Gym buffs have a reputation for being aggressive and ‘roid raging’.<\/p>\n
But this balletic body builder is a law until himself.<\/p>\n
During the journey to beef up his chiselled body, it seems Vadim Skornyakova has taken the time to learn the jive, the moonwalk, the funky chicken, and Indian-style dance.<\/p>\n
And having built up quite the repertoire, he knew just the place for his debut: Russia’s body building tournament.<\/p>\n
Competing for the title at Saint Petersburg’s 25th Cup Championship, Mr Skornyakova took to the stage before a room of rivals to strike his mandatory poses.<\/p>\n
But the competitors and their families were left open-mouthed as he, instead, burst into a fully-fledged dance routine.<\/p>\n
He emerges on to the stage sideways, with arms outstretched in the style of traditional Indian dance.<\/p>\n
For good measure he throws in some classic body building poses – before jumping into some token jive moves that celebrity contestants on Strictly Come Dancing strive to master.<\/p>\n
Singing along to the music – now a primary school song – he completes the performance with a moonwalk, some kicks and an artful spin before skipping off, leaving his competitors screaming and applauding.<\/p>\n
The Russian video has attracted viewers from all over the world, mesmerised by Mr Skornyakova’s technique.<\/p>\n
The host shakes his head in disbelief saying: ‘Well… Vadim is an incredibly positive person!’<\/p>\n
One fan wrote on YouTube: ‘He had so much fun, this is so inspiring.’<\/p>\n
Another said: ‘I hope he won. I will be watching this again.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
