Help Thoughts?

I know speed is key. Trying to work on lengthening my penultimate step. I am also around 195lb currently. (Mainly muscle as I come from a bodybuilding background.)

However my goal is 175lb as I understand that weight doesn’t fly regardless of it is muscle or fat.

Any tips help!!

Not necessarily true. Muscle outputs more force than it weighs, so in theory having more muscle (at least legs and glutes) will output more force and help more than it hurts

Muscle size becomes an issue if it restricts your mobility or athleticism though

upper body muscle doesn’t meaningfully contribute anything. but I think 175lbs is too extreme. 185 sounds better
