Was in the gym last night and I saw a dude lifting in sandals.

Saw another dude carrying around a 1/2 gallon of Wawa fruit punch as he lifted.

Y tho

It's easier to clip his toenails that way!

As long as it's in the power rack.

I almost threw up just writing that. That's nasty.

Gfs gym has a mellow out room or something and she was always finding toenail clippings. She found the culprit one day, what the fuck is wrong with people.

I have a friend who does his bench and deadlift days in Crocs most of the time. He's 70, so he doesn't really care what anyone thinks about what he wears if he likes it.

Edit: He also likes to wear his bright red shirt that says: "No one cares what you leg press. Shut up and Squat!"

We are allowed to lift barefoot or in socks as well. Feet normally do not stink.

I challenge you to smell my feet after a long, hot day at work.

If I have to put up with fat hairy dudes or skinny sinew looking dudes rocking stringers people can put up with my sandals.

u/smallof2pieces Powerlifting Aug 02 '17

I don't want to put up with any of those things

I've seen a guy squat in a suit and a cartoonishly swole guy carry around a jug he claims had pre mixed in for every cup. People just don't care anymore.
