I think I do

i swear i was just thinking of making this post.

i'm 6'3'', 300 lbs and i often find myself feeling small. I'm used to working out in nothing-special gyms where i'm usually the biggest dude by far. Lately I've been in this new gym thats actually a great, farely hard-core type gym, which attracts a lot of bigger dudes. I kept seeing guys in there today and thinking "wow that guy is big!" then i would end up standing next to them and realize... "hey, i'm much bigger than that dude."

Oh well.

asking this question is like asking anyone on here if they lift weights or juice...

Exactly. Who doesn't have body dysmorphia. My boss as work says I'm a "reverse anorexic"....

I have, however, learned to embrace my dysfunction....

good one smalls...this has become a huge problem with males...once it was only women who we worried about with BD. But these days men have become troubled by this disorder.

Understand this, I use to weigh 140 at 5'10 age 19...im 25 now 195 pounds at a lean 8 % bf with no AS history to date. Many times I think im small, I have a very tiny frame with smalls bones, through intense workouts I have been able to stake lean muscel on it. But I will never reach what is considered "huge" without AS use at somepoint, and even then 220 will look small compared to 260.

Keep in mind this site is called ELITE for a reason, we are the elite. Something like half the country is overweight, but we spend most of our time in gyms around other bodybuilders. Im sure Cutler feels small next to Coleman...learn to be happy with your body if you can, im still working at it.

Also on a sidenote why is the Mens Health body put down so much...is this sport all about size? For most of us it is, but I was just wondering because it seems a nice symetric ripped body is put down on elite alot.

well kinda

I use to b heavy as a child and a teeneager, then got my act together,
btu I still have a private aversion getting nekked

my girl freind of present loves my body, and says my legs, arms and chest are
"specimens"

and yet it took me a couple weeks before I felt comfortable getting competely nekkid with her

well ever since i've gained the 16lbs my pants aren't quite fitting as well and my thighs have grown so they are tighter against my pants... so i feel kinda fat in a way.. i'm used to being small so to be bustin out of my pants is a new thing for me... i'm by far not fat, but for some reason i have a hard time not feeling that way.

i weigh the most i've ever weighed in my life and it was all muscle that i grew... *sighs* what is up with me? LOL

I wish everyone would STFU about this bigorexia bullshit....anything not alligned with the norm is considered a "mental condition." Fuck that, I consider myself too small because I'm smaller than I want to be, that's it...fucking psychologists wanna make money by slapping a disorder label on everything.

 

[PLAYED THREAD ALERT]

condolences to everyone affected by yet another classification by those scientists who are the ones with the real problem being obsessed with having to classify everything and everyone...

...but we all know why I'm here.
