Muscle Suit


I'm not in bad shape especially for my age, but I was thinking when I eventually don the Lycra I want to look a bit bigger up top.

I've had an idea, I'm thinking of using an old tee shirt and gluing foam sections to it to enhance my chest area, I could even put some on the bicep area. Anyone tried anything similar? And what glue would I use to stick foam to a tee shirt?

 :cheers Colin

Re: ideas for a muscle top


Just pulled this link from a thread in the archives. Looks like it might be close to what you're trying to achieve.

I believe this is similar to what Toby McGuire wore under the suit in the Spiderman movies.

Yeah Pauly... I've thought about getting one of those myself. They're about $20 or so at Party City & usually show up around Halloween...so...now is the time to start looking for them.

There's one on Ebay now:

They're very "squishy" for lack of a better word and will compress under a spandex suit. I bought two and cut the arms off one to wear on my thighs. It took me from this:

I made one for a Venom costume and you can glue foam cutouts to a shirt but they flatten and smooth out over a spandex type material over top. So, I used an airbrush to shade in muscle tone on the costume.
