I'm 'sure' when you go to the club on a friday night and you start doing your moves the dancefloor will soon clear (perhaps not in a good way). If some bloke calls you an idiot for dancing like that then challenge him to a 'dance off'

actually i did think about that at one time. most blokes just stand there jigging. if i could dance like micheal jackson id be super popular. not just with kids. i can't risk people finding out tho.
Popping is the answer, it looks cool, it's not as strenuous as breakdancing, and most people in clubs are knobs who will be impressed with a couple of waves of your arms, and a a quick slide sideways. Just don't do it in a room full of wiggers otherwise you'll be the one getting challenged to a dance off.
Although breakdancing is pretty cool and gets you a lot of exercise, only problem is now it's like any cool thing. It's came so far in the last 10 years what was good then is oldskool, and what's good now will probably kill you if you try it :lol:

I must admit when i used to get very drunk in a club my mates would always try to get me to do a bit of breakdancing, i wasnt an expert but only did a few moves but it looked quite good and always got a good laugh from people as i wasnt doing it too seriously.
But the minute a breakdancing classic came on at a club my mates knew i would start trying to do a windmill or something !
Even bought (ahem) a breakdancing dvd which was quite funny, however a 13.5 stone bloke trying to do some moves just makes me look like a fat beatle on my back trying to turn over at times !
Can't be as bad as an 18 stone fat bloke dressed as Miss Mopp trying to do flares, in the back room of Bulletproof on a friday night when all the "Krews" are in there. Now that was a night to remember :lol:
It's not quite the same in clubs nowadays, though. There's too many people that are into this Step-Up or You Got Served breed of "sequence" popping and breaking, y'know, where they work out a routine between five or six of them, and come over and "serve" ya good and proper!! :grin:
Bring back the old days, where you started breaking and everyone else just formed a circle round you!!

ive never seen that, maybe you don't get it up north, would be fun to watch as some of those women are hotttt.
id like to serve at least one person before i hang up my dancing shoes. i did once head butt a guy once on the dance floor for looking at my bird, but that was more ABH than serving him.
I was skinnier than I am now, but I weighed 1.5 stone more, proof there was muscle there, even though I wasn't huge (didn't want to be I'm only 5.5 and I think people my size and build with huge muscles end up looking like the dwarf from Golden Axe).
I'm the exact same height as you - and I've had to recently stop high speed walking so much cos my legs are getting too chunky! (I'm not a power walker - just always late for things). I've started cycling into work instead still good exercise but not such a workout for the calf muscles - as it's flat road pretty much all the way.
It just looks ridiculous and highlights my lack of height if i start becoming too muscly anywhere - it's really noticeable. Toned is okay - chunkiness isn't! ;)

Actually, strangely enough it's more the blokes that do that sort of thing round my way, and the girls just stand there going "see him, I'm shagging him, I am" to each other!! No s***, the first time I had a shag from pulling in a club was after I had had a dance-off with some dude... This bird came up to me, when I was done "serving" him, and said "you're coming home with me tonight". And she was right... I did, bloody good shag it was, too. Damn, I was good back in the day!! :D
Myles: Try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXLWuOBLqwM
I managed to do them all for 20 the first time, except a couple where I gave in at 15. I had a bit of difficulty doing the cross over reverse crunch as my leg muscles aren't flexible at all, I've never been able to touch my toes, for example. My stomach hurt for 2 full days after I did that set of exercises the first time. Then 1, and after a few more times I was fine the next day. Still don't have a 6 pack but I'm quite skinny and all my guts have to go somewhere. Just trying to work off its layer of fat.
I've been doing 100 curls for a while and have moved onto 150 but I need to get some 4 or 5kg weights now, as I'm getting very comfortable with the 3kg ones.
Have also started doing ones for 20 reps where I start with the weights by my side and lift outwards into a T position to define my shoulders and upper back. Seems to be working so far.
Have also started to do squats for my legs, or sitting against a wall like I'm in a chair, but without the chair.
Also try doing a plank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHQmRINu4jU
It looks easy, but if you're doing it right, it's not. Don't forget to breathe.
The hardest bit with exercise is forcing yourself through the wall, the one where your body still aches the next day so the easy option is to order a pizza and watch TV. Of course, if you're in actual pain (not just an exercise ache) then don't go pulling something or getting a hernia.
I'm not really able to run because of my dodgy back/pelvic area, and besides I can only run about a mile before I feel like I'm going to die. First time I ran a mile in 15 years I got home, drunk 2 pints of water and slept for an hour :D
Also, if you're looking for the correct positions to do certain exercises, youtube is very good for demonstration videos.
I have put on 9kg in 3 months, the only fat is a bit around my stomach which I'm working on, and I feel a lot better than I did before.
Oh and make sure you don't need the toilet before you start. You can't exercise while holding in a dump :D
And make sure you have something high in energy to drink afterwards and maybe a hot shower too so your muscles don't cool too quickly.
I'm 5'8" and 10st7. 3 months ago I was 9st2.

Mainly from watching Beat Street, Breakdance (called Breakin' in the US) and an old "History Of Hip-Hop" video that had footage of the New York City Breakers vs The Rocksteady Crew on it.
I was a bit obsessed with the whole breakdance/electro/graffitti thing!! :-D

i think a video of you busting some moves would make everyone happy.

I completely winged it, when I got to about 18 years old, some breaker asked me if I wanted to join his crew. I said "haven't done any for about 10 years, show me some of it", then he did a really fast 6-step and went into a windmill. I tryed the same managed the stepping, failed the windmill and managed to pull it into a spacker style backspin and save some face. Hooked again I was until about 23, then I just suddenly stopped.
Thing that got me doing it again was at my wifes best friends wedding, she wanted me to break I was like no I haven't properly for about 10 years. Low and behold the DJ shouts my name out, and then announces to about 200 people I've never met that I'm gonna tear the dancefloor up.
I hid in the bog for about 15 minutes, thinking it'll blow over, wrong as soon as I walked back into the room the DJ shouts there he is and starts playing that awful Usher tune that has little John on it going "BLAH' and "HUAH".
I had on expensive and good clothes plus shoes not trainers, so I did a little popping, thing is I got a load of people coming up to me after telling me how awesome it was. But in reality, I was so pissed I could barely fucking stand nevermind dance :lol:

They probably didn't realise that though.... probably thought it was part of your routine. You should've said something like "yeah, I'm the Drunken Master, man... that's my style, you're all just biters"!! :grin:

Funnily enough I earned my nickname due to my drunken breakdancing, a lot of people I knew from way back whenever thought I was taking the piss at first (I was a little bit :D), but they all thought in the end that I was pretty good (Well I like to think so anyway).
I can't break very well sober.
Oh and there was one night when I did break really pissed, I kinda held it together, but at one point I was rolling around for a while. Apparently this one hardcore "Look at me I'm a breaker, Graffitti artist, rapper, gangsta, all rolled into one" was going to bottle me outside of the club cos' he thought I was taking the piss out of him (I was a bit but so fuck). He never came at me, which is exactly what I expected, he walked the walk and talked the talk, but at the end of the day I'm willing to bet his parents were multi-gazillionaires, with a 4 story house (above the basement), and he'd never had to work a day in his life.
Honestly, mate, I know how it feels... I've had people start on me because of dancing before. I had some bloke come up to me once threatening to shoot me (no, seriously), said his name was "Bandit" or "Outlaw" or something else daft!! Twat!!

when i give up, i give up, no second chances, no quiting the giving up.
i think there are better was to impress people, maybe i'll buy a cock pump.

If I ever make it back home and to one of these retro things maybe we can show em' how it's done.
.........oldskool style :D
".... Ladies and gentlemen, the WoS Forum Breakers"!! :grin:

Are you middle aged?
I'm the same age as you you gluey :D
