when i wrote this article i was ashamed of myself because i went through some of this 10 years ago. i didn't have full fledged bigorexia but i had the early stages of it for sure. i wish i had better guidance at the time. it took me time to shake that off on my own so hopefully this article helps people avoid what i went through


i see guys at the gym walk past a mirror and stop and look at themselves, it really is a sickness and i'm glad i don't have it anymore. what amazes me is that when you leave the gym you see those guys getting into huge trucks too. i think the huge truck and wanting to be huge is def a need to over compensate for something.

A lot of health care professionals laugh at bigorexia and argue it's not real but it's 100% real and just as much of as an epidemic as anorexia.


We have a specialist on eating disorders booked for the EVO podcast in the next couple of weeks. It'll be a really good episode. He's a certified specialist who works at the hospital.

I think it is unhealthy to obsess over anything. This is just another example of how that behavior can become dangerous.
I prefer to stay lean and add small amounts of muscle slowly. I feel that is much healthier than what it does to our organs when we add 20lbs to our frames in 12 weeks.
