Awesome post.

One thing that’s helped me in the past to is taking some time away from the scale number in a recomposition phase. This sounds counter intuitive but like you said timing matters when you’re attempting to balance both. A lot of times I’ll use daily/weekly pictures as my main progress tracker instead of trying to catch the scale on the right day. Great tip about creatine too!

appreciate this perspective — yeah, i’m also one of those guys who’s gravitated away from the scale these days. I’m tending to go more off of how I feel than how I look, but everyone’s different!
