5'3, 103 lbs...how many of y'all would it take to lift me above your head?

Question

It's for a stunt in cheerleading. I'm flying for the first time and I need to know how many average to strong guys it would take to do this stunt with me called flatback where the flyer is held above the heads of the bases, their arms are completely outstretched and the flyer lays stiff as a board with her back on their palms. I need to know how many of y'all it would take to do this stunt with me and how difficult it would be to support someone my size. Thanks!

Answer 1

2

Answer 2

if you are flying for the first time, I would suggest that you have a minimum of 2 until you feel comfortable "in the air"

In this particular stunt, the flyer has to remain rock hard stiff or the base will most certainly loose balance.  The base needs to be able to maintain your body weight, so choose a guy that has the ability to lift and control the stunt.

this stunt is generally reserved for the advanced cheer squad, so please have spotters available and be careful!

Answer 3

it would only take me alone since i can bench 225 am 5'8 180 pounds

Answer 4

hmm...i think i take 2.....that is a heavy one you know..but hey~no offense

Answer 5

I'm not sure how I found this in rugby questions but I am 250-260lbs and it only takes two people who know what they are doing to lift me up (I play lock)  and I lift bigger guys than that by myself - it is simply a matter of technique not size..

Answer 6

I'm a chick and I could do it by myself....

Answer 7

2 but three would be safer
