Question
i am 180 pounds am i to big to be a cheerleader

Answer
Honestly, that is an impossible question to answer because there are so many types of cheer squads and just b/c you are 180lbs doesnt really mean anything because everyone looks different at the same weights. Now obviously even if you're pure muscle and look amazing at 180 you're not going to be a flyer. But if you can do the requirements and are strong then you'd be a great base. I knew a college cheerleader who weighed 175lbs. SHe was really strong, could do the toe touches etc, still looked very pretty and was the best cheerleader her all-girl squad had becuase of all the bases she could do. So quick answer no, you being 180lbs does not make you too big to be a cheerleader, you just have to find the right squad and get in shape (if you're not already, i wasnt when I first started) and learn the bases etc..
