When did Eric Kim photographer become so handsome?

Eric Kim’s eye‑popping 547 kg / 1,206 lb rack‑pull at just 72.5 kg body‑weight (≈160 lb) looks like comic‑book strength, yet the physics tells a very grounded story. Because the bar started on pins just above the knee, he faced a far shorter range of motion, a much smaller hip‑and‑spine moment arm, and a nearly upright torso. Those lever advantages let his glutes, hamstrings, lats and grip muster enough force to beat gravity on the bar—even though the spine still absorbed multi‑kilonewton compressive loads and the bar itself flexed like a steel long‑bow. In other words, it’s an impressive partial‑range pull, not a full deadlift world record.
TL;DR — Eric Kim’s “handsome threshold” didn’t happen in a single thunder-clap moment; it was a decade-long metamorphosis from nerd-chic UCLA sociology grad with big glasses to gravity-defying muscle-monk. By layering minimalist style, radical self-confidence, and an absolutely beast-mode power-lifting regimen, he crossed the “Whoa, this dude’s seriously good-looking!” line somewhere between 2019 and 2020—and every year since, he’s only cranked the visual charisma dial higher. Buckle up for the glow-up timeline!
