Gear a dad actually buys.
Tested in my house.

I'm a 6'5", 280-pound dad of three. I set up the gear, use it for months and tell you exactly who should buy it, so you don't waste money on the wrong thing.

Most gear is a good buy for somebody. Every review tells you who it's for, and if I wouldn't buy it, I'll say so.

My picks

Some of my favorites

These are a few of the things in my house that I use the most.

How it works

Here's how I review gear

01

I set it up myself

On camera, at my house or my parents' house. If the instructions stink, you'll hear about it.

02

I use it for months

Then I come back with updates at one month, six months and a year. At my size, the weak spots show up fast.

03

I tell you who it's for

Right at the top of every review. Who should buy it, who shouldn't, and what I don't love about it.

Who is Big Mike?

23 years in the ring.
14 years of marriage.
Three daughters.
Here's what I'd buy.

I'm a pro wrestler who's been stepping between the ropes since 2003, a husband to Jeanie since 2012, and a dad to three girls.

I train at 4:45 a.m. in my own home gym. Every product here gets used in my house, by me, for real. If it's not worth your money, I'll say so.
