zupsgirl_1Yuuri must have died and his soul has ascended. He somehow has done something right and pleased the gods. It’s the only possible explanation for the blessing which has been bestowed in front of him at one o’clock in the morning. Well, it is possible that he’s dreaming, but Yuuri can’t believe that even in his wildest fantasies he could ever have imagined this image.
Apparently this week on ‘Victor’s Values’ — Yuuri finally found out the other night that Victor’s infomercial has an official name and time slot — it’s ‘Workout Week’, meaning that all the products featured are exercise related.
Tonight’s product is something called the Wobble WeightTM, and holy shit does this thing look… obscene. There’s honestly no other way to put it. The thing looks like a dumbbell, but instead of using it like you would normal free weights, you’re supposed to grasp and hold it vertically in front of your chest with two hands, arms bent, and then shake it up and down, supposedly working out your biceps and triceps. Yuuri really is doubtful on how effective this device actually is, especially since being a competitive athlete he does know at least a thing or two about strength training.
Victor is currently demonstrating the product while wearing tight leggings and a loose-fitting tank top. His beautifully sculpted arms are on display as he holds the weight up, shaking it at a rapid pace. A slight sheen of sweat is glistening off Victor’s forehead, and Yuuri wishes he could just reach through his television and help wipe it off for him — he’s got enough Wonder ShammysTM to get the job done.
“... It’s just so simple! Wobble your way to wonderfully sculpted arms. Wow, I can really feel the burn folks - but you’ll just have to try it out for yourself to believe it. Tonight’s special price, only available while supplies last, is just $35.99. Hurry up and get your orders in because I assure you these wobbles won’t wait! Wow!”
Yuuri keeps staring at the screen, still not quite believing what he’s watching. The motion used to move the weight reminds him a bit too much of another particular activity — one Yuuri is very familiar with, even more so since discovering Victor’s show. In fact, Yuuri now has a lot more mental material for tonight’s… uh, workout session.
After Victor’s very thorough demonstration, Yuuri finally tears his eyes away from the screen and turns back to his laptop. Opening his bookmark for the website to place an order, he shrugs and decides why the hell not? Despite his doubts on the validity of the product claims, he figures he can try and see for himself how it works. At the very least it might improve his wrist strength enough so it can match his… ahem, stamina.
