isn't it fucking brilliant just smashing it up in the gym, and those tiny off cycle lift gains. i am probably less than half the size of most of the ef regulars but i love just looking at my mates arms, none of them lift and their biceps all look like girls. thats enough for me!

j/k I'm on HRT bro. No more Primo for me.
Oh, so that's why real Primo is available again. Nelson stopped hogging it all.

Its very common, I have it to but its not because you have a mental disorder its because you can see the things that need work. Others aren't used to seeing you ever single day. I've gone from 189lbs to 240lbs in 3 years roughly. I just started cutting a month ago and I'm down to 225lbs and I feel a lot smaller than at 240lbs. Its funny because I don't have a belly anymore and my strength hasn't gone down at all, its actually increase in some areas but I can't help but feel smaller when I look in the mirror.
I think its just drive to improve yourself, I remember saying I'll be happy at 200lbs, then it was 225, then 240, now I'm thinking 260lbs ripped lol. Its a never ending process to see what limits you can take your body. I think that way of thinking is good for you. It doesn't let you get comfortable and keeps your motivation up. So think of it as a positive. You may think you don't look big but others know you are

It's funny. I've never been a mass monster. At 55 I still have a 31" waist. But i was in the gyn yesterday and there's a young trainer who's pretty built -- about my height but young and muscular. So I have in my head that he's bigger than me. (Because so many people are.) Then at one point were side by side working at the benches and I look in the mirror and I realize..."Fuck"...I'm BIGGER than HIM!
But in my mind I didn't see it that way. I still think of myself as that skinny kid who wants to get bigger.

Same thing here, or same principle anyway. I always have people telling me I'm huge, or "you're a monster". I don't see it that way. I haven't had a 31" waist since High School, and I certainly won't have that, but I'm satisfied with a 34. But now I'm down to 215lbs from 255 and feel "small", until I get next to someone in the mirror at the gym.

Well, I went to the local NPC State show today.... Now I feel small all over again! lol. Don't go to a show if you want to feel big! There are always these freakin freaks in the audience all over- you know, short guys with 22 inch arms, 6'3" powerlifters at 300 lbs etc etc. I'm always wondering why some aren't up there competing!? Then, it hits me, they have the same problem we've been discussing here... They don't realize how big they are- or some of them anyhow.
Then, there are guys (not to knock them- they've got heart, hell, I've never even placed myself!) who just shouldn't be onstage. One superheavy (there's always one right?) was atleast 60 lbs overweight! Poor guy. I've been on the other end of that- 6'2" and very little muscle trying to compete when too skinny with the big boys...
It's a weird sport, period. But, I can't get it out of my system.

Ok bro's here's the deal. Stop listening to yourelves for a minute and put some faith in the people around you, who are undoubtably telling you how big you are. I know from persnonal experiance what you guy's are talking about, you think your not big enough, because you see yourself everyday, but people around you are commentiing on how big you are and what good shape your in. For me knowing I'm making good progress in the gym is because I'm fourty years old and 23 year old chicks are alway's trying to fuck me. I'm not even that good looking, but a jacked hard body works wonders. Stop letting your minds play these games with you.
It's pretty simple, it's called the law of diminishing returns. So if you do 'x' amount of gear you see 'x' result, then you do twice 'x' and see almost twice result.
By the time you get to 5 times 'x' you're only seeing 3.2 times the result. And also the bigger you get and the stronger you get the more your milestones are measured in smaller increments and the longer it takes to get to them.
So you're focusing on it intently everyday and there simply isn't alot going on everyday in the change department the way it used to be.
Which does go towards what someone was saying about how they were miserable big and then decided to cut up and were much happier. Perhaps you should move in THAT direction and shift the challenge in a different direction.
Also, sometimes shit just gets old and you get bored or frustrated, and that includes bodybuilding. You might simply need new and more interesting challenges in your life. Not instead of bodybuilding but in addition to bodybuilding.
Some new hobbies or work project or go help sick kids or whatever. Find something else that offers challenge/reward in a way that plugs into your brain the way bodybuilding used to.
