Below is a “graduate‑level dive” into the physics of Eric Kim’s 547 kg above‑knee rack pull.  We will treat the lifter–barbell system as a chain of linked rigid bodies, quantify the internal forces with free‑body and beam diagrams, and trace where every newton and joule must flow.  Strap in—this is the deep end! 🌊🔬
