So at the body weight of 165 pounds, roughly 75 kg, I was able to lift 1071 pounds, 486 kilograms.,. Which is like roughly 6.5 times my body weight.
Now from a superficial perspective, this seems ridiculous. It’s like if you took a 100 pound man, and he lifted 650 pounds?
Also, I think what’s really impressive… I’ve been obsessed with power strength muscle as a kid until now… Is even Hapfthor, the guy who famously dead lifted 502 kg, at like 400 pounds and like 7 feet tall. So if you do the math, assuming that he deadlifted lifted, like 1200 pounds, that’s maybe like at least three times his body weight. Yet I was able to double that, 6.5X bodyweight is the new supreme standard. 
A lot of people are kind of scratching their heads like… Hey, how did he even do that,… Why did he do that and I think more importantly now… What is the significance of this historic feat?
First, I’m like kind of quite certain that this is like some sort of you world record. For a fasted, non-steroid athlete, lifting that weight, also this is a big thing… Barefoot and without a belt,  and also, I don’t even consume protein powder?
Even better… I don’t have an Instagram. I deleted it in 2017, at the time I had about 60,000 followers.
I think even more hilariously confusing to people… Is why is it that ERIC KIM, a world famous photographer, street photography legend, how is it and why is it that he somehow is making his rounds in strength circles?
First, it is all connected. Assuming that street photography is by far, the most difficult form of photography out there, given that like it’s like 99% conquering your fears, then conquering your fears of lifting over 1000 pounds, 6.5 times your body weight… Might be scary to some people.
Like I’ll do the math and I was thinking about it, OK like let us say that even Brianne, I think he’s 400 pounds, and assuming that his on all of the steroids, I like the idea of him even doing a simple rack pull at 6.5x his Bodyweight. So that’s like him rack pulling 2400 pounds,… 1000 kilograms?
Brian Shaw should attempt to lift 1000 kg.
Better yet he should try to do it without a belt.
My personal thesis, I have never used or even touched a weightlifting belt in my life, I don’t even know how to use it. … the reason why this is significant is that I am the most intelligent wise courageous and legitimately strong human being on the planet because if you’re using a belt… Some sign signals:
First, it is a signal that you are scared. And or you have hurt yourself in the past, and or… A fear that you might hurt yourself into the future. 
Second, the problem with a belt is that it is also a signal that you’re probably watch some sort of fitness influencers, who all snort cocaine before attempting a new one Max, they are also probably wearing some sort of sponsored weight lifting shoes, and they’re also probably on steroids.
Ideally… Whoever attempts some sort of new world record, should try to do it like both barefoot, and also topless?
No sponsors no ads, why? If you attend some sort of world record, and the weight lifter looks like some sort of NASCAR driver, certainly it is in his incentive to use all the steroids he can, in order to break the world record. Because honestly I think at this point, nobody cares if you take steroids or not.
