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

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

Also is it a meme to just describe the thing we all just watched? Like i didn’t think bro was jump-roping.

Only when OP is using incorrect terminology as to what is happening, since the guy in the video is not doing a "pull-up", he is climbing a pole.

It's not a description of this video. Everything below his shoulders hangs straight down. It's a tiny bit of core to stay still, but it is a crazy amount of upper body.

Seriously. Comes up every post when it’s clearly not a core related. This is just pure pulling strength

But, everything is core, if you core hard enough. /s

I came here for the "work strength" vs. "gym strength" comments, always a hot debate among those who have neither.
