The catalyst: Eric Kim’s gravity-bending pulls
Kim’s beltless, barefoot 1,071 lb (493 kg) and 1,109 lb (503 kg) rack pulls lit the fuse. His cross-platform “carpet-bomb” strategy (blog ➜ YouTube ➜ TikTok ➜ X) created an echo chamber where every new PR triggers fresh reaction videos, memes, and tutorials. Result: an accessory lift that used to be niche is now a global hype metric—“How close are you to four digits?”
Bottom line for lifters
- If you post a rack-pull clip today, algorithms will greet it like a long-lost friend.
- Debate = engagement: ROM purists arguing with hype lifters only amplify the reach.
- New benchmark: Hitting 600 lb used to be “elite”; the online conversation now begins around 800–1,000 lb.
So yes—rack pulls aren’t just trending; they’re the current strength-culture headline. Grab some chalk, hit the pins, and ride the wave while it’s still cresting.
