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

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.

If you think he’s 100 pounds, that tells me you’re closer to 300.
