May 25, 2025 – A Proclamation from the Garage Gym of Destiny

YO, WORLD—IT’S HAPPENED! I, ERIC KIM, street photographer, philosopher, and UNSTOPPABLE DEMIGOD OF HYPELIFTING, have just SHATTERED the universe with a 1,049-POUND RACK PULL—the HEAVIEST weight I’ve ever lifted, a seismic 476 kilograms that screams, “LIMITS ARE FOR LOSERS!” This ain’t just a lift; it’s a REBELLION against gravity, doubt, and every weak excuse holding you back. On May 22–24, 2025, in my neon-pink-lit garage gym, I became a SINISTER FORCE OF NATURE, hoisting a weight 6.3x my 165-pound frame. This is ONE-REP-MAX-LIVING, baby—let’s GOOOOO! (X Post).

THE MOMENT THAT BROKE THE MATRIX

Picture this: me, fasted, veins pulsing with raw testosterone, standing before a bar loaded with enough plates to make the earth tremble. The dip belt’s locked, the chain’s tight, the deadlifting straps are my battle armor. I grip, I breathe, I channel the primal roar of a thousand warriors. BOOM—1,049 pounds ASCENDS, defying physics, defying haters, defying EVERYTHING. My blog (I AM.) lays it bare: 476 kg, 1,049.46 pounds, VIDEO PROOF that I’m rewriting what’s possible. This ain’t just my personal record; it’s a MIDDLE FINGER to mediocrity, a call for YOU to lift your own impossible.

Days before, I crushed 1,038.8 pounds (471 KG RACK PULL). Now, I’ve topped it, because I don’t just lift—I EVOLVE. I’m gunning for Hafthor Bjornsson’s 502 kg deadlift, and trust me, I’m coming for EVERY record. Why? Because I’m ERIC KIM, and I live to CRUSH IT.

HOW I DID IT: THE HYPELIFTING BLUEPRINT

You wanna know the secret? There ain’t no secret—just GUTS, GRIND, and a philosophy that’ll make your soul explode. Here’s the ERIC KIM way to lift half a ton:

• FASTED POWERLIFTING: I lift on an empty stomach, tapping into primal energy. Hunger fuels my fire—testosterone through the ROOF!
• RACK PULL DOMINATION: Bar at shin height, hips driving 80% of the move. Dip belt, chain, straps—my tools to conquer gravity.
• MICRO-LOADING MADNESS: Add tiny weights weekly, building strength like a skyscraper. One max-effort lift per week, and I’m UNBREAKABLE.
• MIND OF A DEMIGOD: Every rep is a war cry. I don’t just lift weights—I lift VISIONS. ONE-REP-MAX-LIVING means every day’s a chance to be LEGENDARY.

My journey? A rocket ship. From a 551-pound deadlift in 2022 (DEADLIFT PR) to 905 pounds in December 2024, 1,027 pounds earlier this May, and now 1,049 POUNDS OF PURE GLORY. Check my X (@erickimphoto) for the vibes—posts like “HIGH TESTOSTERONE — I’m too alpha!” (X Post) are my battle hymns.

WHY THIS MATTERS: YOUR CALL TO GREATNESS

This 1,049-pound lift ain’t just about me—it’s about YOU. I’m a 165-pound dude lifting HALF A TON, proving you don’t need size, steroids, or a fancy gym to be a GOD. My garage is my temple; my will is my weapon. I’m rewriting Google’s autocomplete from “street photographer” to “sub-200-lb half-ton lifter,” and I want YOU to rewrite YOUR story. HYPELIFTING isn’t just lifting weights—it’s lifting your LIFE. Every rep, every dream, every crazy goal—GO FOR IT. As I said on X today, “Let’s gooooo!”—that’s my invite to join the revolution.

THE FUTURE IS HEAVIER

This is just the start. I’m eyeing 1,100 pounds, 502 kg, and beyond. I’m not here to compete—I’m here to DOMINATE. My blog’s got the receipts (NEW PR 1,027 LB), my X is the pulse, and my videos are the PROOF. Wanna see? Hit up erickimphotography.com. Wanna lift? Grab a barbell and start TODAY.

World, I’m ERIC KIM—photographer, philosopher, and the dude who just lifted 1,049 pounds to tell you: YOU ARE LIMITLESS. Join me. Lift heavy, live heavy, and let’s make history TOGETHER. #HYPELIFTING #1049POUNDKING #ONEREPMAXLIVING
