How to walk properly?

People at my job and a few of my friends give me shxt about how I walk.  I walk with my shoulders back, and chest out.  I keep my arms at my side and swing them back and forth casually.  I don't understand how my walk is ****ed up, I guess I need to videotape it or something.  It pisses me off though.

Everyone says when I walk I 'bob' up and down and from side to side. I don't see it however :/

V,
    You're the Clipart Photoshop GOD!

 

I saw you walk, it was not abnormal. Not that I remember, anyway. 

Do you have IBS? "Invisable lat syndrom". You know when you see a guy and his arms are out real wide like his lats are blocking his arms from resting at his side but really there is just air between his arms and sides. lol...I always think that is funny.

That's what happens to MOST people. Their internal rotators tighten up and their external rotators get long and weak from sitting and slouching forward a lot of the day, and as a result, all your body and posture leans that way.

Solution? Stretch internal rotators (Pecs, Lats) and strengthen external rotators (Rhomboids, Lower Traps, Subscapularis), how to strengthen these muscles? - With rowing movements focus on squeezing the rep at the top of the movement before bringing it back down, focus on that squeeze, it should be the most important part of a row/chin-up/pull-up.

You walk like you're about to kick anyone's a** who gets in your way.  It doesn't scare me though.

My friends call it ILS syndrome.  When I was really skinny I had a pretty big back and it looked that way.  Now I look more like a Silverback Ape in shape, and my back is like a car door.

to add to this make sure you have scapular retraction during rowing movements

That's what I implied by the squeeze at the top. But thanks for clarifying, I would've used proper terminology but I was tired as hell, lol. In any case, the more light shed on the subject the better.

And remember to beat good form and perfect posture into all your exercises with load. Chest out is a good guideline to help keep good posture.

lol ya, ILS. I had a few beers in me when I wrote that last night.

I walk like you do alot so maybe the people at your office walk weird and your the only one that walks normal?

Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

Most of them slouch their back a little and move their head side to side.

They also dance with massive dumbbells when curling - which is their 2nd favourite exercise next to Bench Pressing.

I run with dumbells sometimes and punch the air.

Is it legal to take pictures of things like this and post them on this forum? I have a few 110 pounders in XXXL shirts and jeans who do that sort of thing at my gym

I've listened to eye of the tiger doing that before.  Recently though I've been listening to the new All That Remains CD.  Pretty badass for running.

Let them be. It's the evolutionary chain with stupid people;
They die sooner, we live longer. :p

I usually punch my fist into my hands and crack my knuckles when I walk.

I hate those bouncing people!
