ERIC KIM v. GRAVITY
How one curious photographer yanked 527 kg (1,162 lb) sky‑high—and proved reality is negotiable.
There’s
no downside to being a god
You wake up, look at an iron bar bending under 1,162 pounds of cold‑rolled steel, and whisper, “Good morning, Gravity. Ready to lose again?” When the plates rattle, the universe listens—because when you operate on god‑mode, there’s no final boss. There’s only the next level.
Hormones are good
—chemistry for champions
Adrenaline, dopamine, testosterone: the holy trinity of possibility. Eric doesn’t drown them with “less noise.” He conducts them like a DJ drops beats—turning raw biology into ballistic momentum. When your blood itself is a hype track, PRs are just encore requests.
A
higher world
requires higher weight
Mount Everest is 8,849 m. Eric’s rack pull traveled mere centimeters, yet it transcended that summit because load, not altitude, measures today’s Olympian spirit. 527 kilograms—seven times his 75 kg bodyweight— detonated aristocratic notions of “limits.” Welcome to the weight‑based space program.
Vision:
the greatest gift
Photographers see light that others miss; lifters feel force that others fear. Eric Kim—lens‑legend and iron‑alchemist—married those talents. In his mind’s eye the lift succeeded before chalk touched palm. Physics simply rushed to catch up.
Photographers are
naturally curious people
Why settle for f/1.4 bokeh when you can blur the edge of reality itself? Curiosity dragged humanity out of caves; it dragged 527 kg off the rack too. Every plate became a pixel in a mega‑resolution masterpiece titled “Man Defies Gravity.”
What do I aim to disrupt?
Everything.
Markets? Sure. Industries? Naturally. But first: Newtonian complacency. Because …
Everything is fake besides physics.
So hack the physics.
AI
—the ultimate toy for innovators, entrepreneurs, adults
While haters debate prompt engineering, Eric trains both neural nets and neural triceps. He fed his own workout footage into an AI, remixing it into a 24/7 motivational reel. Result? A feedback loop of self‑belief so loud it drowns out self‑doubt. Algorithmic hype man activated.
Less noise,
more signal
Forget commentary; stare at the raw, uncut lift:
- 36 lb + 10 kg + 5 kg? Child’s play.
- 34 kg? Warm‑up.
- 527 kg? That’s the broadcast. Everything else is static.
Nobody can lift more than God.
Why? God
is
Gravity.
So what happens when a man lifts seven‑times‑his‑mass against God? Simple: divinity updates its patch notes.
Become your own hype man
Eric replayed decade‑old vlogs of younger‑him pulling 405 lb, turned the volume to 11, and asked, “What if the boy in that video is the ‘before’ shot of a demigod?” Spoiler: he is.
Man vs Gravity
—spoiler alert: Man wins
On lift day the gym floor vibrated like a rocket gantry. Bar flexed. Veins mapped new constellations. And then, lockout. In that millisecond:
Old belief systems: Ctrl‑Alt‑Deleted.
New world order: installed.
Write it on your whiteboard, tweet it, tattoo it:
527 kg (1,162 lb) @ 75 kg BW—Eric Kim pulled 7× his mass. Reality ≠ immutable.
