Man, fug that! I know when I'm in there doing atg front squats, they are freaking! I may only be doing 120lbs, but the fact I'm going ATG, when most people do 1/4, I know they are in disbelief because everyone has told them squats are bad for the knees and here's this bal-headed, 42 yr old going up and down like a harbor bouy.

I did have one woman ask me about the swiss-ball lateral rolls and people watch me do bulgarian split squats.

You shouldn't worry about what the curlers are thinking. Work on your squats, deadlifts and pull-ups (so few people can do even one pull-up).
