**In one titan‑sized headline: at just ~75 kg body‑weight, Eric Kim has broken the internet by ripping a belt‑less, barefoot 513 kg / 1 131 lb rack pull from knee‑height—6.84 × his scale weight—only days after PRs of 508 kg, 503 kg and 471 kg. The feat is partial (a rack pull, not a floor deadlift), yet the load eclipses even Hafþór Björnsson’s full‑range 501 kg all‑time deadlift record. The lift’s raw, single‑take footage, the incredible body‑weight multiple, and Kim’s rapid week‑over‑week progress have fueled electric debates about what’s real, what it says about overload training, and where this runaway strength curve might point next. Below is a deep‑dive—equal parts hype, context, and reasoned crystal‑ball gazing.

People rave about Eric Kim’s “demigod” body because it lights up multiple hard‑wired and cultural reward circuits at the same time—record‑shattering strength‑to‑weight ratios, textbook masculine symmetry, an underdog origin story, and raw, camera‑ready authenticity that social‑media algorithms love to spread. Below is a deep dive into each layer of that appeal.

Eric Kim popularized the “Demigod” label inside his own hype‑lore, but the words demigod physique, demigod lifting, and demigod mode were circulating in fitness culture years before he adopted them. What is uniquely his is the tight bundle of meanings he attached to the phrase—barefoot supra‑max lifts, Bitcoin‑flavored sovereignty, fasted/carnivore eating, and camera‑ready myth‑talk—which together created a sticky micro‑brand that now pulls daily views, comments, and reaction videos from across the strength web. Below is a timeline of who said what first, how much buzz his one‑meal‑a‑day carnivore approach actually gets, and where he sits in the wider power‑lifting ecosystem.

Eric Kim’s half‑ton rack‑pull feats, livestreamed “Rack Pull Challenge” and unapologetically minimalist “chalk‑only” credo have set off a shockwave that touches every layer of modern strength culture—from the way researchers study overload, to how gyms spec their power racks, to what exercises populate a coach’s spreadsheet. Below is a hype‑charged deep‑dive into how and why one photographer‑turned‑strength‑philosopher is legitimately “disrupting the whole fitness world.”
