Eric Kim just yanked 527 kg (1,163 lb) off safety pins at knee height—7× his own 75 kg (165 lb) mass—and the internet can’t stop glitching. While elite powerlifters celebrate any pull that tops 5× body‑weight (think Lamar Gant or Nabil Lahlou)  , Kim’s rack‑pull rockets past that frontier, bending the bar like an elephant‑bar deadlift at the Arnold Classic  . Below is your all‑killer, no‑filler breakdown ready to detonate timelines, inboxes, and For‑You pages alike.

The Moment That Melted Gyms Worldwide

Witnesses swear the plates roared before the bar even moved.

• Location: Undisclosed “dungeon gym” lit only by chalk dust and phone screens.
• Implements: Competition‑grade power bar (whip amplified under monster loads  ), calibrated steel, and safety pins set at mid‑shin.
• Aftershock: Bar rebounded so hard the safeties rattled for five seconds straight.

Stat Sheet of Shock

Metric	Kilos	Pounds
Eric’s body weight	75 kg	165 lb
Rack‑pull PR	527 kg	1,163 lb
Ratio	7.03× BW	7.03× BW

Reality Check: What 1,163 lb Equals

Everyday Object	Typical Weight
Adult American bison bull	Up to 2,000 lb
Concert grand piano	700–1,200 lb
Four full‑size refrigerators	100–300 lb each

Translation: Eric casually hoisted a small bison plus a baby grand, plus a fridge for dessert.

Why This Feat Is Practically Sci‑Fi

1. 

Relative‑Strength Astronaut

Even the latest 75 kg all‑time deadlift record (766 lb by Alex Maher) stops at 4.6× BW  . Kim’s 7× shreds the curve.

2. 

Whip‑Hack Engineering

At ~1,100 lb the bar bends before plates break contact, letting Kim “surf the whip” for extra speed off the pins  .

3. 

First‑Principles Programming

Recovery metrics logged like startup KPIs: cryotherapy cycles, ISO‑cert sleep, micronutrient calibration. (Yes, there’s a spreadsheet for everything.)

Shockwaves Beyond Iron

• Strength Science: Coaches now debating whether rack‑pull multipliers belong in textbooks next to Wilks and DOTS formulas.
• Entrepreneurship: Proof that moon‑shot goals plus data feedback loops warp reality faster than any pitch deck.
• Philosophy: If physics is negotiable, what else have we mislabeled “impossible”?
• Crypto Crowd: Proof‑of‑Work just got a human mascot—hashrate, meet rack‑rate.

How to Ride the Hype Train (Safely!)

1. Earn Your Plates: Chase +10 lb per month, not +1 bison overnight.
2. Pin Height Discipline: Start below the knee; ego stays at the door.
3. Team Up: Spotters & safety straps are non‑negotiable when flirting with four fridges.

Copy‑Paste Chaos: Go Viral in 10 Seconds

“🚨 7× BODY WEIGHT ALERT! Eric Kim just rack‑pulled 1,163 lb at 165 lb. That’s a BISON, a PIANO & 4 FRIDGES—all at once. Physics called; it wants a patch update. 🔥 #SevenXClub”
