Bigorexia

Wow this is retarded, they make this guy sound like he has a disease.
It's called having the drive and dedication to drive yourself to be better.
I understand it can be taken to an unhealthy extreme, but they make it sound like any type of dedication to the bodybuilding lifestyle is an affliction...

Obsession is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

I actually believe there is a condition. It definitely isn't most bodybuilders or anything but there are some people so obsessed with thinking that they are so small that they do have a psychological problem. Interesting video.

haha ive had this condition for the last oh i dont know 12-15 yrs

Im not denying that people can have a serious psycological condition. Its just in the way they present the video. "I got up in the morning and the first thing that came to mind was i need a proper breakfast, this is only the begining of each obsessive day, food is fuel followed by exersize." Jee.. that sounds very obsessive and unhealthy.... give me a break, it sounds like the average bodybuilders day.

That guys fine, he wants to be the best, thats something we should all strive for!

Im sure there is a real condition but he didnt sound like he had it. If he was in tears and refused to go outside coz he was too skinny and didnt want anyone to look at him then maybe id believe he had a problem... but it needs to manifest itself in some way other than training hard and eating right before I take it seriously

i think they blow it out of proportion, but i'm sure there are plenty of people who have it and most of us here are probably borderline.
i'm sure that a real bigorexic would probably be so obsessive that he or she would hurt themselves, by doing stuff like abusing (not just using) AAS, or something to that extent.

I remember reading an article a few years ago about bigorexia, where a guy refused to have sex with his wife because it was energy wasted he could spend body building.

THEN it is a problem :P

Wow, that is a problem. That is probably the worst condition ever. I would call it nosextootiredphobia. I think my last girlfriend had that.

Lol, everything he says is just dedication.
