Hey!
I interrupt you're regularly scheduled post to talk about fitness! As most of you know, being fit is part of my cosplay. I use my body to give my costume a look that is typically associated with super hero. But what I think a lot of people don't know is how I challenge myself and my body depending on the costume.
For example, when I was first dressing up as Nightwing, I spent a lot of time and energy gaining weight and training my legs. When I was punk robin, I tried to gain arm mass because those where want would be visible. When I wear spandex I typically try and gain 10lbs so that I fill the suit out better and give the illusion of being broad and buff. When I am doing a model shoot, I typical focus on losing weight and getting defined which, to be honest isn't always in super healthy ways.
The reason I wanted to post this was because I've been getting a lot of question about the weird foods that I have been posting on IG and why I am eating them. Well, the answer is that Shaun and I just shot superboy which I gained 8lbs to shoot and less than two weeks later we had a boudoir shoot. That meant I not only had to lose the 8lbs I gained, but also the extra 5-7 I try and lose for a typical shoot.
It was a whirlwind but I think it all worked out! Anyway I'm rambling. I just want to answer those questions and let you in on that part of my life!
