Donating blood saves lives, but not everyone gets this privilege. Some people don’t have a healthy-enough blood sample, while others have weight issues that make the loss of blood a liability for the donor. You might wonder (as I did) where obese people fall on this spectrum. You can donate blood if you are obese …
Beards have been on-trend ever since superheroes like Aquaman and mythical heroes like King Leonidas started sporting them on-screen. But fat people have been growing beards long before Zack Snyder made beards sexy. In fact, it’s hard to go anywhere these days without seeing a fat guy sporting a beard. Why is it that every …
Post SummaryIn general, people above 250 lbs would benefit from buying a high-weight-capacity sofa. The best options to support heavy people will have a heavy-duty subframe made of metal or wood, short legs, and sturdy upholstery that is attached with rivets. The best example of these attributes is the Modway Engage (below) with a 1700lb …
When my neighbor first got a backyard pool I remember sitting in a lawn chair on my deck and staring wistfully over at him. He wasn’t much to look at but he sure seemed to have the right idea for cooling off on our 100+ degree days. Fast forward two years and my wife and …
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 …

The cracks catch your wheels and just about tip you over every time you move around. The problem is, that vinyl chair …
Riding motorcycles has always been in my blood. I just didn’t know it until recently. When I was a younger and much lighter guy I saved up my pennies for a summer and spent all $800 of my dollars on a well-used Suzuki RM125. It was fast (for its size) cheap (for a dirtbike) and …
I never wanted to be the “guy in flip-flops.” Maybe it’s just where I live but dudes who wear flip flops around town are considered weirdos (probably because we usually have a couple of feet of snow). Whatever the reason, this has left me unprepared every time I take a trip to the beach or …
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 …
When I was a young guy I was looking for the easiest way to pack on some muscle and lose fat. I found an old rowing machine in my basement and, once I figured out that it wasn’t a weird old bench press machine, hopped on to get a workout. It seemed way too easy …
