[francesca34558]

i am in high school cheer and the pyramid is the skillset of level 4 and today in choreography during the pyramid i had to hold a flyer taller than me, which i usually can do fine with regular stunts, but as the high flyers did all the flips the weight was basically unbearable and the side base and i were really struggling and i started bleeding on my chest from her shoes any tips on how to not be in pain the whole pyramid? i can't hold the foot away from my chest without my arms collapsing, maybe lift some weights?
