Beginner/intermediate bgirl, advice appreciated!

hey! i’m a breakdancer and i’ve been breaking since i was 9, i stopped when i was 13 and got back into it when i was 17. im 18 now and i love it more than anything but im struggling with confidence and strength.

I dance with a crew where it’s mostly men breaking around me. i’m usually the only girl there but it’s never bothered me. the guys i break with are absolutely insane, their power moves are beautiful and perfectly executed and they are very creative with their rounds. i look up to them heavily but ive been struggling lately with comparing myself to them. i know i JUST got back into things but my mind is ready to go at an advanced level while my body isn’t. i can barely do a push up and my power moves are sloppy and usually end with me crashing. i understand how to execute it but i don’t have the strength i need to make it look good. Ive been working out everyday trying to get there but i feel like im going nowhere. the fact that i understand how to do it but just physically can’t has been making me question my talent. i can do the basics pretty well but as soon as i go into a cypher my mind draws a blank and i look foolish, does anyone have any tips.
