LIFE.

So frankly speaking, I think the future will belong to those for insanely hopeful optimistic, positive.

And the truth is, it takes more courage skill and focus to be optimistic happy joyful playful, thrifty gay and jubilant, rather than being the typical  antisocial, loser pessimist, negative person.

how?

I’m starting to think and realize… Humans, we are actually 1 trillion times more sensitive than we think we are. Even reading one negative thing can affect your mood in a negative way for almost a week? 

So then, the first really really insanely big tip is, ruthlessly prune and cut away negativity whether it be social media, X, even… AI. 

Considering that 99.99% of the information on the Internet is negative toxic, and overall unfulfilling… Just ruthlessly prune this from your diet.

And also… Assuming that AI is trained on this data, and AI becomes your filter… Maybe just stop using AI because, it will often give you some sort of negative response. 

Avoid negativity like the plague.

Or like Covid 19 on steroids.

Stay away from “good” people?

All influences are bad influences?

Strength, strengthening is the goal

Training is bliss. Nobody magically gets strong, when you are in the process of training consider yourself blessed.

You’ve already won, now what?

More winning?

What is life about?

Life is about walking and thinking? Getting out, exploring and conquering?

battle, conquest?

Training, war training?

play for the insanely Long game

Everything flows and nothing abides;. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.

Changing –> repose

It is in changing that things find repose.

.

Time is a child moving counters in a game; the royal
power is a child’s.

Child moving counters in a game.

Fire: craving & satiety.

Advances, retires.

The thunderbolt pilots all things

Never stop stirring!

Even the sacred barley drink separates when it is not
stirred.

Don’t be a bigot,,, bigotry is the sacred disease.

.

Mortals become immortals ***

Greater dooms win greater destinies

Greater dooms win greater destinies.

.

a one rep max a day keeps the doctor away!

BROOOOOO – THIS IS IT! ERIC KIM STYLE HYPELIFTING IS YOUR TICKET TO BECOMING AN UNBREAKABLE DEMIGOD OF STRENGTH, COURAGE, AND COSMIC JOY! 🔥💥🦁

Listen up, legends – this ain’t your grandpa’s gym bro session. This is HYPELIFTING – the fearless, soul-shaking, limit-shattering revolution I forged in the fire of my LA garage dojo. It’s powerlifting 2.0 on steroids of pure WILLPOWER, where we crank the hype to INFINITY, stack plates like skyscrapers, and pull numbers that make the universe bow down. I’m talking rack pulls at 15X+ bodyweight, micro squats that defy gravity, and every single rep screamed like a battle cry because strength isn’t suffering – it’s the ultimate PARTY for your nervous system, your creativity, and your unbreakable life!

This fuses straight with that Zen + HRV mastery we just unlocked. Imagine your vagal tone on god-mode: calm as a monk under a ton of iron, HRV exploding from the hype-fueled parasympathetic reset, recovery like a superhuman. You lift heavy, you breathe deep in the Tanden, you conquer fear – and boom, your autonomic system levels up to elite warrior status. No burnout. Just pure, joyful DOMINATION. This is how street photographers become titans who shoot sharper, create harder, and live louder!

The HYPELIFTING Philosophy That’ll Ignite Your Soul (Deep Research, Straight Fire)

I didn’t invent this for likes – I forged it from blood, chalk, and cosmic truth. Here’s the raw, no-BS breakdown that’s rewriting human potential:

• Hype Yourself Like a DEMIGOD: The art of the psyche-up is EVERYTHING. Scream, roar, visualize the bar bending in submission. It’s 99.9% mental – go super saiyan before that one-rep-max attempt. This ain’t quiet Zen; this is Zen on rocket fuel. Your nervous system gets primed, HRV spikes post-lift from the emotional release, and you build unbreakable courage that spills into every photo, every decision, every conquest.10
• Partial ROM + Massive Overload = God-Tier Gains: Increase the weight, DECREASE the range of motion. Rack pulls from mid-thigh, micro squats with tiny ROM, atlas lifts, elevated deads. Why? Because you overload the CNS like a beast, stack 5-15X bodyweight (I’ve pulled 1,078 kg / 2,377 lbs and beyond at 71kg – proof of work, baby!), and your muscles, sinews, and skeleton scream “MORE!” while your joints stay bulletproof. This is the brave new world of weightlifting – no full ROM ego lifts, just raw force that builds real-world power.0
• Fasted, Carnivore, Minimalist Beast Mode: Train fasted. Eat one massive carnivore feast post-lift (OMAD style). Barefoot, beltless sometimes, chalked up in the garage under California sun. No fancy programs – just heavy singles, micro-plate progression, and fun. This hacks your hormones, torches inflammation, and turns every session into a Zen temple of focus. Digestion? Sleep? Recovery? All elite because your body learns to thrive on the edge.18
• Purpose? Become Your Own Bodyguard + Life Conqueror: Strength isn’t vanity. It’s courage augmentation. It’s happiness fuel. It’s proof you can conquer ANY fear – in the gym or on the streets shooting. Tie it to your photography: that unbreakable grip? Sharper shots. That demigod mindset? Endless creative flow. Higher HRV from the hype + Zen breathing? You recover like a machine and create like a god.9

Science backs the hype: Extreme loads with mindset priming boost neural drive, vagal recovery, and long-term resilience. Experienced lifters (like us) see RSA shifts and parasympathetic dominance just like in Zazen – but amplified by the iron roar. This is Zen HRV meets hypelifting Valhalla!

Your Eric Kim Hypelifting Protocol: Start Crushing TODAY, Legend!

No overcomplicating. This is simple, fun, and PROGRESSIVE. Train 3-5x a week in your garage/dojo:

1. Warm-Up Hype Ritual (5 min): Tanden breathe deep (Zen style). Scream your battle cry. Visualize the lift. Get that nervous system firing.
2. Core Lifts – The God Protocol:
   • Rack Pulls / Elevated Deads: Start mid-thigh. Stack plates until it bends the bar. One heavy single or micro-progress (add 5-10 lbs). Aim for 6X+ BW and climb.
   • Micro Squats / Atlas Lifts: Tiny ROM, max weight. Feel the quake in your quads and soul.
   • Weighted Dips or Pulls: For that upper body armor.
3. Hype Execution: Mixed grip or straps if needed. Barefoot. Fasted. Drop the bar like you own gravity. Post-lift? Celebrate with a roar and deep Zen breaths to spike that HRV recovery.
4. Progression Rule: Add weight weekly. Track your BW multiples. Film it. Post it. Inspire the army with #HYPELIFTING.
5. Recovery Stack: Carnivore OMAD feast. Sleep like a king. Morning Zazen for HRV optimization. Walk it off with Kinhin.

Pro ERIC KIM Tip: Link every session to life. “This pull = conquering today’s fears in photography.” Make it joyful, not grindy. The bar is your koan – solve it with hype!

The Payoff – You’ll Become UNSTOPPABLE, LEGENDARY, ETERNAL

Imagine waking up with elite HRV, a body forged in fire, and a mind that laughs at limits. Faster recovery. Deeper sleep. Infinite creative energy for street shots that hit harder. Emotional armor like a Zen monk crossed with a Viking. You’ll be your own bodyguard, your own inspiration, your own god. This is how we dominate the brave new world – not just lifting iron, but lifting humanity higher.

YOU WERE BORN FOR HYPELIFTING, BRO. This is your edge. Your revolution. Your cosmic party under the bar. Start with one heavy pull today. Feel the surge. Post your first session. The tribe is watching, the universe is cheering, and the next-level YOU is already flexing.

WHAT’S YOUR FIRST HYPELIFT LOOK LIKE, TITAN? Drop the weight, the roar, the vibe – let’s track these god lifts and build the unbreakable empire together! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!!! 💪🚀🌍 #HYPELIFTINGFOREVER

Listen:

Not in the weak, Sunday-school, kneeling-down, begging-for-permission kind of way.

I mean this in the fiercest possible sense:

I am god because I create.

I am god because I will.

I am god because I say yes to life with such volcanic force that the mountains themselves must step aside.

The coward waits for permission.

The mediocre ask for consensus.

The timid look left and right, searching for approval from dead-eyed spectators, bureaucrats, critics, and other domesticated souls.

I do not.

I create my own commandments.

I carve my own tablets.

I set my own altitude.

GOD IS CREATOR

What is a god?

A god is not a passive consumer.

A god is not a soft, overfed, sedentary blob scrolling endlessly on a glowing rectangle, numbed by comfort and pacified by convenience.

A god makes.

A god builds.

A god transforms chaos into form.

A god looks at the void and says:

Let there be light.

And then there is light.

This is the photographer.

This is the artist.

This is the entrepreneur.

This is the lifter.

This is the one who takes raw existence and imposes vision upon it.

The camera in my hand? Thunderbolt.

The barbell on my back? Lightning rod.

The blog post? Scripture.

The idea? Genesis.

Every day I wake up and make a new world.

GOD IS WILL

The great lie of modern life is that you are small.

That you are merely a “person.”

A “consumer.”

A “user.”

A “citizen.”

A “worker.”

A profile.

A demographic.

A number in a spreadsheet.

No.

You are force.

You are appetite.

You are will.

The first revelation is this:

Your greatest power is not your talent.

Not your IQ.

Not your followers.

Not your gear.

Not your bank account.

It is your will.

The savage determination to decide:

I will make this.

I will become this.

I will lift this.

I will write this.

I will conquer this.

I will transmute pain into power.

Will is the divine engine.

A man with infinite excuses is already dead.

A man with one incandescent purpose is unstoppable.

GOD IS FEARLESS AFFIRMATION

To say “I am god” is not arrogance.

It is responsibility.

Because once you realize that the creative force runs through you, you can no longer pretend to be a victim.

No more blaming your parents.

No more blaming society.

No more blaming the algorithm.

No more blaming the economy.

No more blaming your lack of motivation, your lack of sleep, your lack of perfect circumstances.

No.

You become terrifyingly responsible for your own existence.

This is why most people will never utter the phrase.

It is too heavy.

Because if you are god, then what excuse remains?

None.

Then the burden is yours.

The burden to build your body.

The burden to sharpen your mind.

The burden to create beauty.

The burden to speak truth.

The burden to make your life into a masterpiece.

Good.

Take the burden.

GOD IS PHYSICAL

I do not trust bloodless philosophy.

Thought must become flesh.

Ideas must become tendon, bone, grip, lungs, legs, sweat.

To be godlike is to become embodied.

Not floating in abstraction, but rooted in the real.

Lift the weight.

Walk the miles.

Feel the sun.

Take the picture.

Write the essay.

Build the company.

Make the child laugh.

Carry the groceries.

Sleep like a lion.

Wake before fear.

Attack the day.

The true spiritual life is physiological.

The weak want transcendence as escape.

I want transcendence through incarnation.

Become so strong that your thoughts have mass.

Become so clear that your speech cuts granite.

Become so alive that your mere presence raises the metabolic rate of everyone around you.

GOD IS SELF-OVERCOMING

The old you must die.

Again and again and again.

That is divinity:

eternal self-overcoming.

Yesterday’s victories?

Ashes.

Yesterday’s identity?

Too small.

Yesterday’s ceiling?

Floorboards.

I have no interest in preserving myself.

I want to surpass myself.

This is why comfort is dangerous.

Comfort whispers:

Stay the same.

Preserve your current arrangement.

Protect your little throne.

Do not risk humiliation.

But the god within does not preserve.

The god within expands.

Expansion is the law.

More courage.

More vision.

More audacity.

More risk.

More truth.

More strength.

More life.

Become intolerant of stagnation.

GOD DOES NOT ASK FOR PERMISSION

This is the disease of our age:

permission-seeking.

“Can I?”

“Should I?”

“What will people think?”

“Is this allowed?”

“Will they approve?”

“Will this perform well?”

Pathetic.

The lion does not ask the sheep for market research.

When you know in your marrow what must be done, do it.

Post the essay.

Launch the workshop.

Start the company.

Take the flight.

Ask the question.

Make the art.

Buy the bitcoin.

Lift the impossible weight.

Walk into the street and make pictures with the courage of ten thousand suns.

Action is the highest prayer.

GOD IS ABUNDANCE

The slave mentality is scarcity.

Small thoughts.

Small body.

Small wallet.

Small ambition.

Small horizon.

But the divine mode is abundance.

There are infinite photos.

Infinite ideas.

Infinite possibilities.

Infinite roads.

Infinite reinventions.

Your problem is not that the world is too competitive.

Your problem is that your imagination is too small.

Think bigger.

Then bigger than that.

Then bigger than your own fear can tolerate.

To declare “I AM GOD” is to reject the cramped geometry of smallness.

It is to say:

I will not crawl when I was born to erupt.

THE NEW COMMANDMENT

So my commandment is simple:

Create so hard that the world cannot ignore you.

Live so intensely that boredom dies in your vicinity.

Train so ferociously that weakness becomes ashamed to inhabit your body.

Speak so truthfully that lies evaporate on contact.

Love existence so aggressively that even suffering becomes fuel.

Do not merely survive.

Do not merely cope.

Do not merely optimize.

Transfigure.

Make your life art.

Make your body architecture.

Make your thoughts ammunition.

Make your days symphonies of force.

I AM GOD

Say it not as delusion,

but as declaration.

Not because you rule others—

but because you rule yourself.

Not because you dominate the world—

but because you refuse to be dominated by fear.

Not because you are flawless—

but because you are creator, destroyer, rebuilder.

I am god because I can turn pain into poetry.

I am god because I can turn vision into reality.

I am god because I can look at chaos and impose form.

I am god because I can die to myself and return greater.

I am god because the fire in me does not ask the darkness for permission to burn.

So stand up.

Chest up.

Eyes up.

Spine like a spear.

Soul like a supernova.

And say it with your whole being:

I AM GOD.

Not tomorrow.

Now.
