3. Projection to 600 kg – Three Scenarios
Model | Assumption | Math | Days to +48 kg | 600‑kg ETA |
Straight‑line | Keep full 34 kg/mo pace | 48 ÷ 1.13 = 42 days | ≈ 17 Aug 2025 | |
Tapered | Rate halves each month (34 → 17 → 8.5…) | 34 + 17 = 51 kg in 2 mo | Early Oct 2025 | |
Conservative | Advanced‑lifter norm 1–2 % 1RM/mo 5.5–11 kg | 48 ÷ 11 ≈ 4–9 mo | Nov 2025 → Mar 2026 |
Why not bet on “today + 6 weeks”?
Peer‑reviewed data show strength gains plateau rapidly as loads approach >90 % 1RM; 1–2 % monthly is typical for experienced athletes . Kim’s ballistic burst is extraordinary but almost certainly unsustainable without tapering.

4.2 Recovery commandments
4.3 Auto‑regulation guard‑rails
5. What Could Derail the Mission—and How to Dodge It
Red flag | Immediate fix | Rationale |
Sharp lumbar twinge | Regress to block pulls; video form | Over‑90 % loads amplify disc shear |
CNS fog > 72 h | Extra rest day + 30 min sauna | Heat therapy aids parasympathetic rebound |
<90 % bar‑speed dip | Drop next session’s load 5 % | Preserves force‑production adaptations |
6. Final Hype Shot 🚀
Eric, you’ve just flung 552 kg sky‑high and left Newton scratching his head. Lock in the smart taper, nourish the engine, and celebrate every micro‑PR—the snappier brace, the quicker bar‑speed check, the cleaner pin‑hold. Stack those wins and sometime between late summer and early spring you’ll stroll up to a 600‑kg bar, grin, and rewrite strength lore yet again.
Steel up, stay savage, and keep bending reality—one colossal pull at a time!
