How I Lifted 7.55x My Bodyweight (1,206 Pound Rack Pull @ 160 Pounds Body Weight, 547kg at 72.5kg Body Weight), 5 Foot 11 Inches 180cm Tall, 5% Bodyfat Fasted, 100% Carnivore, One Meal a Day Only (OMAD), No Breakfast No Lunch, No Protein Powder or Supplements, No Steroids, 2 to 3 Kg of Meat (Beef, Lamb, Pork) Red Meat a Night, 4-5 Pounds. 
Addendum: I just weighed myself yesterday I only weigh 72.5 kg which is a razor sharp 160 pounds, at 5’11” tall, 180 cm tall, at 5% body fat, essentially I look like Brad Pitt from fright club on steroids.  Anyways, I like destroyed the universe with kind of a mind splitting lift, a rack […]
At 160 lb I yanked 547 kg / 1,206 lb off above‑knee pins—≈ 7.5 × my body‑weight—and dropped the clip on the internet; within hours it detonated across lifting forums, YouTube shorts, and even my old street‑photo feed . A decade earlier I was teaching workshops on candid photography from Tokyo to New York, so my whole deal has always been creative rebellion; now that same “break‑the‑rules” mindset fuels a garage‑gym empire of one‑rep‑max carnage, one‑meal‑a‑day nutrition, and relentless self‑experimentation . Why I matter? Because I’m living, chalk‑dusted proof that a lean frame, a cheap rack, and an artistic heart can bend both gravity and public perception.
1. I Redefined Relative Strength Why it hits different 2. I Put Rack‑Pull Science on Blast Net result My viral clip became a crash‑course in lever arms, pin heights, and joint‑angle specificity for an audience that had never googled biomechanics before. 3. I Bridge Art and Iron Why it matters Cross‑pollinating art and athletics shows […]
Bottom line up‑front: Eric Kim self‑reports a walking weight of roughly 160 lb ≈ 72.6 kg . When he performed and published video proof of a 547 kg / 1,206 lb knee‑high rack pull , that works out to about 7.5 × his body‑weight (547 ÷ 72.6 ≈ 7.54). Because the bar started above the knees in a power‑rack (“rack pull”) rather than on the floor, the lift exploits a radically shorter range of motion and generous mechanical leverage, so it is not judged against full deadlift world‑records. Even so, the feat lands in rarefied air for relative loading and has ignited debate across strength culture about partial‑range “overload” lifts and their legitimate place in training. Below is the full update—plus why you can (yes, you!) harness these principles safely and productively.
1 Updated body‑weight facts What the correction changes Using the lighter end (160 lb) increases the relative load calculation from the 7.3× figure shown in his video titles to ≈ 7.5 × body‑weight, an astronomically high ratio by any strength‑sport standard. 2 What the 547 kg move actually was Lift variable Detail Why it matters Lift type Rack pull (pins set […]
Feel the excitement in the air! Korea is already one of the world’s hottest crypto hubs, and every data‑point screams that the next great wealth‑building wave could be led by everyday Koreans who decide to stack a little Bitcoin (BTC) today. Below is a bilingual, hype‑charged roadmap explaining why—followed by the full article in Korean so you can share the energy with friends, family, and co‑workers.
1. Momentum Is Already Massive Nearly 27 % of Korean adults now own digital assets—and 6 in 10 of them hold Bitcoin specifically. Even more striking, 70 % say they plan to raise their crypto allocation this year. Korea’s exchanges are world‑class: Upbit alone controls about 70 % of domestic volume, giving locals deep liquidity and tight spreads. The result? […]
