Lifefuel / Motivation Should I join the track team again this year?

[HerculesJr.]

I'm in like Junior year (i think that's what its called in america) and for a while I've been trying to balance gaining mass (I am 165 lbs atm) whilst also having athleticism. But I always either end up not eating enough and losing body mass ever so slightly, or only eating enough to the point where I plateau again.
And I was wondering if I should invest in going on the track team again this year (It's worth noting that last year I got fuckin Smoked in the 800m, but I made good friends and saw a lot of track baddies)
Especially with the fact that I'm also doing martial arts now, which has actually been increasing my endurance/athletics.


So I guess TL;DR the real question I'm trying to ask is;
Should I try again for the track and field team this year, knowing that I am better and more prepared this time around, but also having to increase my caloric intake by a lot because of it and Gymmaxxing?

Or, should I instead not bother and focus on perhaps going into wrestling/grappling along with the martial art I'm already doing (kickboxing)

Go for track if you actually enjoy it

Go for track if you actually enjoy it

Yea I feel like it has a lot of benefits for me outside of obvious mental and physical toughness

Did you also have practice early in the morning? Last year we had to pull up to the school around 6:30 am or something for tha practices even tho it started at 8:00 am

When it comes to kb I only have the practices at like 8:00 at night. i'll have to check the actual track schedule before I can make a REAL decision.
