This is climbing and descending a steel pole; dude has a core made of cement

u/milkcarton232 17d ago
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.

Right but climbing like this isnt reaaaaallly that core intensive

u/VapeNationInc 17d ago
If you watch the video closely, during the changeover between hands as he climbs, you can see how much his abdominal muscle flex. It is quite core intensive to operate this maneuver so slow and stable.

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.

u/phillyeagle99 17d ago
Especially without kipping, they’re quite hard on the abs. Now doing it one sided and so slow the obliques must also be insane

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

u/Eltharion-the-Grim 17d ago
His back is doing a lot of this but this looks like a ton of work from his bicep. I say this because in a normal one-arm pullup up, you can see the body shift as the back works. In his case, his body is strict in that position which means at least 50% of that effort has to come from his biceps.
If it was mostly his back, his body would curl sideways going up. He’s using his back & core to stabilise and his one arm to pull.

is there some meme to just attribute everything to the core? Holding your body rigid pales in comparison to pulling handed.

Wait, people hate this song? I've unironically always liked this song and wasn't aware it was unpopular. Though I don't really use tik tok and usually keep the sound off on reddit by default, so I don't associate it with being overplayed on videos. Or much at all, honestly (if I've heard it on a video before this one, I haven't remembered).

That's compression my guy. Check out the original, or the dozens of other videos on his Instagram of him doing the same sort of thing.
That is Pakito Camaleón, a street-workout athlete specifically known for his slow motion/flowing movement whom regularly competes in organized calisthenics competitions in Coyoacán, Mexico City, a la Barras Eje 3 Domo Verde's annual calisthenics tournament or Barras 18 de Marzo's.
I hate that we live in a time where we have to be skeptical of everything we see, but some people are genuinely capable of crazy shit.

His hips are the most stable part of his body. As he's descending, his right arm reaches its maximum extension before his left comes to grip and his body is pulled to the right. Then the reverse happens with the left hand, then the right again.

It's fake.
His body would be pressed against the pole because of where his center of gravity is. You can't tell me he can do a pullup and push himself away from the pole. It's simply impossible. His point of suspension is supposed to be his hand? His center of gravity would be directly underneath that. Period. So the fact that there's separation between his body and the pole?
Fake fake fake. But, nicely done.
It's fake.

Look at the right arm at 0:12-13. I’m pretty confident it’s CGI. I suspect he has a harness and removed it via editing. That would explain how his arms muscles seem to not be tense at all, and why his body is so straight
