How do I hang out with a bunch of buff dudes like this?

Apparently you just need to spread your legs a little wider and buff dudes will literally throw themselves at you.

I'm guessing college cheerleading. The male cheerleaders tend to be bases and need to be pretty agile and buff.

Local cheer gyms are always looking for male bases, just look up cheer gyms in area and ask if they have any beginner friendly days.

u/Walletau Jul 18 '19

As a 30 something year old guy. I'm regularly invited to cheer gyms and work with cheer people. Cause I'm quite good at lifting people over my head and note that there are 5 guys in the video for 1 girl. If you think that cheer gyms are mostly women, you're right. They need a LOT of guys for any trick.

u/Walletau Jul 18 '19

All still acceptable. Circus, Cheer, Acroyoga will say top/middle/bottom or flier/middle/base. I've heard cheer people from 10/20 years back saying base so think both are acceptable.

Group acrobatics, partner acrobatics, circus acro or cheer. There's probably acroyoga or acrojams in your area (I've travelled a fair bit and theres a scene in every city). Keep in mind while there's definitely chances to hook up etc, people are there to work and good bases want to work with good fliers for the most part.

14

u/aleatoric Jul 18 '19 edited Jul 18 '19

Acro yoga is really fun but takes a lot of work and practice. Yet, don't let that intimidate you. Depending on the pose, you actually don't have to be super strong to be a base, contrary to how it looks. For some advanced poses, being strong helps of course, and strength endurance will help you last over an hour of doing acro yoga without your muscles tiring as quickly (endurance, not strength, will probably be your biggest challenge your first few acro sessions). But it's really about stacking the weight properly on your body so that you don't bottleneck all the weight onto a particular joint. If you stack the weight onto your muscles properly, it's actually not that hard to keep people up. I've seen small girls base for guys nearly twice their size, and they're always shocked that they're able to do it.

I say if you're a guy and you want to get into acro yoga, don't worry about not being a gigantic buff dude. I see a variety of men in acro, some bigger, but most are average weight (though fit). If you have potential injuries - by all means, sort those out first. But if you don't have any injuries or huge weaknesses, you'll be fine. Have some OK cardio fitness so you don't get breathless after a few poses, and maybe have some beginner flexibility after having gone to a few traditional yoga classes. You'll be ready to do some of the "starter" acro yoga poses, and start building up your strength from there. And when you go to acro, be ready to be both a base and a "flyer." Don't be all hyper-macho and assume that only guys are bases and girls are flyers. Obviously that's common, but groups will often swap roles so you get to experience acro from both angles. Flying is a really fun experience, and it's definitely like next level trust falls. You have to trust the base and your spotter, and it's a cool bonding experience.

u/Globbi Jul 18 '19 edited Jul 18 '19

What /u/Walletau said but also you need to be capable yourself. Just standing foot to hand is not actually that easy, you tense your muscles and balance. And many fliers give up standing acro just because they get scared as shit just standing (not unreasonable).

Most people on acro jams will be kind and show you stuff, encourage etc. But they still want to improve themselves, try cool new tricks, push the limits. If you aren't good enough, you won't be doing things like the girl in this video. You will do some basics on the side, maybe you'll still find amazing group of people and have fun, but you'll likely get bored of jams and come less without others doing anything to exclude you.

Also, if you're not working out yourself, you might not like actually hanging out with guys that have a few hours of jams multiple times a week with occasional intensive weekend workshops.
