Subject: Normal weight vs Race weight So as I had a conversation with a friend and he asked me what my race weight was, so i told him 157, than he asked what was my normal weight was and I replied "158" he laughed....Saying how could you train for so long and only lose 1 pound.....so I began to wonder, I know I was only 70% good on my overall nutrtion, (going to bbqs here and there and eating pizza probably twice a month if that, I dont drink soda or alcohol).....So im wondering could that hinder your performance at all if your in shape (I am not obese or overweight) Numbers as this morning wt - 158.2 Ht- 5'8 BMI- 24 Body Fat -13.2% (this is an area im working on to get under 10%) I am looking to improve every aspect and really looking at other aspects besides my Running, biking, swimming, Which I already know where I need improvement. So I was wondering whats the weight difference between your normal weight and your race weight.....For myself I know that when I hit <155lbs, I lose stamina and injuries may occur (at least during wreslting season which is about to begin)....So im wondering if that would occcur in IM training. Is there some magical equation that equals the perfect race weight for an individal (like body fat, BMI,....etc) |
