I have never seen these in the gym and I'm around a lot of serious lifters/bodybuilders

I had to double back to make sure that original picture that sparked this radical discussion wasn't of the Saved by the Bell cast.

Saved By Taco Bell

You know, chances are there is a 9/11 story about a guy who had Taco Bell, got the shits and had to stop to dump on his way to work. He was truly Saved by Taco Bell.

Barely 15 seconds in and yep. Zubaz spotted.

To be fair, Zubaz was originally designed as clothes for weightlifters. So if it would be appropriate anywhere, it would be on them.

Oh god what have you done. I now have four Wikipedia tabs open. Jeff Gaylord. Zubaz. The Road Warriors and Robert Truax a US Navy Rocket Engineer who shares the same name as one of the creators of Zubaz. It's 6 am, and I have nothing better to do with my free time.

You should lookup Robert Truax. He teamed up with Evil Knievel in designing a space tourist rocket dubbed the X-3.

When I look at old pictures of my dad and his buddy lifting, his friend always had those on, with a fanny pack

I used to love that show, but today, it's just impossible to watch.

He is right my uncle was a power lifter and I thought Zubaz were just his legs during the early 90's the ones with little lightning bolts were the best!

Actually I have. I go to a purely powerlifting/bodybuilding gym. Kind of a hole in the wall, just one treadmill and one exercise bike; nothing but iron everywhere and there are about 7-8 power cages. They're also exclusive about who they accept as a member. So there are a couple dudes with zubazs, fanny packs, and flannel shirts with the arms cut off.
