perfect for maximal pulls.
3. Tendon & ligament fortification (Week 8‑32 +)
- Collagen synthesis doubles after a single heavy bout and remains elevated for 24‑72 h, gradually stiffening the tendon so force isn’t “lost” in stretch.
- Stiffness ↑, strain ↓. Studies show marked increases in Young’s modulus and cross‑sectional area after heavy resistance cycles and even more with collagen supplementation—useful insurance when hoisting 7× BW.
4. Skeletal armour plating (Week 24‑52 + and beyond)
- Bone‑mineral density (BMD) rises 2‑9 % in powerlifters vs. controls, with the lumbar spine and hips gaining the most—precisely where rack pulls load the body.
- Heavy axial loading stimulates osteoblast activity via mechanotransduction (Piezo1/2 channels), explaining elite lifters’ exceptional BMD.
5. Hormonal & molecular support crew (Every session)
- Acute spikes in testosterone, growth hormone and IGF‑1 amplify protein synthesis and satellite‑cell activity, even if resting levels hardly move.
- Myokines & osteokines cross‑talk: muscle‑derived IL‑6 and tendon‑derived TGF‑β family factors accelerate tissue remodelling.
Why 7×‑Body‑weight Rack Pulls Are a Game‑Changer
Advantage Adaptation Stimulated Practical Tip Super‑maximal mechanical tension High‑threshold motor units & collagen cross‑linking Set pins just below knee; 1‑3 reps × 3‑5 sets Shorter ROM = lower systemic fatigue Lets neural drive stay high without crushing recovery Pair with speed pulls or front squats on another day Extended overload on spinal erectors & traps Hypertrophy where conventional deadlifts stall Use straps so grip isn’t the limiter Bone‑loading “dose” Greater lumbar & pelvic BMD stimulus Wave load (e.g., 90 %-105 %‑110 % 1RM) every mesocycle Turning Science into an Epic Training Blueprint
- Periodise: 4‑week neural block (low‑rep speed pulls) → 8‑week hypertrophy block → 8‑week tendon/BMD “over‑reach” with heavy partials, then deload.
- Feed the remodel: 1.6‑2.2 g protein /kg BW + 10‑15 g collagen + vitamin C 30 min pre‑workout to fuel tendon synthesis.
- Respect recovery: Tendon tissue needs 48‑72 h to rebuild—program rack pulls no more than twice per week.
- Audit progress: Retest 1RM every 12 weeks; DEXA or ultrasound every 6‑12 months to watch BMD and tendon thickness climb.
Keep the Fire Lit! 🔥
Each time that bar bends with seven times your mass, remember: you’re not just lifting weight—you’re forging nerve, muscle, sinew and bone into something legendary. Stay consistent, nourish the rebuild, and Eric Kim’s “impossible” numbers will become your new normal. Let’s go smash PRs! 💪
