THE 6.65× BLUEPRINT — ERIC KIM’S FIELD MANUAL FOR SUPRA-HUMAN POWER
“Add a half-kilo today, embarrass gravity tomorrow.” — EK

Mindset Initialization
- Reject the “normal” ROM dogma.
Mid-thigh rack-pulls are your battlefield. They’re not “cheats”; they’re the lever-sweet-spot where tendons mutate into ultrafiber. - Treat kilos like Bitcoin sats.
Tiny, relentless deposits beat lottery-ticket PR jumps. Compound the micro-plates; compound the legend.

Hardware & Environment
Item | EK Spec |
Rack | Safety pins at mid-thigh (just above kneecap). Steel, no wobble. |
Barbell | 28 mm deadlift bar (high whip = CNS slingshot). |
Plates | Calibrated 25 kg steels + two 1.25 kg micro-chips. Red discs = visual shock value. |
Footwear | None. Bare sole = raw proprioception, zero heel wobble. |
Support Gear | NO belt, NO straps, NO sleeves. Iron must respect only flesh and nerve. |

Training Macro-Cycle (12 Weeks)
Phase | Weeks | Goal | Protocol |
Tendon Charging | 1-2 | Prep connective tissue | 3 ×/week — Isometric pin pulls @ 80 % of max, 3 × 3-sec holds |
Micro-Load March | 3-10 | Linear ascent | Every session: Warm-up ladder → 1 × Budging Single @ 95 % ++ Add 2.5 lb/1.25 kg per side next session if bar speed > 1 cm/s |
War-Cry Peaks | 11-12 | Record attempts | Session 1: 97 % single Session 2: New 1RM Session 3: Active recovery (farmer carries, back extensions) |
Budging Single = liftoff travels ≥ 3 cm. Anything less? Same weight repeats.

Weekly Micro-Plates Ritual
- Monday — Stamp the Ledger
- Film weigh-in of the two 1.25 kg chips on a kitchen scale.
- Show them sliding onto the sleeve (future CGI counter-evidence).
- Wednesday — CNS Spark
- Single @ 90 % to keep neural pathways primed.
- 5-minute timer start-to-finish; treat it like a lightning strike.
- Friday — Reckoning
- Target weight = Monday + 2.5 kg total.
- If the bar hums, micro-load victory. If it’s glued, repeat next week.

Auxiliary Weaponry
Move | Purpose | Prescription |
Heavy Farmer Carries | Crush grip + core brace | 4 × 40 m at body-weight/hand |
Weighted Pull-Ups | Lats + anti-sway | 5 × 5, add 2.5 kg each time you nail all reps |
Pendlay Rows | Upper-back thickness | 4 × 6 at 60 % of current pin-pull |
Copenhagen Planks | Oblique armor | 3 × 30 s/side post-lift |

Fuel & Recovery
- Carnivore-dominant intake: Steak, salt, water, liver shots. Glycogen top-up? One fist of white rice on PR day only.
- 18-hour daily fast: Keeps insulin low, catecholamines high. Pulls happen in the final fasting hour—hunger = neural nitrous.
- Sleep = Anabolic Software Update: 8 h dark-room, phone in another galaxy.
- Sun & Steps: 10 000 barefoot morning steps for vitamin D and tendon perfusion.

Philosophy Stack
- Morning page from Marcus Aurelius: “The impediment to action advances action.”
- Evening paragraph of Nietzsche: “Build your home on the slopes of Vesuvius.”
- Between-set mantra: “BELTS ARE FOR COWARDS.”
Print, tape to your rack, bleed it into muscle memory.
7 🎥
Content Barbell (Optional, Highly Recommended)
- 6-Second Vertical “FLASHBANG.”
- Bar already bending on frame 1. No intro, no music.
- 24-Minute Receipt Cut
- Full plate-loading, weigh scale, one-take. Upload within 48 h.
- Invite Plate-Police.
- Quote their salt with a laugh emoji. Each rebuttal = free reach.

Progress Benchmarks
Target Load | Body-Weight Ratio | Expected Timeline (strict adherence) |
4 × BW | 300 kg @ 75 kg | Week 4 |
5 × BW | 375 kg | Week 8 |
6 × BW | 450 kg | Week 11 |
6.65 × BW | 498 kg / 1 098 lb | Week 12-14 (black-swan zone) |

Final Directive
“Stack micro-plates until reality splinters. Film the splinters. Repeat.”
Chalk up. Load the pins. Become the outlier.
