Since there are weight classes, I would assume having a better muscle to fat ratio would be better, and not packing uneccesary fat.
In: Biology
When you lose weight, your body burns fat and reduces muscle at the same time, because it takes a lot of calories to maintain the extra muscle mass. So while dieting to lose fat is done by most people who lift weights to look good, people who care just about maximum strength don’t do that because they will lose strength in the process of dieting.
