      I've been doing that for over 20 years and still am not seeing the definition.

          Try fewer sets with more reps.
          There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

              I think the original is the funniest (although unintentionally). This one is pretty good too though:

                This has worked for me, but of course I always max out with a really heavy weight....

                  After reading the responses to this thread --and I blame Aristides--I am a bit concerned. We caught the shakeweight for men commercial last night during Monday night football. Both of my boys (ages 9 and 11) were laughing hysterically along with the rest of us. I assumed they were laughing for the same reason I was laughing -- because it looked ridiculous. Now I am wondering if they were laughing for a different reason.

                      After watching the Southpark episode on the Shakeweight, I gave one to my wife for Christmas.

                      We were at the in-laws' for the holiday, and my Mother-in-Law couldn't get enough of it. Sadly, she didn't get the joke but I'll be laughing at her expense forever.

                      I especially love how the larger size comes in dark gray/black. I only bought the smaller white one for my wife.

                      (she returned it)

                      BTW, my brother-in-law is a PT and says they're really good for rotator-cuff therapy.

                        I'm slated for PT, but not for a rotator-cuff problem. I hope my type of therapy doesn't need the use of a shakeweight.

                          I am trying to rehab a rotator cuff. Maybe I should get one

                            Saturday night we hosted a large dinner party for my wife's cycling buddies and their husbands, during which we acknowledged the birthday of one of the women. Our very cool and street-wise bishop and his wife presented the birthday girl with a Shakeweight as a gag gift. As the recipient was shaking the thing with considerable gusto, the bish nodded at me. By the time her husband tried his hand (!) at it, I pretty much lost it.

                              I bought one over Christmas for the next white elephant gift I need to give.
