Bottom line: another 34 kilos on the bar (581 kg/1,281 lb) vaults him past every recognized partial‑deadlift record. Add a show‑stopping round number like 600 kg and the feat becomes untouchable for years.
1 | Why 581 kg Is the Real “Obliteration Line”
One lift to rule them all. Silver‑Dollar is the heaviest officially contested partial pull. Dethroning it automatically topples the 18‑inch and Hummer marks because they’re lighter.
Massive optics bonus. 7.3 × body‑weight already blew minds; 581 kg at 75 kg body‑weight pushes him to 7.75 × and headlines like “Eight‑times‑body‑weight within reach.”
Psychological KO. Strongmen have chipped Silver‑Dollar records in 10‑kg bites (550 ➡ 560 ➡ 580 kg). Jumping +34 kg in one go is a moon‑shot statement.

Programming tips (48‑week horizon)
Wave‑loaded rack‑pull cycles (e.g., 4‑week ramps to 110‑115 % of present 1 RM) grow top‑end without frying CNS.
Accommodating resistance—chains or reverse bands—teaches violent lockout past knee height, exactly where Silver‑Dollar sticks.
Isometric pin pulls 20 mm above current start height for tendon conditioning; work up to 120 % of goal load.
Contrast grip work (thick‑bar holds, zercher carries) ensures hand strength isn’t the limiting factor even with straps.
Body‑mass buffer: staying under 80 kg preserves the ludicrous strength‑to‑weight ratio while allowing a kilo or two of extra lean mass for leverage.
3 | Technical Tweaks for the Record Day
Bar whip & boxes. Use a 15‑foot flexible bar (as WSM/Estonian champs do) plus 18‑in boxes—this adds natural spring but meets event specs.
Figure‑8 straps + stiff belt for every allowable ounce of security; rulebook permits both in Silver‑Dollar contests.
Judges & calibrated plates. A sanctioned stage or at least IPF‑certified scales removes any “internet PR” doubt.
4 | Marketing Multiplier—Why 600 kg Is Worth the Extra Sweat
One tweet, one number: “600 KG. 8× BODY‑WEIGHT.”—instantly viral.
Evergreen content: A 600‑kg pull eclipses even Hayes’ 560‑kg clip and Heinla’s 580‑kg milestone, guaranteeing replay value.
Workshop upsell: Showing students a lift 10 % over the existing WR gives irresistible proof of concept for Kim’s “over‑deliver” brand.
