    only a tiny proportion of the azn population are. The rest is divided in math-azns and restaurant-azns.

    "Super Saiyans" don't exist in the real world, and if you want to be a bodybuilder, then you're gonna have to build your body up to lift hundreds (or even thousands) of pounds, and in that case, I don't think the Shake Weight would do you any good, since the principle behind it is to get you lean and toned.
    Is that your final answer?

    If your goal is general fitness or muscle strength, sure. However, to increase muscle endurance, the goal is to do lower amounts of weights with more reps and more sets.

    I'm pretty sure stronger muscles can go longer on the lighter weights.

    but not as long as when you'd have specifically trained on it

    IIRC, muscles trained specifically for endurance have bigger energy reserves inside them than if you just go for maximum power. Of course, a blend of both is what I would think to be optimal.

    An example is those who go for those so called push up challenges, and in the end are able to do somewhere in the range of 100-200 pushups in a row, even though they don't look like super buff body builders.

    See this is a contention I can discuss with gusto.

    I (sadly) agree with NCG because I think that you can do more reps with a lower weight, if you can do x reps of a higher weight. However if you deliberately train to be an endurance athlete, you will almost always outlast an athlete who hasn't trained for it.

    An example: a long distance marathon runner versus a sprinter or anybody who just runs for fun on a treadmill.

    When you do more reps with lower resistance, it's mainly for toning and cardio.
    Is that your final answer?

    What does toning even mean? Are you trying to tell me that exercise causes Tonus? Because that's not guaranteed.

    in before
    >tone

    Anyway, i think what most people mean when htey say tone is "lose body fat". It is a pretty dumb and misused term anyway.

    Girls says "tone" because if they say "gain muscle" they, and their friends, believe that they'll become a she-hulk overnight.

    There are plenty of better ways to lose body fat than using the shake weight. Get your ass outside and run around the block, for example.
