I have done heavy weighted pullups for over 5 years. Nothing for my abs specifically - other than L-sit pullups would count? My abs are strong as F. Dragon flag, hollow body on floor, leg raises - everything is easy mode. Going up a 7 m rope hands only in L-sit is cakewalk. Pullups are massively underrated in terms of anterior core development. In contrast practically all abs exercises feel like waste of time for me.
Abs help put other muscles into best position to produce force but they arent really resisted in doing this also you can do pullups without using your abs its just much harder and feels unnatural.
Hei Simon, can you do a video about shoulders mobility? I have a problem with straight line in the handstand and i don't understand if it is a muscolar or articular problem. I try to improve day by day with different exercises, but there are little variations. Mi upper body and spine have a little tendency to protraction and bending. It requires a compensation from lumbar i think. But i see that the most critical thing are shoulders, maybe something that involves also the movement of scapulars and their activations. Have you got a solution for me?
So in conclusion if you get stronger in pullups you don't just have strong pulling muscles but abs, arms and lata, seems like a win win to me

Possible they are
Now try the dragon press
I never do Abs, just pull ups, overhead press and lunges. Yet my abs are rock solid

What bodyweight exercise primarily targets the back then? Front lever progressions ?
Body weight rows ( these count as front lever pull up progression )
Inverted Row for upper back. Back Lever for Lower Back.
@@bharatmatakayoda really? Forgot about these cause I found front levers too hard to learn. Might get back to this
