Same transformation, five starting points

Tap a pair to see the lean gains page for that starting point.

Overweight

Roughly 28%+ body fat, little visible muscle, carrying weight around the stomach and chest.

Skinny-fat

Normal weight on the scale but soft in the middle — around 18–24% body fat with underdeveloped chest, shoulders, and arms.

Skinny

Lean and light — abs may show, but shoulders, chest, and arms are thin.

Average build

Some muscle from sport or a bit of lifting, moderate body fat, nothing that reads as 'trained' yet.

Already fit

Visibly trained: a full chest, defined arms, abs at a moderate body fat.

What changes

Slow recomp, abs all year. The preview is asked to change three things and leave everything else alone:

Muscle added while abs stay visible
Wider shoulders and back at the same waist
The 'always in shape' look

How long it takes

8–12 months. Lean gaining is a small surplus held for the best part of a year, gaining muscle slowly while staying at 10–14% body fat. It is the least dramatic month to month and the best looking at the end. The preview shows the end.

How LiftLooks renders it

You upload one mirror photo. The model keeps your face, frame, lighting, and the room you took it in, and changes body composition the way this transformation describes. The result comes back in about a minute as a before/after you can save or share. Every result is labeled as AI-generated, the token price is shown before you tap, and a failed generation is never charged.

Questions

Is lean gains realistic for me?

Lean gaining is a small surplus held for the best part of a year, gaining muscle slowly while staying at 10–14% body fat. It is the least dramatic month to month and the best looking at the end. The preview shows the end. The preview is rendered on your own frame, so what you see is what that goal would look like on your bone structure and starting point — not on someone else's.

How accurate is the AI preview?

It is a realistic estimate, not a promise. LiftLooks starts from your actual photo and keeps your face, frame, lighting, and setting, then changes body composition the way the transformation describes. Every result is labeled as AI-generated. Real outcomes depend on genetics, diet, training, and consistency.

What does it cost?

This transformation costs 50 tokens in the app. Your first look is generated free. LiftLooks Weekly is $7.99 per week for 200 tokens (enough for four standard transformations), unused tokens roll over, and one-time bundles stack on top. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
