Weight

[lawsuitduck]

Hello! I was a bit confused on the body fat requirements. I’m currently 5’7 and weigh 137 pounds (134 before I eat food) pounds, but I think my body fat would be above the 18 percent threshold for USAFA (hopefully as a member of the class of 2029). I haven’t used my core as much during workouts). Would this be an issue? I have been trying to lose weight but am a bit worried since the minimal weight for my height is 121 (male).

I would not be concerned. 5'7" and 137# is very lean.

That's right in the middle of "healthy weight" zone. As long as you are fit, that's great.
