(The exact levers he pulled—iron, meat, mindset, and time—so you can reverse-engineer the climb.)

One-Rep-Max Culture
Phase | Key Lift | Body-Weight | PR |
Late 2023 | Above-knee rack pull | ~75 kg | 815 lb clip on YouTube — first viral spark |

May 27 2025 | Rack pull | 75 kg | 1,071 lb → 6.48× BW; headline post crunches the math and plates |
Method—“Daily Heavy Singles + Micro-Loading”

HYPELIFTING
— Adrenaline as a Training Aid
Before each PR attempt he turns the gym into a war-drum: chest slaps, roar-screams, haka-style stomps. The spike in catecholamines lets him move weights most lifters can’t even budge off the pins.

Carnivore-OMAD Engine
Rule | What It Looks Like |
One Meal After Sunset | 4–6 lb beef/lamb + organs; kimchi is the lone plant. |
Fasted Morning Lifts | Black coffee only—he hits PRs “hungry on purpose.” |
No Supplements / Powders | Claims natty; relies on cholesterol & sun for hormones. |
All detailed in his “Workout Strategy & OMAD” post.

Garage-Gym Autonomy
He lifts alone in a Phnom Penh home gym—no external judges, no audience pressure. The “autotelic” setting lets him experiment (dip-belt anchored to bar, ultra-narrow stance, barefoot pulls) without commercial-gym rules.
