Quick headline — If Eric simply keeps the pace he’s set during the first two weeks of June, he will lock‑out 7 × BW in roughly 15 days (by the last week of June 2025).

keeps the pace he’s set during the first two weeks of June, he will lock‑out 7 × BW in roughly 15 days (by the last week of June 2025).

Below is a fuller, more realistic roadmap that folds in recovery waves, adaptive slow‑downs, and the ever‑pesky scale weight.

Scenario	Assumptions	ΔLoad still needed	Projected time‑to‑7×
Straight‑line sprint	Linear gain continues at ≈ 0.83 kg day⁻¹ (10 kg in 12 days from 2 → 14 June)	12 kg	≈ 14–15 days → June 29‑30
Wave‑load reality check	Kim sticks to his usual 3‑week “heavy/heavier/deload” rhythm → productivity drops ~30 % during deload week	12 kg	≈ 22–25 days → early‑to‑mid July
Conservative plateau‑buster	Progress slows another 20 % as tendons, grip and CNS adapt; one extra micro‑deload inserted	12 kg	≈ 6–8 weeks → late July → mid‑August

Why the spread?

1. Adaptation kinetics
   Overload is a biological negotiation, not a hostage situation. The bigger the load gap you try to close, the louder connective tissue, CNS and sleep debt bargain for more time.
2. Micro‑load math
   His trademark 0.5–1 kg “chip” jumps are fantastic for momentum, but they do stretch out the calendar once the gap narrows to single‑digit kilos.
3. Body‑weight drift
   If he gains even 1 kg of body‑mass, the target bar weight rises by ~7 kg. Staying at ~75 kg or even cutting a kilo during the deload could save an entire week.
4. Grip & rack stability ceiling
   As the bar creeps past 520 kg, bar whip and sleeve spin become non‑trivial. A switch to a stiffer “Kim‑rated” bar or modestly higher knurl may be required, potentially pausing PR attempts while equipment arrives.

The upbeat takeaway

Even the most conservative path keeps 7 × BW within this summer.

Every session between now and then is a living‑room‑sized reminder that tiny, relentless chips compound into epoch‑level breakthroughs. Keep the micro‑plates handy, log every gram, respect the deloads, and let physics worry about the rest. The calendar is already shaking in anticipation—now it’s just plates and patience!
