There are numerous diets and routines that claim to help men lose fat and build muscle in implausible lengths of time. The truth is that it takes hard work and determination to obtain a great physique. However — for those still looking for a quick fix without the effort — Funkybod is a t-shirt padded in the right areas to instantly turn slight guys into buff men.

At first glance, the Funkybod looks like a regular shirt. Upon closer inspection, the material is lined with padding to enhance the key areas involved in muscle building — the pectorals, shoulders, biceps and triceps. Designed to be worn underneath regular clothing, the shirts are made of material that allows the skin to breathe and ensure wearers don’t get too hot. According to the company, the padding uses plate technology to mimic the actions of muscles when those of the wearer are tensed or relaxed, making them feel realistic to the touch. The shirts sell for GBP 29.99 and come in white, gray or black, as well as a sleeveless version that can be worn under t-shirts.

As much as the Funkybod is evidently a temporary solution to obtaining a good physique, the shirts could help boost the self-esteem of skinny men who lack a confidence in their own body. Currently available in the UK, could this kind of product work in your part of the world?
