what about tracking progress though? I'm not gonna question you guys since i have never seriously dieted down, but i think i would rather rely on something objective like a bodyfat measurement, and going by the mirror as confirmation. Ofcourse the measurement is off, but it should be pretty consistent no?
Yes bf% measurements, and the scale are excellent indications for tracking progress, like I said the last few weeks I stopped taking any bf measurements, but I was doing it earlier in my prep to monitor progress as you stated. I weighed myself everyday, but the last few weeks was mainly for fun.
But really when you get to a point where you are like 4-3 weeks out, changes in the mirror are more important than changes on the scale. I've seen too many people get too caught up with numbers. You gotta remember that when you get on stage you don't step on a scale.
I've seen guys weigh less than all their fellow competitors on stage, but blow them all away just by the way they look, they will will weigh so much less but look ten times bigger, its all an illusion!
