199.2 lbs & 17.6% Body Fat

Look a little leaner even though weight isn't moving down, so I did a BF reading today and was happy to see the lowest BF I've registered so far

Got 3rd stripe on my blue

That's about it, just thought I'd log the date for my records.

198.8 - going to 2500 cal diet

Everything is going great, weight has been down in the 199 range, so I'm happy it didn't bounce back up after I was sick.  Now I'm increasing my calorie intake to around 2400 to 2500 and increasing the intensity of lifting.  Did my first fairly heavy day today, getting up to 225 on deadlift.  Nowhere near my max of 295, but I was doing higher volume (20 reps on warm up weights, then 12 reps up to 205, then 2 reps of 225).  My right knee felt like it might not like going heavy, and I've strained that knee on deadlifts before.  Something about my lack of hip or hamstring/calf mobility causes a torque in my knee even on lifts where I'm not aware of any torque.

Regardless, I was happy with today's lifting, want to slowly build back up and set a new PR for all my main lifts, then maybe back off again and cut (if I've put on weight during the strength focus).
