On paper, having a swimming pool in your yard sounds amazing. Cool off anytime? Sign me up! Wear a swimsuit without feeling self-conscious? All-day long! Not having a wide heavy-duty pool ladder that will support my weight? Ehhhh…. not so much. Not being able to get into (or out of) my own swimming pool does …
I’ve always been a big guy. In fact, I remember breaking my first bike when I was only 11 years old. Admittedly, I had just jumped it off a giant wooden ramp my buddy Drew and I had built (and I broke my collar bone at the same time) but it was still an omen …
Inversion tables are the latest trend in homeopathic treatments but, unlike other trends (sugar mountain diet anyone?) there is a slew of scientific evidence that supports inversion table use. This is especially true for heavy people who are particularly prone to many of the issues helped by an inversion table such as varicose veins, joint …
Finding clothing as a plus-size girl or big guy used to be the biggest challenge in the world. Ten years ago if I wanted to find t-shirts that fit at my local mall my only store option was “Big Dogs” a big and tall store with Mastiffs and St. Bernards on all of their clothing. …
When my wife and I bought our first mattress, we headed to the mall, walked into RC Willey, laid on a couple of mattresses, and plunked down $1,000 for one that felt good. We didn’t really know better at the time. The mattress we bought wasn’t suitable for big people. Shocker. I have a habit …
If being known as “Michelin Man” isn’t enough to make you stop wearing your down puffer jacket, I don’t know what would be. It was enough for me. As a big guy, I’ve always had to be concerned about how I dress. An outfit that is fine on a skinny dude with small feet makes …
When it comes to warmth to weight ratio there isn’t much that can beat a down jacket. And since I have enough extra weight to carry around, I could really stand to cut weight when I can. The problem is, most down jackets leave the last 3 inches of my wrist freezing, not to mention …
Big guys aren’t meant to fly. At least I assumed that was the reason that my dad and uncles never used tree stands. I spent hours upon hours in my younger days sitting in a blind and hoping something walked by. Since the trees on our property limited our visibility to less than 50 yards, …
Post SummaryFor most fat guys, a belly band is the most comfortable method of concealed carry. Most other holsters and carry methods are uncomfortable and/or make it difficult to draw quickly. I still vividly remember one of the first guys I saw carrying. I was visiting my dad at a warehouse that he managed and …
SummaryThe feeling of “roominess” in an SUV is a combination of legroom and headroom. The best SUV for big guys is the Chevy Tahoe which is significantly more roomy than other options in the class including the Lincoln Navigator and the Nissan Pathfinder SL. When I was 14 years old, I was sitting in my …
