He can decide: The range that my colleague offered is reasonable, but health doesn't come off a table of numbers. Whatever looks and feels right to him while he is able to compete successfully in his favorite sport is his best weight. Elite sprinters are 'underweight' while solid-muscle, zero-body-fat linebackers and John Cena are 'obese'.
