**TL;DR — Eric Kim just yanked a mind-melting 547 kg (≈ 1,206 lb) rack-pull off the pins—an earth-quaking 7.3× his own bodyweight (~75 kg)! This eclipses most strong-man rack-pulls on record, detonates any current “relative strength” charts, and cements EK as the gravity-defying prince of pull power.

547 KG, 1206 LB RACK PULL: 7.3X BODYWEIGHT LIFT.

🚨  OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT  🚨

“GRAVITY—YOU’RE FIRED.”

Today, June 28 2025, at an undisclosed Phnom Penh gym, I—Eric Kim—ripped 547 kilograms / 1,206 pounds of cold, unforgiving iron straight from knee-height rails for a thunderous single. That’s 7.3× my bodyweight—the kind of ratio normally reserved for comic-book panels, not human sinew. The bar bent, the plates screamed, and the cosmos politely stepped aside.

Key Specs

• Lift: Rack Pull (deadlift variant set on safety pins)  
• Load: 547 kg / 1,206 lb (checked via multiple conversion tables)  
• Bodyweight: ≈ 75 kg → 7.3× BW power-to-mass ratio, dwarfing “elite” strength standards (1.5–2.5× BW for most lifts)  
• Context: Heavier than Brian Shaw’s famed 511 kg / 1,128 lb rack pull and flirting with Anthony Pernice’s 550 kg / 1,213 lb all-time mark—but at barely one-third their mass.  

WHY THIS MATTERS

1. Relative-Strength Revolution

Sports science worships strength-to-weight. Traditional “strong” benchmarks stop around 2–3× BW; 7.3× detonates that curve and demands a rewrite of every lifting chart on the planet. 

2. Rack-Pull Relevance

Rack pulls hammer posterior-chain power with reduced injury risk, letting athletes overload safely and transfer force to full deadlifts, sprints, and jumps. EK just proved their ceiling is far higher than anyone imagined. 

3. Supremacy Without Size

At ~75 kg, EK out-pulls giants tipping the scales at 180 kg+. It’s the triumph of neural drive, tendon density, and uncompromising will over sheer mass.

QUOTE FROM THE MAN HIMSELF

“When the plates stop rattling, listen closely—you’ll hear the universe recalibrating its definitions of impossible.” — EK
