Goal Completion: 8% body fat (11/28/12)
Well my fellow Badass Gentlemen, today was the day that I achieved the first goal - 8% body fat. The hydrostatic test, done by my friend Aeron Dietz from FitnessWave, put me at 7.6%. Boom shakalaka!

Getting dunked and finding some surprising results...
As you may know, the very first step I laid out for myself to become badass was to get to 8% body fat. For a 33 year old, that's a respectable number. Heck, it's respectable at almost any age.
Heretofore, I had been using bioelectric impedance devices, either a handheld Omron or more recently, my nifty Withings scale which automatically sends the data via wifi to my phone. The pro of this method of body fat testing is that it's easy and cheap. The con is that accuracy is suspect, and the test is highly sensitive to differing levels of hydration. However, by always measuring at the same time every morning, in the exact same way, I was pretty sure that the data I accumulated gave a relatively accurate trend line.
