When I was in high school I was fat…but also athletic enough that I could pass for a “big guy” instead of the soggy doughnut-lover I’ve become. In those days, if I wore a tight shirt, people thought I was just one of those super strong fat guys that probably played football or something. However, …
When it comes to big guys’ fashion there is the age-old wives’ tale that we should avoid stripes at all costs. At least, horizontal stripes. If I had a nickel for every time someone told me, “Vertical stripes make you look taller, and horizontal stripes make you look wider” I’d be able to buy myself …
When I was younger and far more innocent, I had no idea that anything like a heavy-duty gaming chair existed. I sat on our old spinning computer chair with paper-thin padding in our living room until my butt went numb. It usually took about 15 minutes. My “computer time” in those days was a max …
I’m not a runner. Well, I guess I could be considered a runner now. I’m really just a fat guy who got sick of telling people how healthy & fit I used to be in high school and decided to do something about it. When I first started running, I couldn’t run. I worked my …

Whenever anyone asks me for a product recommendation, I tell them to buy a product meant specifically for big and heavy people. Why? Because they are typically overbuilt and use much higher quality materials than the average item. Heavy-duty bar stools are no different. Whether you are heavy or not, getting bar stools that support …
I never do anything small. It drives my wife nuts. If I’m dieting, you better believe I’m doing a 48-hour fast. But if I’m not dieting? You better get to Papa John’s before I do or you’re not getting anything. Moderation just doesn’t work for me. So when I decided to get back into running …
