3 Pet Peeves Everyone Experiences In The Weight Room

The weight room is like an arena because every time you work out (perform) it just gets better and better. BUT sometimes the little things can drive you up the wall.

Lifting weights is a fun hobby for many. Challenging yourself and building muscle is really a win-win. Seeing progress slowly happen is exciting too when you’re able to do consistent reps of your highest weight. The weight room is like an arena because every time you work out (perform) it just gets better and better. BUT sometimes the little things can drive you up the wall.

Here are three major pet peeves of most in the weight room:

1.When people think they’re TOO COOL to re-rack their weights

Nothing grinds my gears more than when people don’t put their weights away. Like excuse me, do you need a personal invitation to hang your weights back up? Because last time I checked your mother DOES NOT work here!

2. When you can’t find ONE MORE clamp

It’s like The Hunger Games; weight room style. You have your bar all set with weights and you go to find clamps and you only have one at your spot. So then you search and if you are lucky you find one more. Once you do, all is well with the world.


3. When people sit at the machines and watch sports center

Listen up pal, the game can wait. When people sit at a perfectly good machine and watch T.V it is literally the worst thing ever. Especially if it's the one machine left to do in your work out. Do us all a favor and if you really want to watch T.V go on a treadmill, or a bike, not a lifting machine.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2976
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
