If you're feeling good where you're at, stay there!

Your height is a big advantage (5''7 126 lbs!!)

Edit : You could try having a BMI in the norms, I think 19.7 is slighlty below average?

wingspan about 178~180cm.. <-- forgot to mention. quite long.
and ur right, bmi is in norms but below average.

hmm.. i do feel very powerful for my weight i guess. just not sure if i could optimize it by gaining a bit more weight.. (chicken legs and core aren't big/strong)

i really dont understand the science in muscles and would love it if someone could explain it to me.

i have skinny chicken legs, but have explosiveness/hops better than ppl lighter than me, heavier than me (that i know personally). so my question is: should i gain more core/leg muscles? will it make my power more efficient or will the the disadvantage be greater?
