<p>Are you crazy!!! Haha, I am 5’7" and I weigh 135 now, and I wrestled 119 this season… Some people have natural low body fat contents because of an overactive metabolism and high level of athletic activity other than “lifting”. I run XC and track as well as wrestle and it’s tough holding weight on while being active like that… I don’t agree with the steroids issue, but if he wasnt good on weight DodMERB probably would have flagged him for it, I do believe… Based on what current and past cadets have shared, you’re gonna gain the weight at the Academy, and you really need to be built for endurance, I used to worry about myself being too “small” and too “lightweight”, but I have decided that I feel good and perfrom well with a lean and light build, thus when I lift weights, I lift less weight more reps most of the time to build muscle endurance… ;)</p>
<p>To go with the above post, in PA and most all over the country now, we have to take a hydration and body fat test to qualify a minimum healthy weight… Ha its part of the sport and we make that choice when we join the team…</p>
<p>Just a thought and a bit of what I am thinking, any thoughts from others? :rolleyes:</p>
