May be an odd question but -
Is there a preferred or ideal BMI for Para recruits?
It’s quite confusing, during my first AC I was around 73-78kg, nowadays faster and fitter than I was back then at 81-84kg with a BMI of 25 so technically ‘overweight’? (I know it doesn’t account for muscle mass)
Are there pros and cons to being slightly heavier? I’m not a blob right but if the ‘extra energy reserve’s going to benefit then il look at refining and maintaining, if it’s going to be a hindrance il look to strip it and go back down to fighting weight.
(definitely sounds like a bone question to me but couldn’t find any info online and was just generally curious)
