Got bf checked and weighed in 4 pounds heavier from last week. Still did cardio. The shit to it was when it broke down my gains they weren't so good. 1 lb water. 1 lb muscle. And 2 lbs fat!! So from 8% to 9%. Not a good week of gains. Is it possible to stay that low of fat and grow. Im guessing u are going to say yes.
I'm going to drop cardio this week and drop calories from 5000 to 4500 on training day. (Body weight of 209. ) rest days I'll go down to 3300. Check it next week and hope for a better result

If you're using some form of BIA (skin electrodes) to estimate body composition (I presume from the estimate of water gains), then I'd not overthink this. Water can vary dramatically from day to day and the precision of those BIA measurements, not to mention validity, can be a bit iffy. (Those companies don't often make their foundational science public knowledge.)
