indeed. I have no other way of explaining how 90kg x 2 military press feels lighter than a 45kg girl well balance issues and the fact that the weight isn't evenly distributed like on a barbell or dumbbell.

I'm not flexible or acrobatic for shit, strength's pretty much all I've got so need to pick up on these things fast. Would be much easier having a fit/petite girlfriend who's a cheerleader then you could practice on her all day every day and not just for a couple of hours a week.

Stuff like this is quite inspiring though.

Holy fucking shit that was awesome


I just googled awesome stunts, haven't really filtered through what's good and what's not.


looks sick.


Lol @ male flyers btw

Once you have the base strength needed you need to get better at the Skills. As long as you are strong you will have a very good potential of learning quicky through COED/Partner stunts progression

From my experience you should follow about this pregression: (This is for 1 base stunts not 2 bases)

Novice
1. Toss to hand and Walk/Step in
2. Dismount to the feet and cradle
3. Prep (hand position) to Extension/Cupie
4. Dismount to the feet and cradle from Extension/Cupie

Intermediate
5. Prep (hand position) to Liberty
6. Dismount to the feet and cradle from Liberty
7. Toss to Extension/Cupie
8. Toss to Liberty

Advanced (I was starting to explore and get better at this level)
9. Toss Tic-toc to Liberty
10. Toss full up to prep or extension
11. Toss one hand extension
12. Fancy dismounts (Cartwheel, 180/360 to feet, double twist to cradle, etc)

Elite:
13. One hand cupie switch to the other hand
14. Rewinds and other fancy mount
15. Double full up
etc.


Unless you are stunting with kids flyers you will need a really high power output to reach advanced/elite stuff. It's theorical but I'm talking about 300+ bench/200+ strict press/400+ squat/315+ clean (~in kg: 140+/90+/180+/145+) and I'm sure worlds best COED bases have much higher numbers since that's pretty much my level and I am/was no where near them.

Thanks for the advice broski.

the weight of the flyer still kinda hurts my wrists, I'm such a bitch lolol.


Our flyers vary in size, the smallest is like sub-40kg (90lbs) at most (azn hehe) the one I train the most with isn't small by any means, but rather fit (dat booty tho) I'd guess ~ 55 kg (min. 50 max. 60) but still feels heavier than 80kg on an olympic bar


Need to practice as much as possible on my own time since we only have 2 * 2 hour sessions a week, and I can't always demand a flyer to practice with as they're practicing group stunts, gymnastics, acrobatics and other competition stuff and have goals of their own... Would be selfish of me I get maybe ~ 1 hour PS practice/week.


As for strength requirement, I exceed the squat requirement and match the bench but holy fuck 145kg clean? Not really done that exercise before (gonna start now obviously) but I feel like 60-80kg is gonna be heavy.


Edit: these male cheerleaders competing in PS are swole as fuck tho

I had a male cheerleader at my high school

he changed schools because he got picked on all the time

I guess that wouldn't be too surprising that you'd be made fun of in middle/high school.

In college however, you get praised through the roof for it

Especially by girls, which is pretty much all that matters at this point in life.
