oh, and a guy walked in the toilet area in the locker room at my gym .... barefoot.
Used the urinal, was standing barefoot in pee splatter/drips no doubt.
Odd
They make a foam block thing that self-attaches to the bar for this.
Somewhere once I saw a video where a guy makes the same thing himself, a DYI thing ....out of foam.
Can't find the FYI video though, sorry

That may be a nice bar and plates, which we could be jealous of. But the rest of the equipment seems to think it's "elite", and this guy thinks he is, for sure. Give me a nice bar, but iron plates will do, and a basic Rogue power rack on a plain plywood and mat platform.
We have the same racks at my gym, they’re actually pretty good as far as chain equipment goes.
Those rear-platform-part on those look tiny.
Fine for deadlifts though, but does any one do Olympic lifts on those? (i.e. full lifts, not just PCs)
Seems like they really skimped out on the rubberized area there.
Maybe only 4' front to back? maybe even less "effective area" the way the corners are chopped off.
My gym went with a small "half platform" thing maybe 5' long x ~8' wide.
Those just barely work for quick lifts.
Say if you have to step forward to secure a jerk or snatch real bad,
you have to step back (with the bar overhead?!?!?!) to drop it right in the rubber.
There’s one guy that dresses up in full oly gear, but I’ve only ever seen him do a few of what can only be described as deadlift to rows with 40 mins of stretching afterwards.
I think they’re primarily for deadlifting, as you say there’s no room for bailing an oly lift there.
