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.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
