<p>^^^</p>
<p>I probably spend 8-10 hours a week at the gym and its something that i really like to do. </p>
<p>Should i list it?</p>
<p>Haha I’m wondering the same thing. Ever since I started lifting for football I’ve enjoyed doing it on a regular basis. I’m just wondering if it’ll look strange to list it in my ECs.</p>
<p>It’s how you spend your time. SOme people volunteer, some watch cartoons, some work, some play sports. Weightlifting is a sport, and other sports are good to mention.</p>
<p>I am putting it on mine. I think colleges should be able to realize that it shows several positive qualities - responsibility (looking after your body), determination, commitment, challenging yourself, etc. I’ve only been lifting for a year or so, but I think it’s worth mentioning.</p>
<p>Would it be a sport or “Athletics: Club” if I just do it, not with a team or anything?</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses</p>
<p>Should i list my squat/bench/deadlift too 
jk</p>
<p>I’m going to ask my counselor before I put this on my app, but I think CC > counselor anyways :p</p>
<p>If your lifts are high enough, list em so they know what will happen if they deny you :P</p>
<p>bump. I would like some more thoughts on this</p>
<p>this is ridiculous. I think all these posters are being sarcastic.</p>
<p>If your weightlift competitively, and ideally if you’ve placed from time to time then it’s a significant EC. List it. Consider it a sport.</p>
<p>Otherwise don’t list it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s more to ECs than model UN and debate club.</p>
<p>I say list it - it’s what you do!</p>
<p>It’s how you are spending your time, so you should list it.
The caution I would have is how many hours you are listing for participation…are you really lifting weights for an hour and a half every single day?</p>
