A member asked:
I am a boxer and weigh 75kg and im just 5 ft 7 is this a good weoght for me, is it possible to go down to the 71 kg weight class?

Yes: The bmi for your present ht/wt is 25.8. This puts you in the overweight class (25-30). You can easily go down to 71 kg (156#) which makes your bmi 24.4, in the normal range.

You must decide: I'm a ringside physician myself and would urge you to trust your body's own wisdom in making a decision with your coach about weight class. The best gauge is by the amount of bodyfat on your chest and abdomen. If there is only as much as on the back of your hand, don't try to drop weight; it would endanger you. If you have more, then try to lose this wtihout losing muscle and go down a class.
