Hailuo 2.3 animates your photo straight away: a grin, a double-biceps flex, and then the arms, shoulders and chest swell while the shirt stretches tight. The face and hair stay put, which is what makes it land.
It is a gag, not a fitness forecast. The muscle arrives cartoonishly fast and says nothing about what training would do for you.
What works best

- Waist-up, with both arms and shoulders in frame.
- A fitted t-shirt shows the stretch better than a hoodie or a jacket.
- Face the camera with arms relaxed; the flex comes from the effect.
- Use your own photo, or a friend’s with their okay.

Questions
Does the AI muscle effect work on women?
Yes. It works on any adult in a waist-up photo; the effect adds muscle to whoever is in the picture.
Will the shirt rip?
The prompt asks for the shirt to stay whole and just stretch tight. Generations vary, so if one comes out odd, run it again.
How much does it cost?
3 credits for a 6-second Hailuo 2.3 video at 720p. The example was made with VEO 3.1 Fast (12 credits), which you can choose in the template. Failed generations are refunded in credits.
Can I use a friend’s photo?
Only with their okay. It is a joke format, and the joke works better when the friend is in on it.
