THE COMPANION BALANCE PROGRESSION : Page 82
One of the greatest benefits from this group of stunts is learning how to lift correctly and how to apply the simple laws of leverage. Most performers will have to learn how to get under a weight with the back straight and the head up, and how to lift with the more powerful leg muscles instead of with the muscles of the back.
Rhythmical training is another result of companion tumbling. The top and bottom men must learn to work together with carefully balanced rhythm and timing, for the slightest mistake on the part of either will result in a poorly executed stunt.
