Did Gai take off his weights when he went 8 gates?

It doesn't matter how tired you were before you open up all 8 Gates. After you open them you're at max power

Actually it does as shown when Gai opened the 7th Gate used Hiruodora after using the 6th before that and was still able to fight afterwards. Meanwhile as soon as he used it against Madara, he pretty much went down.

Dude even if Gai didn't take the weights, when he went 8 gates they were like feathers to him because Gai is Might ! haha see what I did there ?

You making no sense, 8th gate doesn't heal you or take away all your pain magically, it simply gives boost your power

I don't remember Gai ever wearing weights. Those weights were meant for Lee's speed training. If Gai wore weights it would've been in his youth a looong time ago.

It actually does heal, hence the gate of rest

As has been stated, it's never been certified that Gai even wears weights. I would imagine if he did, he'd strip them off first thing.
