Weigh in this morning was a pleasant surprise... and it got me (re) thinking my weight goals.
My original goal was 160, and I'm now at 162.
At some point, I decided to drop my goal to 150 because I thought it would help with speed.
I'm now down to ~15% BF based on measurements and mirror - and at this point I'm probably going to start losing muscle mass if I don't increase resistance training, up my calories, or both.
Yesterday I had a sparring session with a bunch of other black belts- and my speed and quality of movement felt great - best it's been in I am not sure how long.
So - now I need to make a decision.... do I stop at 160 and recomp, or do I drop to 150 and hope I don't lose too much strength in the process?

Finally made a decision - I'm going to go into maintenance mode @ 160, and start working on more resistance training... I think that further drop in weight won't equate to more speed at this point, so it's time to look to other things.3
