He can decide: "ideal weights" are based on old insurance company data that has little to do with real-world situations and in dealing with athletes, are meaningless. All sprinters were "undeweight", all strength athletes "overweight" with absurd results. Your friend wants to be lean and muscular and if he achieves this and likes the result, he has his perfect weight.
