Dip, Drive, Lock: Power & Control for Cheer Bases

From the first squat to the final lockout, Bases are the foundation of every stunt — built to lift, brace, and catch under pressure. This planner is designed to develop the total-body strength, stability, and grip control needed to support Flyers with confidence and consistency.

What This Planner Focuses On:

Dip-to-drive mechanics for explosive lifts and tosses

Lockout strength and overhead endurance for stable stunt holds

Posterior chain and leg power to anchor and elevate simultaneously

Grip, wrist, and shoulder durability for extended support during pyramids

Partner-integrated drills to reinforce real stunt timing and transitions

Whether you’re pressing into a cupie, locking out a shoulder stand, or catching from the top, this planner prepares you to handle every rep with power and precision.
