What would be my ideal weight?

[bob2007]

My intentions: to play varsity soccer at U of T.

I'll be a freshman this fall and my friend who's a graduate thinks I could make it. He gave me the advice of bulking up / stronger. His opinion is that U of T wants taller players and he told me his friend who's similar to me in skill didn't make the final cut because he was small. He said he was my height and weighed 150 lbs.

Me: 130 lbs , 5'7

Now, I'm not sure what he says is true. Strength would definetly improve me slightly, but if I weighed more, wouldn't I become slower? Speed is something I am not willing to give up.

What is my ideal weight?

there is reallyno way to tell what an ideal body weight is

Appearances can be decieving

unless you put on a ton of muscle it should not slow you down

as a soccer player you prolly have a real strong lower body and a below average sized upper body

look at Diesel's post on bulking

ya thats true. My legs and calves have a lotta muscle but my upper body.... lets just say one of my girl friends have bigger biceps.
