Yikes!.. not the best robotic moves I've seen.Could Mr Vishnevskiy be muscle bound or maybe his postage stamp size briefs are chafing!

Re: Robot Bodybuilder: Alexander Vishnevskiy
i don't think he's terrible, per se. it's just that, well, the robot is a dance that cannot be successfully executed while flexing muscle mass.

function over form
ignore at your peril the next generation of the dance move known as The Robot.
armed only with your criterion of slim mercurial michael jacksonesque 1980s "pop-&-lock" models of the automaton, you invite your own destruction. beware the 21st century and the new wave, the new model, the COLOSSUS style of "flex-&-crush".
i'd rather have a robot that can lift a car than one who can do the electric boogaloo 2

Re: Robot Bodybuilder: Alexander Vishnevskiy
If I had managed to get through life without ever being exposed to something like this I would have been fine with it.
Now that I have been exposed to it, however, I'll never view a body builder quite the same way again.
Maybe next time he'll throw down some sick windmills mixed in with some pop-lockin'.

The headline description itself deserves a 10.

Someone doesn't like "Pocket Calculator", written by God Himself and handed down to the greatest avant-garde band that ever existed, Kraftwerk.

Re: Robot Bodybuilder: Alexander Vishnevskiy
The song in the first half of the video is not "Pocket Calculator", it's "Die Roboter" (The Robots). Get your Kraftwerk right. Also, what's so wrong with this video? You should take a look at how an actual bodybuilding competition/show takes place before bitching about this guys routine. There's a pre-judging round, where the competitors do compulsory poses. This takes place during the day. There's also a free-pose round, which usually takes place at the night show of the competition (which is where this clip is from). During the free-posing round, the competitors are allowed to do whatever they want, as long as they pose. They can play the music they want, do a routine they want for as long as they want, whatever. Some competitions even allow competitors to use props (like King Kamali did at the Arnold Classic in 2004).
Anyway, just because one guy chose to do the robot in combination with posing, to add an entertaining aspect to his routine, doesn't mean you should mock him. I don't see you doing that, and that's probably because you're either 130 pounds or you've got at least 20% bodyfat.

Re: Robot Bodybuilder: Alexander Vishnevskiy
The song he does in his performance is a remix of "The Robots" but do you know what I can find it-the remixed version? Because I want to play it...and dance to it. But other than the song-I agree with your opinion. It was a creative routine and he looked good in doing so.
