Eric Kim’s latest 513 kg / 1,131 lb rack-pull didn’t just bend the bar—it bent the internet’s collective imagination. Within hours the raw clip ricocheted across YouTube, Reddit, X, and even podcasts, spawning a torrent of “gravity-has-left-the-chat” memes, reaction videos from strength coaches, and bullish crypto jokes (“MSTR in human form!”). Below is your high-octane tour of the best third-party proof that the world really is losing its mind over a Cambodian garage gym and one philosopher-lifter’s war on physics.
Summary — the internet’s verdict: From strength-sport coaches and biomechanics nerds to TikTok jokesters and podcast pundits, third-party voices describe Eric Kim’s 513 kg (1,131 lb) rack-pull as a once-in-a-generation “gravity-cancellation” moment. Reaction clips slow-mo every millimetre, Reddit flame-wars debate the ROM, and fitness educators are already folding the lift into lessons on joint-angle specificity. The tone ranges from analytical awe (“pound-for-pound supremacy”) to meme-driven hysteria (“MSTR in human form!”), but unanimity reigns on one point: nobody this light has ever moved this much iron on camera.
