Hi every1

I'm thinking about putting on some weight over the summer since I'll have more time to hit the gym. What's an ideal weight for my body type and athletic goals? Also, what's the optimum way to train to that body weight?

Some background:
1. I'm 5 foot 10.75 inches now, 145 lbs, almost 17 yrs old
2. I don't want to get super big since I'm a standup type of guy, not a grappler. Also, I don't want to get super big since it would interfere with swimming and running.
3. I currently train by doing all weight exercises at 5 reps at 90%-1-rep-max to train muscular tension.
