Deadlift PR while the scale is being dramatic

Eleven months in, lifting four days a week, 180g protein, 7.5 hours sleep. My scale has been parked between 213 and 216 since early March, which used to scramble my mood.

Last night I pulled 315x3, and my log shows rep PRs on rows and dips at the same bodyweight. Sleep and protein are locked in, no fancy add-ons.

I'm not saying the scale doesn't matter, just that it's the noisiest metric I own. For people chasing recomp: does your training log get more say than the weekly average?
