Okay, I was torn as to whether to put this in The Edge or here, as I had leading ladies singles skaters in mind when wondering about this. I looked around on the ISU site to find eligible skaters' weights (to determine the proportion to their height), but they only list the height. I'm 5'4" (like Sarah Hughes, 2 inches taller than MK & SC, and 1 inch taller than SA) and I was wondering what the "perfect weight" for jumping would be; my first thought was, keep it light, but then I read some posts about the best jumpers out there right now having "bulked up" a bit, especially in the posterior area for obvious reasons, namely spring in jumps b/c of leg strength.
Your posts would be really helpful, especially if you refer to what has worked for you in your personal experience as jumpers--is your weight a hindrance, a boon, are you looking to bulk up or lose weight because of problems with your jumps?
Thanks,
Sarah
