OK, my first real massage.
No. It was a tad painful, 'specially in my shoulders & forearms, where I've been having issues. Actually it was most painful near the end when he was doing the back of my neck, up into my head.
Overall it was relaxing. I'm tired now, and have some lingering pain, but not bad. He kept the conversation flowing and the hour just flew by.
My Omron scale with b.f tester said 239 lbs with a b.f %age of 34.5.
His wife did my B.F. measurements earlier in the day. She's an RMT too.
240.5 lbs
Pinches:
Chest-23, Tri-13, Back-30, Hip-15, Stomach-17, Thigh-11.
B.F. 16.6%, so 200 lbs LBM & 40 lbs faaaaat.
OK I understand all this is subcu. Unfortunately this type of testing can't account for a typical middle age male's intrabdominal fat. So, on my own I switched 15lbs to the fat tally, to come up with a b.f. of around 23%. This sounds more right than 16.6%.

Waist - 37.5", Navel - 40"
