What are you thoughts on wearing compression clothing (e.g., shorts, undershirts, etc.) to enhance male body shape.

Men don't wear girdles.

Hell, WOMEN don't wear 'em anymore.

WTF?

If you haven't lost enough weight yet to not need them, you haven't been at it long enough to "make it".

Lose more weight, lift more.

It's called shapewear and you should try being less fat instead.

does that really do anything? iv never been overweight in my entire life, so i have no idea. if it helps though, even just peripherally with your confidence, go for it. who cares

I can see the allure but it's kind of insecure and not ideal. Besides you can do this with regular clothes.

For example, my a-frame undershirt, a tucked in dress shirt, and a button up vest gives me a very aerodynamic look (v shape) which is akin to compression.

The compression is pushing your fat in and it looks like muscle right? You should just work out more.

Dress nicely to look nice.

You can't fake it with the body or health. Don't waste your time trying. Just put in the work.

Looks. Status. Game.

2/3 will get you want until you get all three.

Stop looking for shortcuts.

Very bad. There is a reason why corsets and tensors and anything of the sort is VERY bad to wear, and should only be worn under direct instructions from a doctor. You know, for when you have injuries. They deteriorate the strength and durability and resilience of the part you are covering. A corset literally destroys the spine because it removes that small amount of natural tension a spine utilizes ever since evolution made us stand upright. A tensor literally destroys the strength and size of muscles and tendons of the body part you are wrapping.

The end result? When you remove the compression wrapping, you are weaker, in more pain, and now dependent on that external support.
