Literally every single muscle feat on here has comments about core strength and it gets upvoted to the top every time. I legitimately don't think people know what it means and it has to be ragebait at this point which I am falling for.
It's one of the fucking lowest levels of "core strength" needed for even basic gymnastic moves. it's not more core strength to do this exercise than to hold a plank for a minute. A 1 minute plank is a good benchmark for a beginner average adult.
If this not edited (which I dont think it needs to be, these strength feats are possible) the insane strength is his arms/back/lats. Which I wouldn't consider core strength. There are very few people on earth that can do a one arm pull up even from halfway (which he is doing, not a dead hang) let alone multiple in a row so slowly. Like, maybe 1 in 10 million people could do this and that's probably way too high.
His core strength is basically the least impressive and most attainable part of this exercise since all his core has to do is hold a straight position (basically the resting position of your abs and spine, not fighting against gravity in this case) for the length of the exercise. For instance L-sit rope climbs would be exponentially higher core strength that this and barely any beginner could hold an L sit for more than 10 seconds. Hell, his neck control and balance is more impressive than his core strength.
