Description
Last of the Date photos until mr. Oum sends me his photos from our shoot.I like what Cliff did with the Lights. I lost 36 lbs from my normal weight for this shoot, and I think this photo shows it.

Holly shit! You got everything it takes to be a rl replica of the real Eiji Date! The physique and everything! Its kinda hard to believe that someone with such an amazing body would be an Anime fan. Usually guys with such buffed bodies think of us Otakus as lame geeks. Glad there's a lot of different people who like Anime and Manga so much

One of my friends is a national thai-boxing champion of Neatherlands, and he likes manga and anime as much as I do. One of the greatest MMA fighters in the world, Josh Barnett, is a HUGE otaku. Some buff guys do pick on people the see as geeks, but that is just caused by insecurity. A real man accepts everyone as they are.

All the working out paid off!
Lookin' good. If I didn't know any better, I'd assume you actually boxed. (Like UFC XD)

I did compete in Kickboxing. And of course, I still train.

OH MY GOD. I have NEVER seen a Hajime no Ippo cosplay before, and this is just an amazing experience. GREAT work, I love how you even managed to fix a couple of hairs in your forehead just like Date has. AMAZING work, congratulations, and thank you for sharing!!

Glad you like it! I wish more people were into HnI, and cosplayed from it -then again, going around shirtless is not everyone's cup of team, plus not all cosplayers look like pro-boxers...

If you ever want to discuss anything about training, please let me know.

Well what kind of things did you do to train? If you'd rather discuss this in a note or whatever that'd be fine. But I'm just wondering, because I don't have any weights or a gym to go to so I just do things like running, push-ups, and sit-ups, what'd you do?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll send you a note tomorrow on this.

Wow. I didn't notice the weight drop so much in the front on shot, but this really highlights your dedications to losing the weight for this costume. Very impressive! I think this one is my favorite so far from this shoot.

Well, I still did not hit the featherweight limit of 126, but since my normal weight is around 170, that is a hard target for me -it is not like I normally carry that much fat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You were certainly close to the limit though and that is very impressive! Also, I can't imagine you have very much fat and if you do, where the hell are you hiding it? Heh.
