Father's Day is nearly here, and your old man deserves the perfect gift. Check out our list of the best gift ideas for the best dad, and let's get shopping!
1. Smart Scale
Dad bodybuilders (pun fully intended) are going to need a way to keep track of their body weight and body composition changes. Thankfully, the FitTrack Dara Smart Scale can do all that and more.
Body Fat Percentage
Bodybuilding dads probably already know all about the importance of tracking your body fat percentage -- it is often considered a key statistic in determining long-term health issues like diabetes or heart disease.
Hydration Levels
Everyone knows hydration is the key to good health, but did you know it can help your bodybuilder dad keep better track of his progress? By keeping track of his hydration levels, Dad can determine whether his weight loss or gain is due to fat loss or water retention, allowing for a more personalized routine.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
The point of bodybuilding is building muscle! Thanks to the skeletal muscle mass statistic, Dad will be able to keep track of his progress and see just how much his hard work is paying off.
Multiple Users
Offer your dad the Father's Day gift of his dream and get the whole family involved in his workout routine. This smart scale keeps it simple by allowing you to include up to 8 different users on one device.
2. Garmin Fenix 6 Watch
Very active dads will need to be able to keep an eye on their statistics while on the go. That's where the Garmin Fenix 6 Watch comes in.
Portable Health Information
Dad can keep track of his heart rate, energy, hydration, and more, so he can make sure his workouts are optimized for best results.
Workout Guidance
Does Dad want to know how many steps he's taken while out walking, or maybe he just needs workout suggestions? Maybe he needs help avoiding overheating or tracking his recovery times. Now his personal trainer is right there on his wrist.
Sleep Tracking
Work hard, rest hard. After a long day of training, Dad can keep track of his sleep times and cycles so he can perfect the art of rest.
3. Weight Lifting Shoes
Lots of people just throw on their tennis shoes and hit the gym, but weightlifting pros often prefer specific shoes made just for the occasion.
Rubber Tread
Opt for a weightlifting shoe that will give Dad stability and a strong foundation so he can lift with confidence.
Heel-To-Toe Drop
A significant heel-to-toe drop (or raised heel) allows weightlifters to drop into a lower squat and may improve overall posture when lifting weights.
Security Straps
You don't want to slip and slide around when lifting heavy objects. The straps on these shoes should help keep Dad's feet from moving around while he's working hard in the gym.
4. Weight Belt
Bodybuilding is all about keeping your body safe and healthy, so make sure Dad protects his back and increases the potency of his workout at the same time!
Back Support
Dad can keep his back healthy and safe while lifting weights due to the support of this belt.
Five Sizes Available
The belt comes in five different sizes, so there's sure to be an option for everyone.
Adjustable Buckle
A simple, one-prong buckle will allow the wearer to adjust the belt as needed for even more comfort and support.
5. Ninja Foodi Cold and Hot Blender
Whether your bodybuilder dad drinks raw eggs or protein powder shakes, odds are, he has a few diets tricks up his sleeveless tank top. This gadget will help him take control of his health in the gym and the kitchen.
12 Pre-Set Options
Healthy food options don't have to be complicated. With 12 pre-set options, Dad can choose soups, frozen drinks, smoothies, and more ... all with the touch of a button.
Hot And Cold Options
Smoothies just go down smoother when they're ice cold. But sometimes, you want a little heat to perk up the flavors in your concoction. This Ninja Foodi Blender does both.
Non-Stick, Easy Cleanup
The problem with heat is that it tends to make things sticky, which in turn makes clean-up inconvenient. Ninja uses non-stick coating and offers a heated Clean option to avoid these issues.
6. Beard Grooming Kit
After a day in the gym, Dad wants to look good for a night on the town. Help him keep himself well-groomed with a beard grooming kit from none other than Dad's favorite bearded celeb, Jack Black!
Wash
The creamy Beard Wash features aloe and panthenol to keep Dad's facial hair soft and smooth.
Condition
Beard Lube Conditioning Shave provides jojoba and eucalyptus for a refreshing and silky finishing touch.
Maintain
This beard grooming kit also includes a comb and Beard Oil containing Kalahari melon oil and vitamin E to make your daily combing sessions easier
7. Adjustable Dumbbells
Why pay for a gym membership when you can bring the gym home? Not enough space for a full home gym? No problem! Adjustable dumbbells will give weightlifting dads plenty of strength training options without taking up too much space.
Simple and Efficient
Forget switching out dumbbells every time you need to switch weights, just turn the dial and set the resistance needed to continue your strength training.
Apartment Living
Because these adjustable dumbbells can replace up to 15 full weightlifting sets, they make the perfect bodybuilder gift for dads living in apartments or small homes.

Reduced Irritation
Well-fitting socks mean less irritation and movement while working out, giving Dad healthier skin and an easier exercise experience.
Goodbye Blisters
A seamless design helps to eliminate friction, which aids in preventing painful blisters.
Ventilation
Blisters can also be caused when moisture comes in contact with the skin for an extended period of time. Ventilation panels and moisture-wicking is used to reduce these effects.
10. No, I'm Not On Steroids Tank
Another funny workout gift for Dad, the No I'm Not On Steroids tank, answers all the questions curious gym members might have but are too afraid to ask.
11. Barbell Set
There's nothing quite like the traditional barbell set for exercise-loving dads. Get Dad something to bench press with a set of barbells this Father's Day! Barbell sets can have many options, some coming with and without the bar, some allowing you to buy certain weights separately. This barbell set conveniently provides up 60 pounds with four different weights -- bar included!
This makes it the perfect gift for dads looking for a barbell starter kit.
Great to keep around the house for those impromptu workouts.
12. Oversized Water Bottle
Oversized water bottles aren't just trendy -- they're a useful way to ensure proper hydration while working out!

Holding a gallon of water, the oversized design allows for extra capacity, so bodybuilders will only need to fill their water supply once each day.
Drink Times
It's not easy drinking a gallon of water a day, especially if you aren't used to keeping up with your hydration. Convenient drink times will remind you when you need to take a few sips.
