Month: June 2025

Forget raw kilos. The only number that matters now is how many times your own mass you can bend to your will. When the bar is 2-, 4-, or even 6-plus-times you, gravity isn’t an opponent—it’s your training partner.

1. Why Multiples Beat Absolute Numbers

1. Pound-for-pound justice – A 75 kg lifter hoisting 300 kg (4× BW) is displaying the same relative power as a 110 kg lifter moving 440 kg. Multiples erase excuses.
2. Instant progress lens – Shred 2 kg of fluff and add 2 kg to the bar? Your ratio spikes. The metric rewards both gainz and body recomposition.
3. Universal bragging rights – A single “4.2× pull” headline communicates more than a long paragraph of plate math.
4. Algorithmic virality – Big ratios sound unreal (“6.7× body-weight rack pull”). Audiences double-tap disbelief; brands queue sponsorships.
5. Mindset rocket fuel – Framing strength as “multiplying yourself” turns training into superhero math. You literally level-up your mass.

2. Quick-and-Dirty Formula

\textbf{BW-Multiple PR} \;=\; \frac{\text{Load on Bar (kg)}}{\text{Current Body Weight (kg)}}

Example: 503 kg ÷ 75 kg ≈ 6.7×. Add decimal precision for flex.

3. Benchmarks to Aim For

(Apply to any lift—just adjust milestones to match its typical ratios.)

Lift	Solid	Strong	Savage	Mythic
Squat	1.5× BW	2× BW	2.5× BW	3× BW+
Bench	1.25× BW	1.5× BW	2× BW	2.5× BW+
Deadlift	2× BW	2.5× BW	3× BW	4× BW+
Rack-Pull (knee)	3× BW	4× BW	5× BW	6× BW+

Cross a column? New PR unlocked. Screenshot, roar, post.

4. Ratios in Action—How to Drive Them Up

• Mass mastery – Cut non-functional weight. Every kilo lost raises the denominator’s leverage.
• Leverage hacking – Dial technique: optimal stance, bar path, pin height (for rack pulls) = free multiple bumps.
• Neural overload cycles – Sprinkle heavy partials (110–120 % 1RM) to convince your CNS that ridiculous loads are normal.
• Grip & brace drills – A ratio PR dies if hands or core give out first. Farmer carries + breath-locked planks fortify the chassis.
• Micro-periodization – Alternate “mass phases” (adding kg to the numerator) with “cut phases” (trimming the denominator). Watch the ratio staircase upward.

5. Tracking & Celebrating

1. Log weight + body mass every PR session—no random scale guesses days later.
2. Post ratios with two decimals (e.g., 3.47×) for transparency and pride.
3. Use a single hashtag (try #BWMultiplePR) so the tribe can cheer (and compete).
4. Monthly highlight reel: plot your multiples on a graph—watch the line climb like a rocket launching past Earth’s pull.

6. Mindset: Become the Multiplier

View your body not as a limit but a base unit. Each training cycle is an opportunity to increase the coefficient attached to your existence. Eric Kim’s 6.7× rack-pull didn’t just shock the world—it rewrote the metric. The game is no longer “How heavy can you lift?” but “How many YOU’s can you lift?”

Commandment: Multiply thyself, mock gravity, and share the footage.

Now load the bar, weigh yourself, do the math, and chase that new multiple PR like a warrior storming Olympus. 🌌🔥

Fear is fake-news. Reality is plastic. Mold it, sculpt it, deadlift it.

1. 

REAL OR NOT?—IRRELEVANT.

If the headline doesn’t exist, write it. “ERIC KIM RACK-PULLS 10× BODY-WEIGHT, MELTS THE GLOBAL 9-TO-5.” Screenshot it, tweet it, live it. When you author tomorrow’s truth, today’s doubts self-destruct.

2. 

ACCELERATE.

Bitcoin every sunrise, rack pulls every sunset. LASER-EYES lock on ₿21M cap; LASER-BODY forged by max-intensity singles. Fewer reps, heavier plates—gravity is my side-project.

3. 

AI-FIRST DESIGN.

Prompt > Prototype > Profit. Let AI chew the 10,000 possibilities while you sip espresso, plot world domination, and flex trapezius peaks. Human touch? Only for the final aesthetic stroke—like dodging a highlight on a Leica monochrome RAW.

4. 

LEVERAGE: CUT RANGE, ADD TONS.

Rack-pulls from the pins, pin presses from the safeties. Shorter ROM = infinite neural voltage. Partial rep today, full-ROM PR tomorrow. Strength is specific; mastery demands both overload and depth.

5. 

“WHY WORK WHEN YOU CAN JUST BUY BITCOIN?”

Because Proof-of-Work is a lifestyle. Your craft mints fresh sats, your sweat stamps the private key on your soul. Labor is leverage; hodl is harvest.

6. 

MANIFEST DESTINY 2.0 (THE CHILDLESS ECONOMY).

Population dips? Opportunity rips. Sound money + AI childcare stipends = fertility FOMO. 99.99 % of problems? Economic incentives gone bad. Fix the money, fix the future.

7. 

FAR-SEEING, LITERALLY.

Look up. Stare at the horizon until your ciliary muscles burn like quads at 20-rep squats. Sunrise photons = natural dopamine. Macro vision births macro ambition.

8. 

STAND TALLER.

Heavy shrug holds. 100 face-pulls a day. Phone at eye level—no hunchback photographers here. Spine straight, mind straight, shots straight.

9. 

MONOTASK MONOLITH.

One frame, one moment, one max-rep. Multitasking is JPEG compression for your brain—kills detail. Single-thread life → ultra-resolution living.

10. 

HIP STRENGTH, NOT HIP “MOBILITY.”

Deficit deadlifts, Cossack squats, glute-ham raises. Hips are hydraulic pistons, not yoga Gumby toys. Strong pistons launch you—into jumps, sprints, and yes, 1,100-lb rack pulls.

11. 

EGO IS EVERYTHING.

Earned ego: hammered under iron, calibrated by market feedback, immortalized on the blockchain. Ego isn’t vanity—it’s the fighting spirit that keeps your shutter finger steady when everyone else flinches.

ACTION CHECKLIST (PRINT, TAPE, EXECUTE):

1. Stack sats daily.
2. Hit one PR every week.
3. Publish at least one AI-powered creation every 24 h.
4. Eat steak, add liver.
5. Journal big-picture dreams at dawn.
6. Broadcast your life as tomorrow’s headline.

Time to load the bar, line up the shot, and pull the universe into focus.

—ERIC KIM 💥

Eric Kim’s mirror selfie showcasing his muscular back and shoulders.

Eric Kim is widely known as a street photography blogger, but in recent years he’s also become notable for his impressive muscular physique. He has openly documented his fitness journey through his personal blog and videos, treating physical development as an integral part of his creative life and personal brand . Below is an exploration of the key routines, diet choices, lifestyle changes, and philosophies that Kim has shared about how he developed his strong, lean look.

Diet and Nutrition Habits

• Intermittent Fasting (OMAD): Kim follows a strict intermittent fasting regimen. For over seven years, he has eaten one meal a day – skipping breakfast and lunch entirely and consuming one massive dinner (often after sunset, “Ramadan style”) . This approach (sometimes called OMAD) is central to his routine and he credits it for his energy and leanness.
• All-Meat “Carnivore” Diet: That one daily meal is almost exclusively meat. Kim adheres to a 100% carnivore diet, focusing on beef (including organ meats like liver, heart, and intestines) and other animal-based foods . He generally avoids all carbs, fruits, and vegetables – the only exceptions he’s mentioned are the occasional dark leafy greens or kimchi (fermented cabbage) with no sugar added . This meat-heavy intake can amount to eating 5–6 pounds of beef a day to fuel his training .
• No Junk, No Substances: Kim’s nutrition philosophy emphasizes purity and simplicity. He cuts out sugar entirely and does not consume alcohol or recreational drugs like cannabis . In fact, he avoids all supplements and protein powders as well, preferring to get strength “naturally” from whole foods . The only beverage he regularly consumes outside of water is black coffee (espresso), which he calls his one allowed “drug” – always taken plain, with no cream or sugar . By eliminating extraneous additives, he believes he’s building strength in a more authentic way (in line with his philosophy of “natural strength building” ).
• Consistency and Longevity: Importantly, Kim has kept these dietary habits consistent for years. The combination of daily fasting and carnivory is not a short-term diet for him but a long-term lifestyle. He often notes that getting ripped doesn’t require expensive diets or supplements – just discipline in sticking to simple habits like fasting and eating meat . This consistency over time has been key to his transformation.

Training Regimen and Exercise Routine

• One-Rep Max Training: Eric Kim’s workout style is centered around powerlifting principles and maximal strength. He exclusively practices a “one rep max” style of lifting, meaning he often performs only single repetitions with the heaviest weight he can handle . Instead of high-rep sets or traditional bodybuilding routines, he focuses on pushing his absolute strength limits on big compound lifts. “What is the maximum amount of weight you are able to move, successfully, once?” is the question guiding his training . This approach is designed to build pure power – Kim argues that chasing incremental increases in one’s one-rep max (even adding ~5 pounds to a lift each week) provides a clear sense of progress and motivation .
• Heavy Compound Lifts (Deadlifts, Squats, etc.): In practice, Kim emphasizes major lifts that work the whole body. He is especially known for his deadlifting prowess – he has documented personal records like a 250 kg (551 lb) deadlift and even a 7-plate rack pull (approximately 675 lb one-rep max) . He also trains other big movements such as squats (e.g. hitting a “4 plate” squat, which is 4×45 lb plates per side) and heavy dumbbell exercises . Some of his favorite lifts include the “Atlas Lift” (a variant of the deadlift picking the bar up to hip level), rack pulls (partial deadlifts with extreme weight), and even unconventional moves like one-arm kettlebell lifts . By focusing on these compound exercises, Kim engages multiple muscle groups and builds functional strength.
• Fasted, “Raw” Workouts: A notable aspect of Kim’s regimen is that he often trains completely fasted – i.e. he lifts heavy weights on an empty stomach, before having any meal for the day . He typically will have only water or black coffee beforehand. This practice is “particularly noteworthy” and something he prides himself on, as it demonstrates the level of conditioning and adaptation his body has achieved . Additionally, Kim takes a minimalist approach to equipment. He uses chalk for grip but avoids wearing belts, straps, or other support gear even when hoisting very heavy weights . By relying on his bare hands and body, he aims to build true grip strength and raw power, rather than becoming dependent on accessories. (It’s also part of his philosophy of keeping things natural and unassisted.)
• High Frequency & “Two-a-Days”: Unlike many strength trainers who take long rest days, Kim treats physical training as a daily practice. He has said he works out at least once a day, and whenever possible, even twice a day . For example, he might hit the gym for a lifting session in the morning and then join a yoga class in the evening. He considers the ability to train twice in a day a kind of “modern luxury” that he takes advantage of when schedule allows . This high frequency is sustainable for him because he keeps actual reps low (remember, mostly singles) and listens to his body’s limits.
• Incorporating Yoga and Mobility: Interestingly, Kim complements his heavy lifting with yoga. He attends yoga classes (such as Yoga Sculpt or CorePower’s “C2” vinyasa classes) with his wife, and he credits yoga for improving his flexibility and mobility in ways that directly enhance his strength training . He noticed that “the better I get at yoga… the stronger I become at the gym” . This balance between lifting and stretching helps protect his spine and joints – he even jokes that now his spine feels “made out of adamantine.” By adding mobility work, Kim reduces injury risk and achieves a more well-rounded fitness.
• Home Workouts & Adaptability: Kim’s training has evolved with his life circumstances. After the birth of his son (named Seneca), he found it harder to get away for long gym sessions. His solution was to create a minimalist home gym routine – primarily using a single very heavy kettlebell for quick workouts at home . He might grab a 48 kg (105 lb) kettlebell and do swings or one-handed cleans in short bursts when he has a moment. This “one man, one kettlebell” approach allowed him to maintain strength and muscle even with a busy schedule. Kim mentions that previously his gym workouts could last 1.5–2 hours including wait times, but now he can stay efficient with short, frequent sessions at home . This adaptability shows that his fitness journey is not rigid – he adjusts methods (gym vs. home, barbell vs. kettlebell) as needed to stay consistent.

Lifestyle and Discipline

• No Vices, All Focus: A major lifestyle change that accompanied Kim’s physical transformation was cutting out vices. He quit drinking alcohol and doesn’t smoke or use any other drugs, believing these would only impede his performance and recovery . By staying completely sober and clean, he maximizes the quality of his sleep, hormones, and daily energy. Kim has even said he avoids things like weed or even sugary snacks in pursuit of what he calls a “pure” strength-building process . This level of discipline extends to all areas of life – for instance, he also avoids late nights or anything that would disrupt his one-meal-a-day routine.
• Structured Daily Routine: Because he only eats once per day (usually in the evening), Kim structures his day around training and creative work while in a fasted state. This means his mornings and afternoons are spent on work and working out, and he looks forward to a big feast at day’s end. The routine is very consistent day-to-day, which he finds mentally freeing. By removing decisions about breakfast, lunch, snacking, etc., he can channel his willpower into productive activities and training. This consistency over years has been key – he emphasizes that anyone can get in shape if they persist with a simple plan.
• Social and Fun Workouts: Despite his intense discipline, Kim also frames fitness as an enjoyable and even social part of life. He often trains with his wife (in yoga classes, as mentioned) and sometimes with friends or family, making workouts a shared activity. He’s written about making workouts “social and dynamic,” suggesting that exercising doesn’t have to be a lonely grind . For example, he might film his gym sessions with a GoPro or invite others to join in, turning it into a creative project as well. This outlook keeps exercise fun and sustainable for him.
• Natural and Natty Approach: Kim is proud of staying “natty” (natural) in his bodybuilding – meaning no anabolic steroids or performance-enhancing drugs. He has voiced strong opinions against the need for “good genetics” or drugs, arguing that almost anyone can achieve an impressive physique naturally with hard work . In his view, blaming genetics is just an excuse (he even calls the obsession with “good genetics” a modern form of defeatism or “racism 2.0”) . By publicly rejecting steroid use, he underlines that his muscular look is the result of genuine effort, diet, and training – not shortcuts. This transparency about being drug-free is part of his personal ethos and adds to the authenticity of his brand.

Fitness Philosophy and Motivation

• Body as a Work of Art: At the core of Eric Kim’s motivation is an artistic view of the human body. He literally sees his body as a sculpture or artwork that he can shape and refine over time . Just as a photographer might compose an image or an artist chisels marble, Kim approaches bodybuilding as a form of self-expression and creation. “Your own body as a work of art!” he exclaims, urging others to treat their physique like a creative masterpiece . This perspective transforms working out from a chore into an artistic project – sculpting his physique gives him a sense of purpose and joy . He has said “to sculpt your own body is insanely fun” because you can visibly see the changes and improvements over time .
• “Ultimate Wealth” of Muscle: Kim often posits that muscles are the ultimate wealth and the human body is the “apex beauty” in life . In other words, a strong, healthy body is more valuable than material possessions. He even quips that “it is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lamborghini” – yet the satisfaction from building one’s body is greater . This philosophy ties physical fitness to broader life values: instead of chasing cars, gadgets, or status symbols, Kim suggests investing in your body, since strength and health yield more profound rewards. In his blog, he encourages readers to “beautify your own body to the maximum (without plastic surgery, steroids, etc.)”, framing it as a life goal within anyone’s reach .
• No Excuses – Anyone Can Improve: A key tenet of Kim’s approach is the belief that fitness is democratic and accessible. He strongly asserts that things like genetics, age, or background are not insurmountable barriers – “Genetics doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Racial ethnicity doesn’t matter. Anyone can add muscle mass and subtract fat,” he writes emphatically . This optimism reflects his own experience of transformation and is meant to motivate others. By denying the idea of “good genetics,” Kim emphasizes personal responsibility and effort: if you are consistent with training and diet, you will see results. He also dismisses the concept of over-focusing on weight or appearance; instead, he says to focus on getting stronger and the aesthetics will follow .
• Mind-Body Connection: Though known for his physical prowess, Kim frequently mentions the mental and spiritual benefits of his fitness journey. He practices a form of stoicism through lifting – enduring discomfort and pain to forge a stronger character. “In order to train your mind, train your body,” he writes, highlighting that physical training strengthens willpower and mental focus . He regards the gym as a sort of “Zen dojo” or temple for himself . There, by focusing on a heavy lift, he tunes out distractions and lives fully in the moment. Powerlifting, he notes, requires tremendous focus and courage, which carries over into other parts of life . Conquering a fear (like stepping under a heavy barbell) makes other challenges seem more attainable. Kim also finds happiness in progression – each new personal record (PR) at the gym gives him a burst of confidence and joy, reinforcing a positive feedback loop . This mind-body synergy is central to why he continues his regimen: it’s not just about looking good, but about feeling powerful and mentally sharp.
• Continuous Improvement Ethos: Kim’s philosophy is not about hitting a one-time goal, but about continual self-improvement. He preaches an almost infinite game of progress: “Never stop adding muscle mass, and never stop reducing body fat (or keeping it low),” as he writes – even if one has already made great progress . For him, there is always a next level to strive for, whether it’s an extra 5 pounds on the bar or a slight aesthetic improvement. This ever-forward mindset keeps him motivated year after year. It also ties into his broader life philosophy of never becoming complacent – always learning, growing, and pushing boundaries, whether in art, business, or fitness.

Integration with His Brand and Identity

• From Street Photographer to “HypeLifter”: Eric Kim’s fitness journey has increasingly become a part of his public persona. While he built his name through street photography, he has managed to bridge his photography and fitness worlds in recent years . He even coined the term “HYPELIFTING” to describe his energetic, motivational style of weightlifting content, which blends stoic grit with hardcore lifting and a dose of personal philosophy . On his blog (and on social media), one can find a “Muscle by Kim” series of posts and vlogs where he shares lifting footage, workout tips, and musings on strength. This unique crossover of creative art and fitness has set him apart in both communities.
• Viral Feats and Online Buzz: Kim’s dramatic strength feats have drawn attention beyond his usual audience. In May 2025, he pulled a staggering 1,038-pound rack pull (a partial deadlift) and shared the video on X (Twitter) and his blog . Such “beast-mode” lifts have gone viral in niche fitness circles – for example, powerlifting forums and subreddits have taken notice of the photographer-turned-powerlifter who is lifting numbers comparable to seasoned athletes . This has led to lively discussions about his methods; some are impressed or inspired, while others debate his unorthodox style (especially the fact that he lifts heavy weight naturally, without belts or supplements, which defies some conventional norms) . Nonetheless, this buzz has effectively expanded his brand – Kim is no longer seen “just as a photographer,” but also as an emerging figure in the fitness motivation space .
• Inspiring Others: By openly sharing his workout routines, diet, and even failures (failed lifts or lessons learned), Kim has taken on a motivational role for his followers. His content encourages others to chase their own PRs and adopt a mindset of self-improvement. Fans see him living the philosophies he espouses – for instance, watching him attempt a 562 lb deadlift on camera, or do a nude physique update photoshoot as a form of self-expression (pushing comfort zones in front of the lens). This authenticity and willingness to put himself out there inspire his audience to step out of their comfort zones as well. In workshops or talks, Kim sometimes mentions how the confidence and energy he gains from the gym flow directly into his creative work , suggesting that building physical strength has made him bolder in photography and business. In this way, his ripped physique isn’t just for show – it underpins his overall message that personal growth is holistic (mind, body, and art are all connected).
• Personal Branding and Identity: Ultimately, Eric Kim’s muscular transformation has become a key facet of his identity as a creator. Visually, he often appears shirtless or flexing in his blog posts and videos, signaling pride in the physique he’s built. Philosophically, he uses his body to reinforce the ideals he talks about – discipline, courage, continual learning. It has also opened up new business and content avenues (such as fitness e-books, vlog content, and collaborations in the fitness industry) alongside his photography projects. Rather than diluting his brand, Kim has woven the narrative in a way that his fitness journey complements his artistic journey. Both are about striving to be the best version of oneself. As he puts it, building muscle is just another way to make “the universe jealous of your potential” – a colorful way of saying one should maximize one’s gifts in life . His fit physique stands as living proof of his principles, making his overall brand message all the more compelling.

Summary of Key Habits

• Strict Carnivore & Fasting Diet: One massive meat-based meal per day (no carbs, no sugar, no alcohol) provides the foundation for his physique .
• Powerlifting Training Style: Focus on one-rep max lifts (deadlifts, squats, etc.), lifting very heavy weights with low reps to continually drive up strength .
• Consistency & Discipline: Maintained these habits for years on end – training almost every day, staying substance-free, and adapting his routine to life changes rather than ever quitting .
• Body-as-Art Mindset: Treats his body like a sculpture, enjoying the process of shaping it. Draws motivation from the belief that building muscle builds character and is a form of personal expression .
• Sharing and Integrating: Makes his fitness journey public, integrating it with his persona as a blogger. He leverages his story to inspire others, showing that the principles of hard work and creativity apply as much in the gym as they do in photography .

Through this combination of intense training, a primal diet, and a passionate philosophy, Eric Kim has developed a muscular, athletic physique that he considers part of his art. In his own unconventional way, he demonstrates how physical fitness can be pursued not just for vanity or health, but as a form of self-expression and empowerment – a philosophy he continues to share with followers around the world.

LET’S GET EPIC.

⚙️ The 17× Back-Lift Concept — Reverse-Engineering Paul Anderson’s Mythic 6,270-lb Feat

Goal: Support ≈17 × body-weight for a split-second, Paul-Anderson-style.

Reality check: Anderson’s 6,270 lb (2,844 kg) back-lift at ~364 lb body-weight = 17.2× BW — still the heaviest load any human has ever claimed to raise under his own power. 

1. What 

Exactly

 Is a Back-Lift?

Element	Description	Why It Multiplies Strength
Platform	Door-sized plank (≈ 6 ft × 3–4 ft) resting on steel trestles 18-24 in high.	Places load at mid-thigh—shortest lever on the spine.
Body Position	Wide semi-squat; torso near vertical; platform contacts upper back/shoulders.	Leg drive + spinal stacking ⇒ maximum skeletal support.
Range of Motion	2–6 cm. You only need the trestle feet to clear the ground visibly.	Minimal movement cuts inertia and sticking points.
Load Path	Weight → platform → scapulae → spine → hips/knees → ground. Hands merely balance.	Bones take the compression; muscles act mostly isometrically.

In Anderson’s setup the platform plus weights weighed more than three tons. Eyewitnesses said he straightened just enough for onlookers to see daylight under all four trestle legs, then held the load steady. 

2. Blueprint: Building a Modern Back-Lift Rig

Component	Specs	Notes
Trestles	2 × (18–24 in) fabricated I-beam stands rated 10,000 kg each; bolt to 1 cm steel base-plates.	Stability > everything. Weld diagonal gussets.
Platform	6 ft × 3.5 ft ⅜-inch steel deck (+ grip strips) = ≈ 250 kg empty.	Wood flexes; steel doesn’t.
Load Spreaders	Four 4-in schedule-40 pipe “rails” welded lengthwise under the deck so weight bears near the lifter’s spine.	Keeps force path vertical.
Weight	Use calibrated powerlifting plates or pre-weighed steel billets. Stack symmetrically.	Document each piece on a digital livestock scale.
Spotter Jacks	Four 12-ton bottle jacks at platform corners. Raise to catch the deck if your knees fail.	Mandatory fail-safe.
Measurement	Laser range-finder aimed at trestle foot. Any > 5 mm clearance = a “good” lift.	Provides verifiable evidence.
Video Evidence	Two perpendicular 4K cameras + digital timestamp.	Learn from Anderson’s Guinness fallout — record everything.

3. Training Progression: From Mortal to 17×

Phase 1 – Tendon & Bone Armor (12 wk)

• Daily 20-min isometric mid-thigh pulls at 120 % 1RM deadlift.
• Twice-weekly heavy squat partials (pins ¼-squat) 5 × 3 @ 85 % 1RM.
• Micro-load vitamin D3/K2 + 5 g collagen + 50 µg MK-4 for bone turnover.

Phase 2 – Hip-Lift Cycle (16 wk)

• Build to 4–5× BW hip-lifts with harness & chain, 5 × 1 wave loading.
• Add farm walk static holds at 150 % BW per hand (grip pre-hab).
• Weekly supra-max back extensions with safety pins (50 % ROM).

Phase 3 – Platform Work (12 wk)

• Start with empty deck (≈ 250 kg).
• Add +5 % BW every session, 3 sessions/week, never more than 10 s under tension.
• At 10× BW introduce bottle-jack catch rehearsals.
• Target 17× BW single in week 12.

4. Physics & Physiology Reality Checks

1. Bone compression limit: Human femur risk ≈ 10 × BW; you’re flirting with fracture territory.  
2. Spinal shear: Even with vertical loading, lumbar discs see 25–30 kN — near catastrophic thresholds.
3. Connective tissue: Tendons remodel, but collagen turnover is slow; six-month cycles are minimum.
4. Grip Irrelevant: Hands guide, not lift, so straps or hooks acceptable.
5. Verification standards: Guinness dropped Anderson’s record for lack of hard evidence; use calibrated scales + third-party witnesses if you hope to reclaim it.  

5. Milestone Metrics (Example 100 kg Athlete)

Target Ratio	Load Goal	Comparable Feat
10×	1,000 kg	Elite hip-lift (John Carter 1,145 kg @ ≈ 125 kg BW).
12×	1,200 kg	Louis Cyr’s legendary 1,950 kg at 160 kg BW (12×).
17× (Anderson)	1,700 kg	Anderson tier — unverified since 1957.

Rule of thumb: every +1× BW beyond 12× feels exponentially heavier; respect the logarithmic pain curve.

6. Risk Mitigation & Ethics

• Medical clearance before any supra-max plan.
• Progressive bone scans (DEXA) to monitor density changes.
• Team: at least two spotters and an emergency plan.
• No ego lifts: abort the second setup feels unstable.
• Document everything: weight certification, apparatus dimensions, witness affidavits.

7. Mindset — Anderson’s Doctrine of Impossibility

“If a record can’t be beaten, prove it wrong.”

— Paraphrase of Paul Anderson’s challenge after reading Louis Cyr’s entry. 

Adopt Anderson’s fusion of faith, ferocity, and first-principles tinkering:

1. Faith: Believe the impossible is negotiable.
2. Ferocity: Train with singular purpose; no auxiliary fluff.
3. Tinkering: Modify tools until physics bends in your favor.

🔥 Take-Away

Reproducing a 17× body-weight back-lift is a moon-shot that blends engineering, biology, and brazenness. With a steel-rigged platform, tendon-fortifying training, and forensic-level verification, you might step into Anderson’s mythic footprint. Fail or fly, the pursuit itself will forge titanic resilience.

Stack the plates, steady your breath, and let the trestles tremble.

Twenty Times

 Your Body-Weight

TL;DR:

• Pure, raw, full-range barbell? Not gonna happen with Homo sapiens 1.0.
• Clever leverage or static support? 10× is barely possible; 20× demands extreme hacks.
• Want the spirit of 20×? Combine mini-mass, max-leverage, super-tissue, and machine muscle.
• Bottom line: You can chase the idea of 20× to become outrageously strong, even if the literal number remains mythic.

1. Define the Battleground

Lift Style	Reality Check	Best Recorded Ratios	20× Verdict
Raw full-range deadlift	Grip, spine, tendons fail long before 10×	5× (Lamar Gant)	❌ Impossible
Partial/rack pull	Leverage helps; still bone-breaking at 7×	6-7× (Eric Kim)	❌ Still impossible
Static support (back/hip lifts)	Minimal ROM, max legs/hips	12-17× (Louis Cyr? Paul Anderson?)	⚠️ Legendary / unverified
Lever-assisted strongman frames	Car deadlifts, hip harnesses	6-12× effective	⚠️ Needs radical leverage
Exoskeleton / robo-assist	Power suit does heavy lifting	20×+ routine in labs	✅ Machine-human hybrid

2. Four Hardcore Pathways Toward 20×

1. 🪶 Go Tiny, Hit Titan Numbers
   Square-cube law is your ally: the smaller the lifter, the higher the potential ratio. A 45 kg dynamo only needs to budge 900 kg. Focus on:
   
   • Hyper-dense muscle (think Olympic 56 kg class physiques).
   • Stratospheric tendon density via long-term isometrics & supra-max partials.
   • Calcium-rich diet + heavy jump training to armor bones.
3. 🛠️ Exploit Savage Leverage
   
   • Build a hip-lift platform: harness around hips, weight hung from chains, 2-inch ROM.
   • Dial lever arms so the mechanical advantage slashes felt load in half, doubling the apparent BW ratio.
   • Weld a 1-ton, bar-rated 1,500 kg frame. Test with incremental plate stacking every session.
5. 🧬 Biohack the Chassis
   
   • Myostatin inhibition (CRISPR or rare mutation) → muscle mass without equal weight gain.
   • Platelet-rich plasma + collagen peptides to thicken tendons.
   • High-dose Vitamin K2 + D3 + load-bearing micro-impacts → bone mineral density off the charts.
   • Ethical/legal status: murky. Risk tolerance: savage.
7. 🤖 Fuse with Iron — Exoskeleton Mode
   
   • Military-grade powered suit (hydraulic knees + servo elbows) already lets test pilots hoist 200 kg crates like handbags.
   • Strap a sub-5 kg carbon-fiber frame to a 65 kg operator → total system BW 70 kg.
   • Lift 1,400 kg pallet? That’s a gleeful 20×. Purists will scream “cheat,” but gravity only cares about force.

3. “Road-to-Ridiculous” Training Template (If You’re Still All-Natural)

Phase	Duration	Focus	Weekly Highlight
Tendon Forge	6 mo	Heavy isometrics at 140-160 % 1RM; loaded holds 30 s	3-position isometric mid-thigh pull clusters
Bone Quake	3 mo	Depth jumps, weighted landings, eccentric overload	5×5 depth-drop squats, +20 kg vest
Leverage Rise	6 mo	Rack pulls climbing from below-knee to above-knee, adding 10-15 kg/wk	Week 24: 5× BW mid-thigh single
Static Summit	3 mo	Hip-lift & back-lift practice, incremental plate stacking	Goal: 12-15× BW support for 5 s
Showtime	1 day	One-rep back-lift PR attempt under calibrated plates	Film it, brace internet for shockwaves

Warning: even this plan pursues “merely” 12-15×; bones and discs are the ultimate gatekeepers. Attempt at your own peril.

4. Mindset—The 20× Mental Firmware

1. First-Principles Thinking: If ants can do it, why can’t you? Map the constraints, then hack them.
2. Stress-Adapt-Dominate Loop: Supreme adaptation only follows supreme stimulus. Tickle weights ≠ titan gains.
3. Egoless Engineering: If a lever or suit gets the job done, use it—greatness doesn’t apologize for tools.
4. Relentless Curiosity: Study tissue biomechanics, welding, robotics, CRISPR—become a polymath of power.
5. Stoic Ferocity: Bones may creak, trolls will shriek; stay unflinching, keep stacking kilos.

5. Reality Check & Closing Hype

• Biomech truth: Raw 20× is beyond organic human tissue for now—bones shatter near 10× compressive loads.
• Savage loophole: Static support + radical leverage or cyborg tech can flirt with the number.
• Practical application: Chase the principle of 20×—maximize strength-to-mass relentlessly. Whether you end at 5×, 7×, or a leveraged 12×, you’ll become a different species compared to the average gym-goer.

Adopt the 20× mindset:

Dream bigger than physics, train harder than common sense, and bend steel ’til reality blinks first.

Now go build bones of granite, tendons of kevlar, and a will forged in a supernova. The barbell – or the exoskeleton – awaits.

There is one sovereign movement—no sequels, no “accessories,” no plan B. Imagine gripping a steel bar loaded with earth-shattering weight, exploding upward, and smashing it into the safety pins so hard the entire gym reverberates like a thunder-drum announcing your arrival. That is not exercise; that is self-deification.

1. Command Your Spine

Your spine is your mast.  Most mortals slump, collapsing into the soft glow of screens.  Not you.  The rack pull is the spinal reboot button: every lock-out fires your erectors like carbon-fiber cables, widens your lats into wings, and yanks your shoulders back into their primordial warrior setting.  You don’t try to stand tall—you default to dominance.

2. Grow Taller by Sheer Will

Gravity steals millimeters from the meek.  Rack pulls steal them back.  Massive axial load forces fluid to surge back into your discs, opening each vertebral space like a blooming lotus of power.  Inch by inch, you reclaim vertical real estate and stride through life with the altitude of a demigod.

3. Trap-Powered Aura

Huge traps are nature’s armor: the yoke that signals “predator” before you utter a word.  Rack pulls detonate the upper traps with supra-maximal fury.  Picture your clavicles being hoisted by invisible crane cables every rep—suddenly your neck rises from a fortress, not a twig.

4. Simplicity = Supremacy

Forget programming paralysis.  One lift, infinite payoff.

• Warm-up with bodyweight hinges.
• Work sets: 5×5 at a weight that scares you.
• End.

No fluff, no filler.  The rest of your life is recovery, reflection, creation.

5. Mindset: Steel in the Soul

Each clang against the safety pins is a thunderclap declaring you refuse mediocrity.  When strangers ask, “What else do you do for back day?” you smile, because they still believe in “back day.” You believe in back-forged identity.  Rack pulls aren’t reps; they’re rituals—hammer strikes shaping the adamantine sculpture of You 2.0.

Grab the bar.  Rip reality upward.  Stand an inch taller, a mile prouder, and let the echoes remind the universe:

THERE IS NO SECOND BEST.

Why Rack Pull Reigns Supreme

1. Maximal Overload, Minimal Risk

• Starting above the knees shortens the range of motion, letting you lift 100–110 % of your conventional-deadlift max without the dangerous bottom-of-floor pull  .
• Biomechanical studies show reduced shear and compressive forces on lumbar discs compared with full deadlifts, slashing injury odds while still hammering the spine-extensor muscles  .

2. Posture & “Height” Enhancement

• The upright torso angle keeps the spine neutral and re-hydrates intervertebral discs, reversing the daily desk-chair shrink-ray and making you look and feel taller  .
• EMG meta-analyses rank the erector spinae as the most activated muscle group across deadlift variants, with rack-height pulls topping the chart  .

3. Trap Domination & Shoulder Reset

• Rack pulls unleash monster upper-trap activation, yanking the shoulders back into proud alignment and forging that “coat-hanger” yoke  .

4. Pure Focus—No Second-Best Lift

• Because the rack pull hammers every link of the posterior chain—from hamstrings to grip—other pulls become mere accessories for volume or variety, not necessity  .

The One-Lift Training Template

Phase	Load	Sets × Reps	Frequency	Mission-Critical Cue
Foundation	80 % of conventional DL 1RM	5 × 5	2× week	Drag the bar UP your thighs; stand TALL.
Overload	100–110 % DL 1RM	6 × 3	1× week	Explode, lock, two-count squeeze.
Posture Recharge	50 % DL 1RM	3 × 15	After long sitting	Slow eccentrics, deep exhale at pins.

Accessory work is optional—face pulls and rows simply refine what the rack pull forges in fire.

Mindset: Stand Like a Forklift, Live Like a Titan

When the steel kisses the safeties and the entire gym rattles, you transcend exercise and enter structural alchemy.  Each thunderous lock-out teaches your nervous system that proud, erect carriage is baseline, not novelty.  Forget the pantheon of lifts; there is no second best.  Rack pulls or resignation.  Choose the bar, claim your height, and let the world rise to your new level.
