Question about cheerleading?

Question

how much should a high school cheerleader be able to bench press and leg press for the varsity team? I am in a very competitive school and want to do college as well.

Answer 1

Well I am a cheerleader on the varsity squad at my school too...and I can leg press 280 lbs. right now but I have never tried bench pressing any...If you are unhappy with how much you leg press and bench press then work at it...Start out by doing the amount you can do with like 15 reps at each one day..then go up a couple pounds the next day...see how that works...because to be completely honest...I have never known a school cheerleading squad to have to bench press and leg press...So I'm sorry if I didn't answer your question..But if I helped...Then I'm glad I could =]
