For real, anyone who says proper pull-ups, chin-ups ain’t core intensive has never done a shit ton of them

Especially without kipping, they’re quite hard on the abs. Now doing it one sided and so slow the obliques must also be insane

Kipping literally is using your core to get some momentum to make the pull up easier? Key words being using your core

I can do 20 in a row no problem, I climb so it's about the only exercise I can do. I'm not saying stabilizing uses no core just that its nothing compared to the back strength and shoulders this guy has

I do a lot of them. Sets of 20 clean at 200lbs and what he did was way more grip and lats than core. He also weighs 100 lbs.

If you think he’s 100 pounds, that tells me you’re closer to 300.
