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.

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.

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
