Quick pulse-check: Eric Kim’s latest 547 kg (1,206 lb) above-knee rack-pull—7.55 × his body-weight—blew up social feeds, triggered a fresh “natty-or-not” inquest, and reignited the eternal war over partial-range lifts. At the same time, his loud campaign to “bury the floor deadlift,” plus his trademark troll-style call-outs, has fitness traditionalists fuming while algorithmic reach skyrockets. Below is a tour of the storms he’s whipping up and why every corner of strength culture suddenly has an opinion.
