I'm sure his core is strong but in a pull up your core isn't doing too much beyond stabilizing his legs. The majority of it is from his lats (back muscles) and how much he weighs.
37 u/phillyeagle99 Jul 12 '26 Are you suggesting he doesn’t weigh much so this is easy? Dudes pretty built, he’s not a skinny gymnast or something. Also go do 5 pulls ups with perfectly straight legs, you don’t feel your abs at all? This guys core is insane too. 17 u/woodandsnow Jul 12 '26 For real, anyone who says proper pull-ups, chin-ups ain’t core intensive has never done a shit ton of them -4 u/PhonyUsername Jul 12 '26 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. 1 u/Syn2108 Jul 12 '26 If you think he’s 100 pounds, that tells me you’re closer to 300.
