I used to do my lifts at FF barefoot. Stroll into the weights area with thongs. Would get the strangest looks but became the norm.
So liberating!
Lolz... Suprised you got away with it...
I used to wait till I was in the squat rack before taking my shoes off...
Damn commercial gyms...

Crazy man was back in the gym this morning.
Running on the treadmill. Bum bag slung around his waist, hot pink singlet, Warwick Capper short shorts, John McEnroe bright yellow headband, terry towling wrist bands and green leg warmers. ipod in, eyes closed, shaking his head from side to side and running for his life.
I was in the middle of my barbell seated leg raises and I burst out laughing and couldn't stop. Matt the owner burst out laughing, to the point he had to crouch behind the counter to hide himself shamefully until the moment subsided.
I finished my 5th set, wiped the tears from my eyes and started to gather my things to leave.
Crazy guy with headband suddenly started singing on the top of his voice whilst still running "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" whilst extracting a mentos from his bum bag and popping it into his mouth.
I commend him, he didn't miss a beat, still running his heart out.
I could barely breathe or see...as the tears clouded my vision....
The End.
Great start to my morning and it's the gift that keeps on giving, I have burst into spontaneous laughter at least a handful of times today, just remembering the experinece
OMG that is halarious I have a similar guy at my gym except he wears fluro tights, a bum bag, and a swimming cap, he was next to me on the treddy I had to keep looking forward in order not to laugh
your guy sounds like a Richard Simmons fan (who I do secretly love for his theatrics)
Fuck I just exploded and I couldn't stop. I went from the strangulated guffaw into the silent mutley laugh with tears streaming down my face and every time I looked at him again, it would just spontaneously bubble out of me - gave my core an excellent workout trying to stop though! lolol
Yesterday my mate and I were at the gym and I ended up spotting a senior citizen lol, but he was squatting 250kghe only did 3x3 reps but still after talking to him I found out he was 60 my mate has the pics on FB I'll see if I can upload them, never to old I suppose lol

even on seated press it's easy to clean the bells to your shoulders and then sit down

This, is awesome Woodsy!
Yeah puts in perspective lol, I can only do 120kg squats and it's a struggle lol. Dedication is key he said, pretty inspirational coming from someone his age
If you have FB my mates name is Jesse fogarty it's about half way his pageAre you sure?
Even if he did 250x1 that would make him one of the strongest 50+ year olds in Australia...
Capo current record for 60 year old equipped, which I'm guessing this guy isn't, is 255kg. Raw is 200kg.
Powerlifting Australia raw record is 185kg raw. Equipped is 225kg.
It's a little hard to believe bud...
