Ya, thats the main issue.
If I take a program i was doing the other year, I would do a large deadlift session every second week. On my saturday weighin, every second week I would go up in weight and every middle one I would go down.
When I weigh daily, I see why. After a good deadlift session, I hold a ton of water.
Personally, I just weigh nearly every day, and track my weight with an average of the last 7days (trend line on Excel). Smooths out the day to day garbage, to let me know the trends.
Similar concept to a BIA recommendation from Jason Norcross (? memory is fading) at tmag years ago.
