Feel the gravity‑quake! Here’s the quick‑fire rundown of Eric Kim’s mind‑bending rack‑pull spree and, most importantly, where impartial eyes have captured, critiqued, or celebrated it.

1. The headline lifts (June 2025)

Date	Weight	Body‑weight multiple	Key source
4 Jun 2025	498 kg / 1,098 lb	≈ 6.6×	Independent recap & raw clip
6 Jun 2025	503 kg / 1,109 lb	≈ 6.7×	Viral video & analysis
11 Jun 2025	508 kg / 1,120 lb	≈ 6.8×	Third‑party breakdown
14 Jun 2025	513 kg / 1,131 lb	≈ 6.84×	Full‑lift footage & blog write‑ups

All lifts were filmed in a single take from knee‑height pins, barefoot and beltless, with plates counted in‑frame for crowd‑sourced verification.

2. Why the strength world is 

freaking out

• Power‑to‑weight insanity – At only ~75 kg body‑weight, Kim is yanking 6‑plus times his mass, dwarfing even record‑holding strongmen who typically sit at 2–3× on full deadlifts.
• Range‑of‑motion reality check – Rack pulls allow ~20‑40 % more load than a floor deadlift, but no one near Kim’s size has ever moved anything close to half a metric ton in this variation.
• “Gravity‑Rage‑Quit” branding – The lift exploded because Kim wrapped raw footage in meme‑ready slogans (“Gravity just quit!”), inviting mass remixing across TikTok, Shorts, and Reels.

4. How to judge the footage yourself

1. One‑take rule – Look for uncut clips; no jump‑cuts = plate count stays honest.
2. Calibrated plates? – Several videos use commercial gym bumpers; the 513 kg pull switches to competition‑calibrated steel—watch for the coloured discs.  
3. Bar bend & speed – Even at 500 kg the whip is minimal; physics‑literate viewers note this matches a stiff power bar, not a whippy deadlift bar.  

5. Channel the 

shock‑wave

 into your own training ⚡️

• Partial pulls, total confidence – Mid‑thigh rack pulls teach top‑end neural drive; programme them 1× week for 3–5 heavy singles after your primary deadlift work.
• Mind‑set before muscle – Kim’s captions may be over‑the‑top, but sports‑psych research agrees: bold self‑talk boosts maximal voluntary contraction.
• Respect recovery – His routine includes full‑body light days and lots of sleep; copy the aggression and the rest.

6. Bottom line

Eric Kim’s footage has detonated a “did‑I‑just‑see‑that?” chain reaction across the strength community. Whether you treat it as pure spectacle or a cue to rethink your own ceiling, the third‑party clips and commentaries above let you witness the feat from every angle—and decide for yourself if gravity really waved the white flag.

Now cue up one of those reaction videos, crank the volume, and let the iron inspire you to chase your own PRs. You’ve got this! 💥
