Daily weigh-ins during recomp: scale boring, gym log isn't

Tuesday at 1:55 PM 394 views 1 post

I weigh every morning after the bathroom and before coffee, same scale, same spot. I lift four days a week, upper/lower, protein around 165g, sleep usually 7.5 hours. Last three weeks my scale has been boring: 184.2, 184.8, 184.4. But my top set on incline press went from 70s to 80s for 6 reps, and my waist tape at the navel is down about half an inch. I’m not chasing a shortcut or a whoosh; I’m just trying to read the recomp correctly. Still, a flat morning number can set my mood before I even get to the gym. For folks who weigh every day and train: what do you track besides the scale so a quiet week doesn’t mess with your head?
