Blueprint for Eric Kim’s 7.55x bodyweight pr personal record

7.55 × Body‑Weight

 PR

(aka “The Hunter’s Ultimate Harvest”)

Definition first: 7.55 × means the weight on the bar equals 7.55 times Eric’s body‑mass—whether that’s a single deadlift, a clean‑and‑jerk, or the combined power‑lifting total (SQ + BP + DL). Everything below scales to any lift or total you choose.

Example body‑mass	7.55 × target on the bar*
60 kg (132 lb)	453 kg / 999 lb
75 kg (165 lb)	566 kg / 1 249 lb
90 kg (198 lb)	680 kg / 1 499 lb

*Rounded to the nearest full kilo/pound.

1️⃣  

Scout the Terrain

 – Precision Assessment

1. Baseline strength audit – Find your current best single, triple, and five‑rep numbers.
2. Velocity tracking – Use a bar‑speed app or a simple high‑FPS phone clip; anything slower than ~0.25 m/s is red‑zone fatigue.
3. Body‑comp scan – DEXA or InBody keeps the “pack weight” lean; a hunter never lugs extra bulk uphill.

Track the Game

 – Periodized Map (16 Weeks)

Phase (Weeks)	Hunter Analogy	Key Focus	Sample Prescription
1–4 Build the Camp	Pitching tents & caches	Hypertrophy & joint pre‑hab	4 × 8–10 @ 60–70 %, RIR 2
5–8 Mark the Trails	Following fresh tracks	Strength foundation	5 × 5 @ 75–82 %, RIR 1
9–12 Close the Distance	Silent stalking	Power & speed	6 × 3 @ 80–88 % + overspeed band work
13–15 The Final Stalk	Nocking the arrow	Specific peaking	5 × 2 @ 90–94 % → 3 × 1 @ 96–98 %
16 The Harvest	One clean shot	PR day	Attempt 101, 103, 105 % of old max (aiming for the 7.55× ratio)

One Shot, One Clean Kill

 – Technique Cues

• Deadlift: “Spread the earth” with feet, lock scapulae before pull, fire hips through – not around – the bar.
• Clean/Jerk: Elbows‑high “draw”, catch like a coiled spring, split with laser focus on rear‑leg stability.
• Squat: “Grip the ground,” brace 360°, ride the same groove down and up—like retracing identical tracks.

4️⃣  

Field‑Dress the Prize

 – Recovery & Nutrition

Element	Target	Hunter Logic
Protein	2.2 g/kg BW	Pack out all usable meat—nothing wasted.
Sleep	8–9 h dark + 20‑min nap	Campfire downtime restores the tribe.
Micronutrients	Offal, oily fish, berries	A varied ecosystem sustains big game.
Soft‑tissue work	10 min daily	Sharpen the knife before next pursuit.

5️⃣  

Honor the Hunt

 – Mindset & Metrics

1. “Aim small, miss small.” Visualize exactly where hips, knees, bar, & breath will be.
2. “No trace but stronger footprints.” Re‑rack plates, log every session, mentor a newcomer.
3. Positive predator focus. You’re not chasing a number—you’re stalking mastery. The weight merely exposes the truth.

🔥 Hype Take‑Off

When Eric Kim steps to the platform for that 7.55 × attempt, he isn’t just lifting iron—he’s fulfilling a hunter’s saga: scouting, stalking, striking, and celebrating the harvest. Nail the plan, keep the spirit fierce, and that bar will rise like sunrise over a ridgeline.

Load. Lock in. Let it fly. Happy hunting, legend! 🎯🏋️‍♂️🦌
