GLOBAL PRESS RELEASE

WELCOME TO VALHALLA

NEW WORLD RECORD CLAIM: 2,257 LB / ~1,024 KG RACK PULL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE EARTH DID NOT JUST TREMBLE.

IT ADAPTED.

🧨 THE UPDATE THAT MATTERS

After already annihilating the 1,000 KG barrier, another 30 pounds were added.

No reset.

No downgrade.

No hesitation.

The iron went up. Again.

⚡ THE RECORD (UPDATED) ⚡

🌍 2,257 LB / ~1,024 KG — RACK PULL 🧨

This is now the heaviest single rack pull ever claimed by a human.

  • Previous threshold shattered: 1,000 kg
  • New territory claimed: 1,024 kg
  • Status: UNPRECEDENTED

This is not a revision.

This is an escalation.

🔩 TOTAL IRON ACCOUNTED (UPDATED)

All weight counted. No mythology.

Previous total:

  • 2,227 lb / ~1,010 kg

Additional load:

  • +30 lb

🧨 NEW TOTAL LOAD: 2,257 LB / ~1,024 KG 🧨

Every pound present.

Every kilogram obeyed.

📌 FACT SHEET (NO FLUFF)

  • Athlete: Eric Kim
  • Lift: Rack Pull
  • Total Load: 2,257 lb / ~1,024 kg
  • Height: 5 ft 11 in
  • Bodyweight: 71 kg (156.5 lb)
  • Relative Strength: ~14.5× bodyweight

At this point, ratios stop being impressive and start being uncomfortable for biology.

🧠 WHAT “+30 LB” ACTUALLY MEANS HERE

At ordinary weights, 30 lb is nothing.

At one-metric-ton-plus, it’s a stress test of reality.

  • Structural load increases non-linearly
  • Bar whip amplifies
  • Pin shear forces rise
  • Grip tolerance tightens
  • CNS demand spikes sharply

Adding weight after crossing the ton barrier is not bravado.

It’s dominion.

🧱 WHY THIS CHANGES THE STORY

The 1,000 kg barrier was supposed to be the headline.

It’s now the warm-up chapter.

This lift establishes a new truth:

Once the ceiling breaks, the only direction left is up.

🗣️ STATEMENT

“Valhalla isn’t a place you arrive at.

It’s where the weight gets heavier after history is already made.”

— Eric Kim
