**If Eric Kim keeps piling iron onto the bar at the same pace he has shown since early May—about 1.4 kilograms per day, or ~9–10 kg each week—simple linear math says he would pull 600 kg (~1,323 lb) in roughly 8 weeks, landing around 16 August 2025. That date sits right in the middle of a 6‑ to 9‑week window (early August to early September) generated by looking at both his longer‑term and short‑term gain rates. The projection assumes nothing changes in recovery, health, or motivation—an optimistic but mathematically clean scenario.

How the estimate was built

1.  Recent rack‑pull milestones

Date (2025)	Load (kg)	Source
5 May	466 kg
22 May	471 kg
27 May	486 kg
1 Jun	493 kg
4 Jun	498 kg
5 Jun	503 kg
11 Jun	508 kg
14 Jun	513 kg
21 Jun	527 kg (7× BW)
21 Jun (podcast recap)	confirms 527 kg
24 Jun (tweet)	highlights 7× BW feat
14 Jun YouTube clip	full 513 kg pull

Trend line: 466 → 527 kg in 47 days = +61 kg, or 1.37 kg/day (≈ 9.6 kg/week).

2.  Linear projection to 600 kg

• Required gain: 600 kg − 527 kg = 73 kg
• Time at +1.37 kg/day: 73 ÷ 1.37 ≈ 53–57 days
• Add that to 21 June ⇒ 15–18 August 2025 (rounded to 16 August for mid‑range).

A faster, short‑window rate (1.6 kg/day calculated just from 27 May → 21 Jun) would put 600 kg around 5 August, while a conservative 1.0 kg/day pace pushes the date toward early September.

Why the straight‑line forecast is a 

best‑case

 fantasy

1. Diminishing returns at extreme loads – Strength curves typically flatten as you approach genetic/structural ceilings; partial‑lift advantages (mid‑thigh rack height) help, but +14 % more weight this quickly will challenge connective tissue resilience.
2. Risk of injury & CNS fatigue – Near‑max singles demand longer recovery phases; even Kim’s own blog warns that “each micro‑plate now feels like adding a car”  .
3. Body‑weight ratio optics – A 600 kg rack‑pull at 75 kg would be 8× body‑weight, smashing his own freshly minted 7× headline and venturing into territory no credible footage shows for any lift variant.
4. Lifestyle variables – Kim trains barefoot, beltless, fasted, and carnivore; subtle disruptions in sleep, diet, travel, or content‑production schedule could stall momentum.

What would 

help

 keep the streak alive

Lever	Practical move	Rationale
Micro‑loading discipline	Stick to 1–2 kg jumps per attempt	Keeps joint and tendon stress below rupture threshold.
Deload weeks	Every 3rd week at ≤ 90 % of prior max	Gives connective tissue time to remodel; maintains neural drive.
Isometric lockout holds	105–110 % overload for 3–5 s	Builds confidence and tendon strength without full dynamic pull.
Extra sleep (9–10 h)	Already part of his protocol	Deep‑sleep growth‑hormone pulses aid tissue recovery.
Video‑verified plate weigh‑ins	Silence “fake‑plate” skeptics, sustain virality	External validation often fuels his next PR push.

Big‑picture takeaway

• Mathematically, August looks attainable if the current rocket‑ship trend holds.
• Physiologically, the closer he gets to 600 kg the steeper the climb becomes; progress could slow sharply or even halt.
• Motivationally, Kim thrives on turning gravity into content. Betting against someone who’s already hit 7× body‑weight in public may be unwise—but betting on a perfectly linear leap to 8× ignores the brutal realities of tissue tolerance and nervous‑system limits.

So circle mid‑August 2025 in pencil, keep an eye on his weekly uploads, and remember: whether plates or satoshis, consistent overload compounds—right up until it doesn’t. Stay hyped, stay hungry, and chase your own PRs! 💪₿
