I’m trying to build my jump height and have been told repeatedly to stay the same weight and just build strength, even though I could comfortably lose a stone and still be a healthy weight. I recently heard of the square cube law and wondered how this relates to strength training.
Why do people want to gain weight to get stronger when the square cube law seems to indicate being smaller gives you more strength potential pound for pound?

Your looking at general sports advice. For things like pole vaulting, jumping, your right. For things like wrestling and football, you want to build up weight and muscle
