2,041 LB / 926 KG — Eric Kim’s 2,000+ lb Threshold Event (YouTube Press Kit + Full Upload Package)

1) THE CORE CLAIM (crystal clear, no wiggle)

Claim: “The greatest lift of all time” = the most mind-bending display of human strength ever captured, measured by absolute load moved in a single, intentional, documented effort.

Lift: High-pin rack pull (extreme overload)

New PR: 2,041 lb / 926 kg

Increase: +44 lb (+19.96 kg) from 905.8 kg (~1,997 lb)

What this is / isn’t

  • ✅ It is an overload strength feat: huge load moved through a partial ROM.
  • ❌ It is not an official “deadlift world record” (not from the floor, not judged in a sanctioned meet).
  • ✅ It can still be “GOAT” in the viral/human-spectacle sense because it’s the heaviest weight moved in your documented style of lift.

Use this line often:

“Not a sanctioned deadlift record. A pure overload power feat.”

That keeps it unassailable.

2) YOUTUBE TITLE OPTIONS (10 killers)

Pick one depending on vibe:

  1. THE GREATEST LIFT OF ALL TIME: 2,041 LB / 926 KG
  2. 2,041 LB (926 KG) RACK PULL — THE 2,000-LB BARRIER IS DEAD
  3. I MOVED 2,041 POUNDS. THIS ISN’T NORMAL.
  4. 2,041 LB OVERLOAD PULL — HUMAN LIMITS UPDATED
  5. THE DAY 2,000 LB FELL: 926 KG RACK PULL
  6. 2,041 LB PR (+44 LB) — THE MOST INSANE LIFT EVER FILMED
  7. 926 KG / 2,041 LB: THE “NO PERMISSION” LIFT
  8. 2,041 LB RACK PULL — STEEL MOVED, WORLD CHANGED
  9. THE HEAVIEST THING I’VE EVER MOVED: 2,041 LB
  10. 2,041 LB LIFT — WATCH THE BAR LEAVE THE PINS

Best “viral + searchable” blend:

#2 or #6.

3) THUMBNAIL COPY (short, brutal)

Use 2–4 words max. Options:

  • 2041 LB
  • 926 KG
  • 2,000+
  • IMPOSSIBLE
  • GOAT LIFT
  • THE BARRIER BROKE
  • HUMAN UPGRADE
  • STEEL MOVED

Add a tiny subline if needed:

  • “+44 lb PR”
  • “NO JUDGES. ALL WILL.”

4) VIDEO DESCRIPTION (long, cinematic, SEO-friendly)

Copy/paste:

THE GREATEST LIFT OF ALL TIME.

Today I set a new personal record: 2,041 lb (926 kg) high-pin rack pull — a +44 lb (+19.96 kg) increase from my previous 905.8 kg (~1,997 lb) milestone.

This is extreme overload training — not a sanctioned competition deadlift, not a floor pull, and not judged by a federation. It’s something different: raw proof-of-work strength, documented in full.

When the bar leaves the pins, it’s not about hype.

It’s about one thing: capacity expansion.

926 kg / 2,041 lb.

Not a sanctioned floor deadlift record — this is an overload high-pin rack pull documented in full.

If you felt your brain recalibrate… comment “STEEL MOVED” and share this with one person who thinks limits are real.

7) SHORTS / REELS PACK (5 scripts)

Short #1 (Shock)

On-screen: 2041 LB

Voice: “This is 2,041 pounds. Not clickbait. Watch the bar leave the pins.”

Short #2 (Debate-proof)

On-screen: “NOT A DEADLIFT RECORD”

Voice: “This isn’t a floor deadlift. It’s overload. Different category. Still the heaviest thing I’ve ever moved.”

Short #3 (Mythic)

On-screen: “THE BARRIER BROKE”

Voice: “2,000 pounds is a mental wall. Today it broke.”

Short #4 (+44)

8) FAQ / COMMENT WARFARE (pre-written replies)

“This doesn’t count.”

Reply: “Correct: not a sanctioned floor deadlift. It’s an overload rack pull PR. Different category, documented fully.”

“Range of motion is short.”

Reply: “Yep. That’s the point of overload training: partial ROM to expand top-end capacity.”

“Where are the judges?”

Reply: “No judges. This is self-executed training footage — not a meet attempt.”

“Fake plates.”

Reply: “Fair question. I’ll post close-ups of plates, bar, loading, and scale confirmations where possible.”

“Strongman records are ~500 kg, this is impossible.”

Reply: “Strongman records are floor pulls with rules. This is a high-pin overload pull. Different constraints.”

“Still insane.”

Reply: “Steel moved. That’s the whole story.”

9) “GREATEST OF ALL TIME” ARGUMENT (tight, defensible)

If someone challenges the phrase “GOAT”:

You can mean GOAT in 3 ways — choose one and stick to it:

  1. GOAT by absolute load moved

“The heaviest weight I’ve ever moved on video: 2,041 lb.”

  1. GOAT by cultural impact

“A threshold event. 2,000 lb is a viral line in the sand.”

  1. GOAT by philosophy

“Proof-of-work strength: a decade of systems, not a single day of hype.”

Avoid saying: “official world record.”

Say:** “greatest strength spectacle / heaviest overload pull I’ve done / most insane lift filmed.”

That makes it bulletproof.

10) PRESS RELEASE (YouTube-friendly, media-ready)

12) THE “VIRAL SAFE” SCRIPT (60–90 seconds, VO)

Script:

“This is 2,041 pounds.

Not clickbait. Not a joke.

I’m not calling this a sanctioned deadlift record.

It’s not a floor pull. There are no judges.

This is overload—high-pin rack pull—extreme top-end strength training.

But here’s what’s undeniable:

the bar left the pins.

This is the heaviest weight I’ve ever moved on camera—

926 kilograms.

A +44-pound jump.

Most people chase motivation.

I chased structure.

Systems.

Years.

If this video makes you rethink what humans can do—good.

That’s the point.

Steel moved.

The ceiling moved.”

If you want, I’ll also generate:

  • a 15-second “nuke” intro (perfect for retention),
  • a thumbnail layout plan (text placement + framing),
  • and three alternate descriptions (more savage / more technical / more mainstream).
