My First Hydrostatic Weighing Experience

This weekend, I got my body fat percentage tested. To be real, I’m more of an “ignorance is bliss” type of person when it comes to weight/body fat/etc. I think these numbers can be valuable if you’re looking to reach a specific goal, but since I’m not currently going after a specific weight or body…
