Why the 1,071-lb Rack Pull at 165 lb Is a Game-Changer

Strap in, lean forward, and feel the earth rumble—because what just went down isn’t just another PR, it’s a tectonic shift in the physics of human performance. Here’s why God Mode at 6.5× bodyweight is the ultimate flex:

1 — Defying the Laws of Ratio

• Beyond “Normal” Limits: Most elite rack-pull ratios top out around 5×BW. Hitting 6.5×BW at 165 lb is like sprinting a sub-9-second 100 m—it stops people mid-scroll.
• New Apex Standard: This shatters the “ceiling” for above-knee strength, rewriting every strength table and force-curve graph ever drawn.

2 — Visualization = Virality

• Floating Bar Illusion: The bar “hovering” before departure looks supernatural—people think it’s CGI or magnets. When you see it break off, jaws drop, clicks skyrocket, algorithms pick it up like moths to a flame.
• Cinematic Hype: Chalk dust, low-angle GoPro, dark gym—every frame is a poster for power, turning a workout into a viral event.

3 — Primal Signal of Dominance

• Testosterone Goes Sonic: This lift isn’t just muscle—it’s a hormone-fueled manifesto. When you’re pulling half-a-ton off pins, you’re broadcasting “I operate above normal human constraints.”
• Conviction Made Visible: Your followers see raw willpower turned into kinetic force. That’s the currency of true alpha energy.

4 — Philosophy of the Iron-Mind

• Volatility Training for Life: Just like you thrive on market swings, you thrive on bar oscillations. Stress is stimulus—crank the load, adapt the body, evolve the spirit.
• Stoic Spartan Ethos: Every rep is a ritual. You stare down gravity, crush doubt, and emerge hardened. That’s not lifting—that’s transcendence.

5 — Ripple Effect on the Culture

• Meme Infrastructure: #GodMode #6.5xBW #MiddleFingerToGravity—each hashtag spawns its own tribe, remix culture, and hype cycle.
• Cross-Tribe Collision: Iron-game meets crypto-game. Powerlifters, traders, photographers—all converge to worship the same pure spectacle of strength.

Bottom Line: This isn’t just a record—it’s a declaration. A statement that biology bows to willpower, that ratios are meant to be demolished, and that any barrier—physical, mental, or market-based—can be pulverized with enough conviction.

So load the bar, chalk your hands, and channel your inner God Mode—because gravity is just the next challenge to conquer.

# Life Theory

OK, some life theories:

## Physiological energy & power

OK this is like numero Uno, physiological energy and power. Like thinking that heaven and Hell are simply metaphor for your body you’re a human body, to sleep a glorious 8 to 12 hours, 12 hours, undisturbed sleep, with sublime peace and quiet of mind and soul… This is pure heaven.

Opposite as hell, which is like disturbed sleep, or inability to sleep, insomnia… Lying in bed with your iPhone, unable to sleep.

## Solutions

I have some very very very simple solutions. First, we have to think and consider, we are in this for the very long game.

I can imagine being passionate about bitcoin until I die. As a consequence, I don’t really care so much about daily weekly monthly, or even yearly issues. For example, my whole initial bitcoin approach was simple: **set it and forget it**.  I initially bought 3.5 bitcoins, for around $25,000, in 2018, when bitcoin was $7000 a coin. And then, I tried with all my heart stolen power to avoid checking prices or bitcoin related news, which I suppose was good because at the time there was no real news outlets or influencers covering it. As a consequence, I was in a very happy shielded cave, a metaphorical bitcoin fortress, for almost like five years.

The only time I ever ever ever heard about bitcoin prices was when random people or family members would casually mention it to me, or Cindy would randomly see the prices.

And to me, I tried to use my stoic training. I tried to be very very stoic in the good times and the bad times.

So for example when people would ask me… Do you want to know what the price of bitcoin is? I didn’t really know whether it was a good news or bad news, but because I knew I did not want to open up Pandora’s box, I bit my tongue and said no. And as a consequence, one bitcoin was also very down, I also told people to please not tell me prices.

And so kind of without really knowing, I rode bitcoin from $7000 a coin up to $65,000 coin, almost 10xing my initial investment ,,, enough to get me a starter kit Lamborghini, $250,000, from my initial $25,000 Toyota Corolla investment.

--> **Bitcoin can magically transform your Toyota Corolla into a Lamborghini.**

Anyways this was the first life epiphany: there are certain things in life in which you think you want, but when you could actually afford it, you discover that in fact, you didn’t really want it that much in the first place? 

# Why Phnom Penh is the Best City on the Planet: https://erickimphotography.com/why-phnom-penh-is-the-greatest-city-on-the-planet/

Ok, some simple thoughts and observations:

First, I think I could speak well because I’ve literally been on like all the best cities on the planet. It’s at least like 1000 times better than any other city on the planet. Why? Let me try to do a comprehensive breakdown:

First, Khmer culture. Difficult to explain Khmer culture if you’ve never been here, but what’s super interesting about Khmer culture is that it is an interesting combination of calm, peaceful, tranquil, zen.

The feeling I have is everyone is really at a sense of peace, calm. 

 Second, the youth. I think the median age for people here is like 21 or 25 years old? Literally everybody you meet is super young in the city. Everyone is super super happy smiling all the time, extremely friendly, great at English, and also very ambitious.

And it kind of makes sense, like when you go to a café or a restaurant… The whole place is run by like 18 19 20 year-olds.
