    I am glad that you see the athleticism in male cheerleaders. Anyone who thinks male cheerleaders aren’t masculine has obviously never lifted a 130-pound girl over his head, tossed her into the air and caught her right before she hits the ground. Male cheerleading requires stamina, coordination and, most of all, strength. Here’s a strength-training regimen that focuses on the muscle groups male cheerleaders use most.

    Step 1: Warm up with five minutes of gentle stretching and 10 minutes of light aerobic exercise, like walking briskly or jogging slowly. This prepares your body for your training exercises and helps prevent injuries.

    Step 2: Select weights that are heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 repetitions. On the twelfth rep, you should just barely be able to finish the exercise. When you can perform 12 or more reps of an exercise easily, increase the amount of weight you use.

    Step 3: Strengthen your chest, back and shoulders and prepare to lift the female cheerleaders with bench presses, push ups, rowing exercises, pull downs and front raises.

    Step 4: Work your biceps and triceps with curls and dips.

    Step 5: Exercise your lower body with squats, lunges and calf raises.

    Step 6: Build your core muscles and improve your back flips with crunches, reverse crunches, oblique twists and pelvic tilts.

    Step 7: Rest each muscle group for one full day between training sessions to allow your muscles time to recover. Always stop if you feel pain during an exercise. Mild muscle soreness is normal, but sharp pain and sore or swollen joints indicate potential injuries.

    Cheerleaders are just like any other athlete. We are expected to eat healthy and keep in top physical shape. We are considered some of the top athletes on the planet, simply because of the incredibly strenuous movements we make. Tumbling, stunting, pyramids, basket tosses, etc.

    If you want to lose some fat, you have to do cardio. Do your strength training first and then lose the fat. That way, when you lose a substantial amount of body fat, you will able to see your muscles. But then again, there is a difference between having the body of a male cheerleader and DOING what a male cheerleader does. Too many guys think that just because they’re buff they can do it. Yeah, it HELPS to be buff, but there is also a lot of technique behind it. You will have to work hard.

    And as for the diet. Just stay away from fast food If you are a person who lies to cook, make healthy foods and exercise a ton. Stay away from the sugary drinks like sodas and processed juices. Stay away from processed foods like chips, cookies, etc.

    You can do it!

    Remember: Over time, not over night
