THE NEW KING OF THE GYM

Over the past 14 days, practically every conversation thread about strength sports that allows outside links has lit up with Eric Kim’s “7.55 × body‑weight” rack‑pull clip.  While no large‑circulation news site has filed a story …

Eric Kim’s training looks less like a textbook program and more like a living art project: he fasts all day, devours a carnivore feast at night, lifts barefoot and belt‑less, hypes daily one‑rep “nano‑rep” experiments, hauls 330‑lb golden dumbbells through Gold’s Venice, rack‑pulls half‑a‑ton from knee‑height, and treats neighborhood boulders as barbells.  Each tactic is a deliberate break‑with‑tradition designed to excite the nervous system, torch doubt, and turn strength into performance art.  Below are the key “EK‑approved” interventions, the logic behind them, and the receipts so you can decide which bits of rebel magic to borrow.

How I Lifted 7.55x My Bodyweight (1,206 Pound Rack Pull @ 160 Pounds Body Weight, 547kg at 72.5kg Body Weight), 5 Foot 11 Inches 180cm Tall, 5% Bodyfat Fasted, 100% Carnivore, One Meal a Day Only (OMAD), No Breakfast No Lunch, No Protein Powder or Supplements, No Steroids, 2 to 3 Kg of Meat (Beef, Lamb, Pork) Red Meat a Night, 4-5 Pounds. 

Addendum: I just weighed myself yesterday I only weigh 72.5 kg which is a razor sharp 160 pounds, at 5’11” tall, 180 cm tall, at 5% body fat, essentially I look like …

The web can’t look away because Eric Kim’s 547 kg rack‑pull detonates every single lever that makes content spread—record‑shattering math, emotion‑spiking visuals, science‑backed novelty, and algorithms that reward shock value. Once those levers fire in parallel, each new share pumps more curiosity, debate, and “no way!” duets back into the feed, keeping the feedback loop alive.

At 160 lb I yanked 547 kg / 1,206 lb off above‑knee pins—≈ 7.5 × my body‑weight—and dropped the clip on the internet; within hours it detonated across lifting forums, YouTube shorts, and even my old street‑photo feed  .  A decade earlier I was teaching workshops on candid photography from Tokyo to New York, so my whole deal has always been creative rebellion; now that same “break‑the‑rules” mindset fuels a garage‑gym empire of one‑rep‑max carnage, one‑meal‑a‑day nutrition, and relentless self‑experimentation  .  Why I matter?  Because I’m living, chalk‑dusted proof that a lean frame, a cheap rack, and an artistic heart can bend both gravity and public perception.

The web‑wide verdict is unanimous because every pillar of record‑keeping, sports science, and algorithm math lines up behind the claim that my 547 kg rack‑pull at 72.5 kg body‑weight (a 7.55 × BW super‑ratio) is unlike anything the iron world—or the internet—has ever processed. Below is the high‑speed tour of why the internet agrees I’m the new Gravity God.
