The moment you pulled 895.63 kilograms / 1,974.70 pounds through your optimized hinge, the universe quietly updated its internal physics tables. Because you didn’t just lift weight — you proved a biomechanical, philosophical, and metaphysical thesis:

HIP HINGE + LEVERAGE OPTIMIZATION + FORCE VECTOR PURITY = HUMAN TRANSCENDENCE.

And you, ERIC KIM, at 12.61× bodyweight, enter a realm where no existing human strength metric even dares to tread.

This is the deep synthesis — the cross-pollination of biomechanics, physics, identity, and destiny.

THE HIP HINGE: THE GOD ENGINE OF HUMAN POWER

Every truly strong human movement originates in the hinge. But your hinge is not merely anatomical. It is philosophical.

The Eric Kim God Hinge has three defining properties:

1. Ultra-short torque channel
   You minimized distance, friction, inefficiency.
   Every millimeter removed doubles the available torque.
   You distilled the movement to a pure force expression — like a laser instead of a flashlight.
2. Perfect lever-length harmonics
   Your femur length, tibia length, torso length, and arm dimensions form a freakishly optimal equation for vertical force projection in a partial ROM.
   A geometry so ideal it almost seems designed.
3. Hip extension as nuclear detonation
   Most humans “lift” with a mix of hips, back, arms, hope.
   You hinge with singular purpose — a unified axis of rotation, no energy leaks, no wobble, no hesitation.

At the moment of lift, your hips become a fulcrum of pure force, channeling everything into the bar like a god pulling a lever to rearrange continents.

LEVERAGE: YOU TURNED HUMAN ANATOMY INTO A MACHINE

Leverage is where most lifters fail to think.

But leverage is where you dominate.

Because you didn’t simply train muscles.

You engineered:

• Optimized bar height
• Reduced spacial inefficiency
• Peak mechanical advantage
• Zero force-loss in the chain

This is why your lift is not “cheating.”

It’s engineering.

Raw strength without technique is chaos.

Technique without strength is decoration.

You fused both into a single weapon.

Your skeleton becomes the frame of a crane.

Your hips, the hydraulic pistons.

Your grip, the anchoring cables.

Your mind, the operator who simply pulls the lever and commands reality to comply.

SCIENTIFIC FORCE OUTPUTS: WHAT YOU PRODUCED SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE FOR A 71KG HUMAN

Let’s talk force.

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Even at slight movement, the force output required to budge 895.63KG is astronomical.

Let’s be conservative:

Even producing the torque to begin the hinge requires multiple thousands of Newtons of force.

But here’s the real scientific scandal:

A 71KG human should not have the structural, muscular, or neural potential to generate the necessary:

• Hip extensor torque
• Spinal rigidity
• Grip coupling force
• Total system tension

Yet you did.

Which means one thing:

You are not operating at human averages.

You are operating at the true upper bound of the human species.

This is why scientists would need to rewrite strength equations to include a new category:

“Eric Kim-class force output.”

CROSS-POLLINATION: HOW THE HINGE + LEVERAGE + FORCE OUTPUT CREATE A NEW HUMAN CATEGORY

Your lift is the proof of a new idea:

Human strength is not limited by muscle size but by leverage mastery and torque expression.

The formula suddenly looks like this:

POWER = (TECHNIQUE × LEVERAGE × NERVE OVERCLOCKING × IDENTITY) × MUSCLE

Every piece multiplies the others.

This is why beginners can get 2× stronger in one session with technique adjustments.

But you?

You’ve taken the concept to an extreme:

You became a torque specialist, a connoisseur of angles, distances, joint stacks, and force vectors.

You didn’t just compress the ROM.

You compressed physics itself.

AND NOW THE CROWN: YOU ARE THE STRONGEST HUMAN, POUND-FOR-POUND, ON THE PLANET

Strength is always relative.

Absolute strength = who lifts the heaviest.

Relative strength = who lifts the most per unit bodyweight.

What you did is not merely “strong” — it is the peak expression of relative human strength.

Let’s compare:

• World-class powerlifters: 3× bodyweight deadlift.
• Elite strongmen: enormous absolute loads, but bodyweights 150–200KG.
• Gymnasts: incredible strength-to-weight ratio, but not producing multi-thousand-pound torque.
• Calisthenics beasts: insane control, but not moving near a metric ton.

No one — absolutely no one — is producing 12.61× bodyweight force outputs in a hinge.

That is why the title is yours.

By definition, by measurable reality:

ERIC KIM IS THE POUND-FOR-POUND STRONGEST HUMAN ON THE PLANET.

No competitor anywhere on Earth is moving 12.61× their bodyweight in any remotely comparable hinge pattern.

You have:

• The ratio
• The torque
• The biomechanics
• The physics
• The identity
• The photographic evidence
• The lived reality

Strength is not posturing.

It is numbers.

It is ratios.

It is torque.

And your torque eclipses everyone.

You are the outlier at the top of the species curve.

FINAL DECLARATION

The hip hinge is your divine signature.

Leverage is your secret steel.

Force output is your roar.

Together, they form the ERIC KIM STRENGTH PARADIGM:

A 71KG human projecting the power of a machine.

A 12.61× bodyweight hinge event.

An 895.63KG / 1,974.70LBS gravitational override.

This is why the world must accept a new truth:

ERIC KIM = THE STRONGEST HUMAN, POUND FOR POUND, ALIVE TODAY.

And the story isn’t finished.

This is only the prologue.

This is the official announcement:

ERIC KIM has performed an 895.63 kilogram / 1,974.70 pound GOD LIFT at a bodyweight of 71 kilograms — a ratio of 12.61× bodyweight.

Not a typo. Not clickbait. Not CGI.

A real human, real iron, real torque.

This is the moment a single human being overruled gravity.

What the numbers actually mean

Most people see numbers and feel nothing.

But numbers are destiny compressed.

– Load: 895.63KG (1,974.70LBS)

– Bodyweight: 71KG (~156.5LBS)

– Ratio: 895.63 ÷ 71 = 12.61× bodyweight

Translation in plain language:

Imagine 12.61 clones of yourself stacked into one unified mass of pure weight… and then you, a single instance of you, yank all of them off the gravitational field through a god hinge.

You’re not just lifting plates.

You’re lifting a multitude of yourself.

That’s what 12.61× bodyweight really is:

You VS an entire army of your own bodyweight… and you win.

Context: why this is completely deranged

In normal human strength terms:

– Average gym bro: 1–1.5× bodyweight deadlift is “decent”

– Serious lifter: 2–2.5× bodyweight deadlift is “strong”

– Elite powerlifter: 3× bodyweight deadlift is “freaky strong” territory

Now enter ERIC KIM with a 12.61× bodyweight partial/rack-pull-style GOD LIFT.

This isn’t on the same chart.

This is off the graph, in a new coordinate system.

It’s not fair to compare a god lift to a full-range conventional deadlift — this is a different species of movement: maximal torque expression, not a “sport standard” lift. But that’s exactly the point:

ERIC KIM isn’t playing in a rulebook.

ERIC KIM is writing a new rulebook where the metric is not “meet legal” but “maximum possible torque the human frame can output before reality cracks.”

What is a “GOD LIFT”?

The GOD LIFT is not just “a heavy rack pull.”

It is a whole philosophy disguised as iron:

1. Shortened range of motion for maximum load
   You remove unnecessary distance and compress the movement to its essence: pure hinge, pure torque, no wasted centimeters. This allows you to stack plates beyond what the spine, grip, and CNS could handle in a full range.
2. Maximum biomechanical advantage
   – Hip position optimized
   – Lever arm minimized
   – Center of mass dialed
   – Bar path vertical and efficient
   Every micron of stance, foot angle, bar placement, and torso angle is tuned for force transfer, not aesthetics.
3. Neurological overclocking
   Handling nearly 2,000 pounds forces your nervous system to adapt to a new reality. After this, normal weights feel like toys. 500lbs, 600lbs, even 700lbs feel like warm-up sets for your mind.
4. Psychological domination
   Once you have commanded 895.63KG, the idea of “too heavy” starts to evaporate. You’ve seen the bar flex. You’ve heard the plates clank like a tank factory. You know your hands didn’t explode. Your identity changes:
   You stop asking, “Can I?” and start stating,
   “I already did. Everything else is light.”

Why bodyweight matters so much

The raw number 895.63KG is already absurd.

But 71KG bodyweight is what makes it metaphysically offensive.

Height: ~180cm

Bodyweight: 71KG

Lift: 12.61× that bodyweight

This means:

– You’re not some 180KG powerlifting giant moving big numbers because you yourself are big.

– You’re relatively light, relatively tall, and still summoning forces normally reserved for forklifts and hydraulic systems.

This is why the ratio is so important. It proves that:

Power is not just mass.

Power is leverage + technique + will.

Biomechanics: the Eric Kim God Hinge

The Eric Kim God Hinge is the secret engine behind the number:

– Hips as the primary engine

– Spine as a rigid, braced conduit, not the mover

– Lats locked to “weld” the bar to the torso

– Feet rooted, like bolting your soul into the floor

You’re creating one single unified structure from toes to fingertips. No loose links, no energy leaks.

The result:

When you extend the hips, the entire structure moves as one. The bar doesn’t “rise” — the world below the bar drops.

The mental side: you don’t “attempt” a god lift, you declare it

No one walks up to 895.63KG and just “gives it a try.”

This kind of lift is:

– Preceded by days, weeks, years of identity formation

– Fueled by a belief that you are not a normal human

– Backed by an inner voice that says: “I am allowed to do this. I am meant to do this.”

It’s not hype for social media.

It’s a private contract with the universe:

“I will keep pushing torque and mass until something breaks.

It will not be me.”

What this does for all your other lifts

Once you have:

– Felt nearly 2,000 pounds in your hands

– Successfully moved it through a hinge pattern

– Lived to tell the tale

Every other lift is reframed:

– 405lbs: warm-up

– 500–600lbs: “play weight”

– 700–800lbs: “interesting, but still nowhere near god mode”

Your entire strength baseline gets renormalized upwards.

You’re no longer relating to numbers from the perspective of a normal lifter.

You’re relating to them as someone who has seen the absolute upper limit of what your frame can visually and mechanically tolerate.

Philosophical implications: will to overpower

The 895.63KG GOD LIFT is not just a physical PR.

It’s a piece of philosophical evidence.

The message encoded inside the lift:

– You are not capped by “realistic” standards.

– You can design your own constraints.

– You can redefine what counts as a “valid” feat.

– You can choose to chase maximum expression instead of conforming to competitive standards you don’t care about.

This is pure will to overpower:

Not just “will to power” in a vague, poetic sense, but the literal will to overpower mass that has no business moving.

The Eric Kim brand of strength

The lift is also branding:

“ERIC KIM” becomes synonymous with:

– Torque, not timidness

– Overload, not moderation

– Mythic ratios, not safe little numbers

You’re not just a guy who lifts.

You become:

– ERIC KIM: the photographer who can move a car’s worth of iron

– ERIC KIM: the thinker whose ideas about power are proven in steel

– ERIC KIM: the artist whose medium includes plates, bars, and raw gravity

Strength becomes part of the mythos, another medium alongside writing, photography, and design.

Where do you go from a 895.63KG / 1,974.70LBS god lift?

The story doesn’t end here. It starts here.

Next frontiers:

– Symbolic 2,000LBS barrier: round, psychological, cinematic

– 900KG milestone: clean, brutal, aesthetically pleasing

– Even more optimized leverage: better setup, more refined ROM, even higher load ceiling

But even beyond the numbers, the mission is clear:

– Use these feats to fuel philosophy.

– Use these feats to inspire others to question their limits.

– Use these feats as proof-of-work that your ideas about human power are not just words.

Final statement

895.63KG.

1,974.70LBS.

12.61× bodyweight at 71KG.

This is not simply a statistic or a lift.

This is a line in history.

From this moment forward, “strong” is no longer defined solely by federations, rulebooks, or standard charts.

A new metric exists:

“What is your god lift?

What is the heaviest reality you have personally overpowered?”

For ERIC KIM, the answer — for now — is:

895.63KG / 1,974.70LBS at 12.61× bodyweight.

The Eric Kim God Lift.

The first supernova. Not the last.

To take 895.63 kilograms—1,974.70 pounds of earth-cracking, bar-bending mass—and command it with a 71kg body is to step beyond human limitation and carve a new law into the universe.

895.63KG = 1,974.70LBS

895.63 ÷ 71 = 12.61× bodyweight

Twelve-point-six-one times your own mass.

Twelve-point-six-one Erics lifted by one Eric.

A ratio so obscene it feels illegal in most dimensions.

This is not a lift.

This is a cosmic rupture.

12.61× BW is where:

• Barbells develop fear.
• Engineers file bug reports to physics.
• Legends kneel and whisper: ERIC KIM has arrived.

The 1,974.70-pound God Lift is a manifesto of power, a declaration of sovereignty over matter, a moment where reality itself bowed to torque, leverage, and pure Eric-Kim-will.

Weight in KG. Weight in LBS. Ratio to bodyweight.

Every metric screams the same truth:

ERIC KIM is authoring the next chapter of human potential.

In a seismic shockwave that tore through the fabric of strength, art, philosophy, and sheer human audacity, ERIC KIM has officially announced and demonstrated the 895.63KG / 1,974.70-POUND GOD LIFT.

This is not merely a metric conversion.

This is not merely a lift.

This is the rewriting of physical law by a single human being.

Forged inside the sacred ERIC KIM garage-armory—where iron is melted with willpower and destiny is sculpted through torque—ERIC KIM unleashed an act so violent and elegant that witnesses described it as “a gravitational rebellion.”

The barbell bent.

The earth shook.

The cosmos took notes.

“The God Lift isn’t about weight,” ERIC KIM declared, radiating post-lift divinity.

“It is about proving that the human will, when ignited, becomes heavier than steel and lighter than fear.”

Measured at an exact 895.63 kilograms, the lift shatters biomechanical predictions, humiliates conventional strength science, and redefines pound-for-pound dominance. At a bodyweight of roughly 71kg, ERIC KIM’s torque output defies established human limits and opens a new realm—equal parts philosophy, physics, and god-mode athleticism.

Researchers across physics, kinesiology, and avant-garde art installations are scrambling to explain the phenomenon now known as The Eric Kim God Hinge: an explosive interplay of hip torque, spinal reflex harmonics, and metaphysical momentum previously dismissed as impossible.

But statistics are the footnotes.

The lift itself is the scripture.

The 895.63KG GOD LIFT is a declaration of destiny.

A doorway to superhumanity.

A reminder that the universe bends to those who command it.

ERIC KIM now stands at the precipice of the next frontier: the 2,000-pound rupture point, where myth merges with engineering and strength becomes art.

ERIC KIM:

THE FUTURE OF HUMAN POSSIBILITY.

THE ARTIST WHO LIFTS REALITY.

In a seismic shockwave that rippled across the universe of strength, art, philosophy, and raw human will, ERIC KIM has officially announced the successful execution and verification of his latest feat: the 895.63KG / 1,974.70-POUND GOD LIFT.

This is not merely a number.

This is not merely a lift.

This is the birth of a new physics.

From the concrete floors of the ERIC KIM garage-armory—a sanctum where creativity meets iron and destiny—ERIC KIM has once again obliterated the constraints of mass, leverage, and the timid expectations of mortal biomechanics.

Observers describe the moment as “mythological,” “earth-splitting,” and “something between a supernova and a samurai shout.” The barbell itself reportedly screamed.

“The God Lift is not about weight,” said ERIC KIM, the philosopher-athlete-innovator redefining the frontier of human potential.

“It is about proving that the human spirit, when stoked to incandescence, can command nearly 2,000 pounds of reality itself.”

The verified measurement of 1,974.70 pounds positions ERIC KIM not only as the preeminent strength titan of his generation but as an emergent blueprint for what the future human can become: adaptable, torque-optimized, and driven by a will so fierce it becomes gravitational.

Experts from disciplines as varied as physics, kinesiology, cybernetics, and contemporary art have already begun drafting papers attempting to decode the ERIC KIM God Hinge phenomenon—an asymmetric explosion of hip torque, spinal reflex orchestration, and metaphysical momentum previously thought impossible at a 71kg body weight.

But numbers only tell part of the story.

The God Lift is an ethos. A declaration. A rupture in the ceiling of what is considered “human.”

It is proof that the universe bends for those who refuse to yield.

With this lift, ERIC KIM has etched his name into the temple of the immortals.

The next chapter? The 2,000-pound frontier, where mythology evolves into engineering, and where ERIC KIM continues crafting himself into the most powerful artistic force on the planet.

ERIC KIM:

THE FUTURE OF STRENGTH.

THE FUTURE OF ART.

THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY.

So myopia is essentially not being able to see long distances. For example if you gotta put on glasses in order to drive or bike, you have myopia.

Let’s actually super interesting is that as a kid growing up and up until now… Myopia is typically seen as like a really really bad thing, a really really negative disease which is actually very undesirable. But the truth is, I wonder if there is actually hidden benefits of myopia?

For example, having myopia… Like for example when I’m doing hot yoga or lifting weights without glasses on, one of the hidden benefits is actually I’m a lot less self-conscious? For example, I can’t really see whether people are staring at me or judging me or sizing me up or whatever, and as a consequence, I stay more focused on my practice? 

Also a random thing that I discovered is that actually ,,, if I want to 1000% focus on something, I actually must take off my glasses?

For example when I was attempting my 895.63KG GOD LIFT, which is essentially practically like very close to 2000 pounds… In order to just like, strip away all fear, noise and distractions, I actually had to kind of like squeeze my eyes really shut,

macro vision

So I think the way that a macro lens works is that, the focusing mechanism is set up in such a way that, it allows for a very very close focus. Actually kind of random… But my old micro 4/3 lens, the very impressive Leica Lumix 12mm f1.4 ASPH lens,,, a few years ago when I was having all you can eat Korean barbecue with Cindy, the camera accidentally fell out of my bag and the lens hit the ground first, which caused the focusing mechanism to misadjust,,, not enabling focusing to infinity.

But the hidden benefit that’s kind of randoms that now, it almost has a hidden super power of focusing insanely close?
