MASTERS bodybuilder James Room has revealed the secret behind his incredible posing routines – doing the 'robot' as an 11-year-old and attending Halloween raves.
Room's routines are incredible to watch and get the crowd going like no other on the circuit right now. Starting in tradition bodybuilding guise, the music soon changes to a quicker beat – and this is where Room shines; breakdancing and making moves that a 20-year-old would be proud of, let alone someone in his fifties.
Speaking to frontdouble.com, he said: "I did this type of dancing as a teenager, but started with the robot at about 11 or 12 years old. It was all self-taught back then and was more 'popper' or 'electric boogaloo' than breakdancing.
"I recently danced on stage at a rave for Hallowwen after guest posing at the NAC Britain. I must have lost about 4kg in weight! The crowd loved it.
"I couldn't walk for two days after. The youngsters love it too. We had [junior bodybuilder] Kian Mills as a DJ and we all went dressed as Michael Myers [from the film 'Halloween']."
Room's latest exploits came at the PCA World Championships in Spain, where he added a twist for the locals based on Flamenco dancing.
