/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I already do

>>8472673
i have the weirdest boner

>>8472673
I actually had to start lifting to fit into brand dresses. I'm really tiny and have little to no curves, so gaining some muscle mass helped out with a thicker feminine look.

>>8472673
I'm taking iron fit, lifting weights, and martial arts to bulk up a bit for cosplay and to tone my body

>>8472673
I-is she real?

>>8472673
I lift for a booty, but it helps my waist stay small enough to fit into brand so it's a win-win

>>8472777
>tone

I'm exactly the average size M measurements for most Japanese clothing, so I don't really want to change that. I only have problems with lolita being too big.

However, I've started tricking and gymnastics because I want to get some awesome shots of my upcoming Tekken cosplay. It usually takes me 6 months to complete a single cosplay due to having a 50-60 hour working week and fuckall cons around to wear it to, so I figure I can probably get some basic skills that will make for a decent photo as I'm already fairly active/fit and flexy, but just have no technical skills in those areas.

>>8472673
What is it with /fit/ invading /cgl/? This looks dumb as fuck. No one wants to be a muscle head lolita. See, I have a documentary on what happens when you do that.

Honestly why does anyone here have a shitfit if someone says 'tone' unless they are talking about 'spot toning' or some mythical result? When you lift weights you do tone your muscles and become more compact and less flabby. Muscle tone is a measurable thing.

>>8472673
my arms must be as buff as my petticoats!!!

>>8473032
>Vancouver Cat
wat

>>8473032
Now that is fuckin weird

>>8473034
Yeah it's called body fat %.

>>8473032
>o one wants to be a muscle head lolita.

Why do you have to destroy my dreams, anon

>>8473032
Wasn't this short movie made by BtssB and some other company?

I love the hell out of this short movie, it's pretty cute and it inspired me to be a bara lolita one day

>>8473032
You become happy?

>>8473029
>50-60 hours working week.
What do you do ?

>>8473199
I'm with this anon as well
>I flip if I work a 5+ hour shift
>mfw friend works 75 hours a week

>>8472673
oh god my heart

Jesus christ I'm a terrible person
>read "lifting" to mean "shoplifting"

>>8473178
No. You beat up your /fit/ boyfriend for leaving you for another musclehead.

>>8473032
Fuckoff.
>I want to be a muscle head Lolita
>military Lolita whipping the comm into shape
>itas drop and give me 50
>hnng

>>8473214
That's not what happens in the video.

>>8472673
>ex heptathlon champ
>no socks fit me
>arm cuffs are impossible

I will never be adorable with calves larger than the next fatty-chan, and triceps that look like flab when not being exercised.

Bench press... Not even once.

>>8473204
Workaholics aside some jobs are more exhausting physically and mentally than others. Stuff like retail can be very hard if the customers are assholes or it can be relatively easy just requiring you to be there for the time. Other jobs require heavy thinking or creativity and you can't keep that up 75 hours a week.

>>8473254
> you can't
>implying your limits are my limits

>>8473230
If there's any sense of serious to you, then I hope you enjoy your days looking terrible and being publicly humiliated for being some ape in poofy princess clothes.

>>8473199
I work in a hospital. Officially my roster says 8-4pm, with rostered long shift until 10pm usually once per week or no long shifts either side if you do the weekend. Unofficially, I leave at 6pm some days depending on how busy it is, and my long shifts can go until 11pm, so a 'good' week is generally never less than 50 hours.

I have, but for the sake of losing weight/getting stronger/healthier. I've been on a plateau for a while so lifting have helped (way more than cardio alone); I just wish I was more consistent (I work weird hours).

What sucks is that my arms look good, but my lolita blouse and cutsew sleeves are tight .

>>8473212
I still can't believe there was actually a subculture based around shoplifting. I mean, it makes more sense than most other ones out there, but it's just such a weird concept...maybe it's because I don't know anyone who does it once they leave high school?

Been going to the gym once a week and running twice for a few years, but thinking of stepping it up so I can enter the hilarious realm of massive-guy-as-dainty-girl cosplays. My beard game has always been weak, so I'd have to rely solely on my body, hair, and dead hopeless eyes.

Love working legs, used to ride horses, and still cycle most days; so I've got my lower half more or less how I'd want it. It's just that I need to push my chest and arms from "yeah, he works out" to "jesus christ, stop working out".

Thinking I'd do pic related with her backpack and a tiny shirt showing some swole midriff. Would look like generic anime highschooler to most, but between the colours, scarf emblem, and bag has enough for GuP fans to recognise her.

>>8474639
oh i do it, all the time. But then again I'm a verified sociopath so

>>8474639
It's because it's makes them feel ~~~~edgy~~~~

>>8473032
Fuck you. I intend on being the best swolita in existence. I will bench press Misako, Asuka, Maki, Mana-sama and Yanna-sama all at the same time.

There are always JSKs and I can get some lovely custom-made blouses to fit my rippling biceps.

>>8473230
SIR YES SIR

bump

>>8473269
>ape in princess clothes
You know nearly every model, and every sports/VS model does weights, right? That's how they look toned and not like skinny fat slobs.
>DL 45kg
>Squat 50kg
>OHP 20kg
>Bench 25kg
It's not fucking lmao3pl8 or anything, I'm not going to become a roidhead. Enjoy your wild misconceptions about fitness you fat fuck

>>8479220
The images on the right are not cute, either. I want a flat tummy, not sculpted. Those arms are still too large to comfortably fit into lolita tops. I don't disagree about lifting to lose weight, but bad choice of images.

>>8479225

>women

>>8479225
My arms are sculpted I can fit into IW and meta blouses fine. If you want a flat tummy you can lift lighter weights for high reps and look like less than the right. lifting is a great way to tone your body and lose weight in general, but i'll leave you to your shitty opinions.
>shoo shoo gains goblin

>>8479220
you seriously lift babby weights, anon. how much do you weigh?

>>8479225
i didn't realize that was considered a sculpted tummy...

are you sure those arms are too large to fit into lolita tops? i bench 52kg (45kg for reps), and i STILL don't look like that. i weigh 47kg, and you can barely tell that i lift weights if you look at my upper body.

>>8472673
I want to get into it but I haaaate gyms, I need to get over it.

Right now my workout routine consists of mostly pilates, I have one of the machines though so I am getting at least a bodyweight workout

>>8473032
what the fuck even is this i love it so so so much

>>8479225
I have a flat tummy but I want abs since I guess thats what girls like? at least according to the fap thread

Though I hate lifting..

any /fit/ lurking here? At the moment I only jog. What are good reasons to start doing strength excercises/lifting?

>>8473142
Am I stupid for not knowing what "bara lolita" is?

>>8473268
uh as someone who is working in a creative field doing about 60 hours a week on average, i'll say it's *possible* to do creative work for that much of your week but you WILL burn out, usually within 2 - 3 months. i've seen it happen to enough of my coworkers to know that's a real thing.

>>8474644
Ay you can learn to do fake beards too if you need to. I know a few drag kings who have exquisite beard-gluing skills

>>8479431
google bara. it's a genre. i don't think bara lolita is a real thing.

>>8479417
for strength, aesthetics, confidence, etc. or do you mean health benefits?

>>8473123
You can do it, anon!

>beefcakeprint

>>8479526
dropped image.

>>8479440
it should be a real thing.

btw, this OP looks oddly familiar.

>>8473032
this is the best thing I have ever seen.

>>8473034
What do you measure it in?

>work from 3pm to 11pm
>four days a week except wednesdays and weekends
>only really have time to do exercises at home or early morning at gym
>been missing gym time due to shit coming up at home

I was planning to do a superhero cosplay but I can't with my body looking skinny and lanky. I'll just have to go into an exercise routine that can work for me.

>>8479536
Is that LadyBeard?

>>8481303
This is why i go to a 24 hour gym. Good luck, anon. I know you might not be near a gym with decent hours. I know I was SOL for a while in my old town. I worked from 10 to 10:30 three days a week and 4 to 10 three days, and I could rarely get myself to the gym enough.

>>8481378
The only gym close to me isn't even open that long. Another one is like a semi-long subway ride away.

Frankly I'm thinking about just buying some weights and doing curls at home. I was hoping to get my body prepped in time for NYCC but I doubt that's gonna be happening unless I get started now and stick to it.

>>8473214
>not just beating up your /fit/ boyfriend because you can
step it up

>>8473034
Because you're using a word that makes no sense, it's either gaining muscle or losing body fat

Also yep, lifting for those Jojo's cosplays, I don't wanna be a chubby jolyene or hermes
Worried about my arms and blouses though,the cuffs can up small in loli

I just came to post this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m84FoXuBQg

>>8485275
why anon
WHY

>>8485275
That is adorable.

FYI to people that aren't too familiar with the results of lifting. Lifting usually makes you smaller (unless you're packing on the protein like a beast).

At first, if you're kinda chubby already, your muscle mass will build along with you losing body fat, so you might look chunkier at first because your muscle mass is being built under your fat, but after a while it'll all compress and keep you small.

I like lifting a whole lot better than anything else since it's fast and you don't sweat as much.
