First post

Hello! This is the first post on MAN UPkeep. I just want to quickly explain what we are doing here. I am what you would describe as a husky guy. Or as most people would say: THICC. I’ve got a lot of meat on my bones. Especially my legs. And that’s where the problems started.

Whenever I would go to the gym and powerlift, my legs would sweat, and rub, and chafe. It would be extremely uncomfortable. That’ when someone suggested that I start using powder. At first, I used baby powder and it seemed to work out fine. But I quickly realized that, although it solved the chafing, it didn’t solve the heat problem. In fact, it made it worse, due to not letting my legs breathe.

The answer to my prayers came in a yellow plastic container with a red top. Men’s body powder. It solved all of the problems that I had at the time: Heat, moisture, chafing, itching, etc.! for the next several years, body powder was a staple product in my house.

During that time, I began to wonder, Which brand is the best? What achieves what I need. How many other men would benefit from this? Then I thought. What about other products like foot powder, deodorant, body wash, shampoo, aftershave…? What about supplements and food?

I wished there was a hub for “thicc” men to discuss the best and highest quality products. So, I decided to make it myself. Welcome to MAN UPkeep.

The man himself would be proud.
