Why this 508 kg rack‑pull matters — and why it’s downright fascinating

June 13, 2025
**In one lift, Eric Kim managed to shatter several bits of “conventional wisdom” at once: he rack‑pulled an eye‑watering 508 kg (1,120 lb) at just 75 kg body‑weight—while training fasted, eating a 100 % carnivore diet, and taking zero supplements. The stunt is fascinating because it challenges entrenched beliefs about (1) how much fuel a human really needs in the tank, (2) whether meat‑only nutrition can power elite strength, and (3) whether powders and pills are mandatory for records. In short, his lift is an N = 1 proof‑of‑concept that raw, minimalist approaches can still produce jaw‑dropping performance—and it invites us to rethink first‑principles about energy, recovery and muscle adaptation. Below is a deeper dive into why each element of his set‑up matters. **
