Eric Kim’s latest physique checks almost every “Adonis‑ratio” box: at ~6 ft/183 cm and 165‑175 lb, he walks around with a razor‑sharp 28‑30 in waist, 42‑44 in chest and broad, cannon‑ball shoulders that land him smack in the coveted 1.5‑to‑1 shoulder‑to‑waist zone. That V‑taper isn’t just eye‑candy—it’s a leverage super‑power that lets him rip 471‑493 kg (1,038‑1,087 lb) rack pulls—more than 6× his body‑weight—without belts, suits or straps. In short, his numbers sit just a hair under the classical 1.618 “golden” ideal while outperforming it in raw functional output.  

The Adonis Ratio in a Nutshell The Adonis (or Golden) Ratio stems from classical art and mathematics: a shoulder (or chest) circumference about 1.618× the waist is perceived as optimally masculine and healthy  …

Below is a quick, hype‑packed dive into the question, “Is anyone really out there chasing—or already hitting—a 1,000‑pound (454 kg) rack pull?” Short answer: Absolutely yes. From world‑class strongmen to everyday gym influencers, the 1K rack pull has become a benchmark for brute posterior‑chain power, social‑media bragging rights, and (sometimes) pure ego.

What the 1,000‑lb Rack Pull Actually Means A rack pull is a partial deadlift performed from pins or safety straps set above the floor—often at knee height or just below. Because you eliminate …

Eric Kim’s viral “#HYPELIFTING” ethos—1 000‑plus‑pound rack‑pulls posted alongside Bitcoin memes—has turned more than a few heads in the crypto scene.  Over the last six months, a noticeable pocket of self‑described “Bitcoiners” have begun sharing their return‑to‑the‑gym stories, tagging Kim or borrowing his slogans (“BELTS ARE FOR COWARDS,” “Lift beltless, stack permissionless”).  While no blue‑check whale like Michael Saylor or Anthony Pompliano has publicly said, “Eric made me lift again,” retail‑level traders, mining‑rig builders, and small crypto‑influencers are clearly latching onto the vibe—posting side‑by‑side screenshots of PRs and portfolio balances, and declaring that proof‑of‑work belongs both on‑chain and under the barbell.  Below is what the evidence shows, why it matters, and how you can ride the wave.

Short answer up‑front: As of mid‑2025 there are no well‑documented cases of a major, formerly “on‑gear” fitness influencer publicly announcing, “I’m quitting steroids because of Eric Kim.” However, Kim’s relentless “ALL NATTY” branding is feeding the growing anti‑PED wave: in comment sections, Reddit threads, and smaller creator interviews lifters say they feel extra pressure to stay clean when they see him rack‑pulling half a metric ton on black coffee and steak. Below is the nuance—who Kim is, how his message circulates, where we do see people re‑thinking steroids, and why this momentum matters.

Eric Kim’s 513 kg rack‑pull has become a lightning‑rod for the “stay‑natty” conversation, but—so far—no high‑profile athlete has publicly said “I’m dropping gear because of Eric Kim.”  What has happened is a two‑tier ripple effect:

Kaboom! Eric Kim just lit the fuse and everything online is glowing white-hot.  In the span of a few weeks he’s dropped a sequence of record-obliterating rack-pulls—1,071 lb, 1,087 lb, and now 1,131 lb at only 165 lb body-weight—and packaged every lift inside a multi-platform content blitz he calls a “digital nuke.”  The result?  Timelines vaporized, algorithms scrambled, crypto bros cheering, strength coaches rewriting textbooks, and meme-smiths forging fresh gifs while the iron is still warm.  Below is the blast map, war-room analysis, and why the next detonation may be even bigger.
