Me too. Never big enough, lean enough. Always striving for a perfect physique. Knowing well that a perfect physique doen't exist, it remains my goal/obsession.

when you're done working out you wish you looked pumped like that all the time. then you keep saying 1o more lbs. 10 more lbs. next thing you're 240 and still not big enough.

next thing you're 240.........

I hadnt seen it, so thanks for posting that. I think the way this guy thinks it the way all bodybuilders think. I know I do, and most of the guys I know do as well....
-
Interesting link, thanks. Like the above poster said, I can imagine this is something that affects most of the BBing community, at least those who take it seriously...
-
I can't see it >:(
for some reason Flash player doesn't work un my cpu since a couple of month

I don’t think it should be considered as an disorder. I don't see any wrong with a driven or determined individual who continuously want to improve his/her own physique. They deliberately use that guy for the video to make audiences agree with them. Imagine putting someone with symmetry & aesthetics (like Frank Zane). I bet general reaction would be different.

I suffer from Feceorexia.
No matter what I do my turds are never big enough.
-
Ken doesn't have 'bigorexia', ken has a bad case of pusitis.

i was so skinny as a kid. i remember seeing other kids and they had at least some kind of chest and i'd have ribs going across mine. now i'm not close to big yet 15.25 inch arms 41.5 inch chest 25.5 inch legs 184 pounds. but i'm always looking at random people and trying to figure out if they are bigger than me or not. not in the gym just anywhere... i'm always thinking... that guy is small, is he bigger than me? and i try to measure other people up and figure out if they are bigger than me. i have friends and people i know who's arms i've seen and i always think their arms are bigger than mine and it turns out their arms are only like 13 or 14 inches.

So they are trying to say that the BB lifestyle is a Disorder? But being a pathetic weak lard ass fat reject sitting on the couch - jacking off and eating cheetos - watching worthless crap like this on the TV is a normal lifestyle?
That guy in the video should strangle his homo doctor and then shoot himself in his bitch ass head.

couldn't have said it better myself. my mother's been giving me the same thing for years. if it was up to her i would probably be lucky to weigh 130 right now. it really pisses me off how people can be so ignorant about bodybuilding. if someone sees you skinny they tell you you need to gain some weight or "fill out more" what a garbage line because bodybuilding is the only thing to do. just eat and not work out right? people actually think you can look better like that. because they see someone with bigger muscles than you and not necesarily cut or anything they think it's because that person eats more or you should look like them but at the same time they're against the idea of bodybuilding like there's any other way to do it and anybody who's gained any sort of muscle has to be on steroids. right now i'm training my brother who's fat and whenever i talk about my goals or anything he asks me why dont i just stay the way i am as if i was suffering or something with what i'm doing and as if it was so hard to grow any more muscle or get in better shape that it's just not worth it and that i'm killing myself doing it. i talk about plans and changes in my routine or diet and he says this stuff. this is what bodybuilding is all about without changing your workouts, trying to figure out how to bring up certain bodyparts, figuring out how to bring up your size or anything there wouldn't be bodybuilding.

this video is right on target, if you guys cant handle the truth, ie you are suffering from body dysmorphia, that's your problem.
But whatever you says, you suffer from a mental illness, like i do, like all of us do.
So what. Everyone suffers from mental illness, we are all crazy somewhere, all lacking something.
Feel glad not suffering from smallorexia: ie people who are skinny and think they weigh 300 pounds of pure muscle mass.
they tend to have ILS too (imaginary lats syndrom) ahah
the funny is, watchign this video gave ma a rush of adrenalin and an incredible need to lift some fuckign wieghts.
If i'm crazy, why not being crazy more and more.

Dumb video... He lies, he said he wants everything on him to be big, but it is noticiable that he trimms his unibrow now....
-
I understand the way he feels but he looks pretty good.
And why in the hell if he new he was gonna be on camara would he not shave that fucking hair off him self.

worrying about how you look is a feminine trait

Harrison Pope, the main writer for THE ADONIS COMPLEX, is the one who did the most to popularize the notion of "male body obsession," otherwise called "bigorexia." He has had it out for bodybuilders since the 1980s, when he started publishing professionally on the desire to use steroids as a mental illness. If you look at the ADONIS COMPLEX book's self-quiz on whether you have it or not, even the desire to use steroids is grounds to say you "have" it. Also, passing up a social invitation to work out is a sign you "have" it. In short, it's horseshit. But it's had a big influence & the media has picked it up like it's gospel truth. But what it actually is is prejudice against bodybuilding.
Anything you want to do well enough to compete in causes some degree of obsession/compulsion. Classical pianists train 12 hours a day. Any Olympic athlete has similarly rigorous schedules. Does that make them mentally ill?

I agree with the above post. I think it all bull. Even intellectually...you have to be "obsessive" If you trying to write a thesis...or trying to become a phd...whic only less then 1 percent of the worlds population is then there is always that osession and that drive to be more. Are they gonna come up with a diagnoises for that as well??? all crap
