Mental Complex

**CWinden** · 03-07-2006, 06:57 AM

All right I was reading a health and fitness magazine once, and it was talking about this like mental complex guys that weight lift get. I can't remember what the hell the word was! It means like when a guy lifts for a year or whatever or takes a cycle and just gets huge, but he doesn't notice it. You know what I mean? Like everybody tells him he's getting huge, but this mental complex he has on himself, all he see's when he looks in the mirror is how small he is, even if hes gained 20Lbs of muscle... Anybody know what im talking about!? Thanks

Dismorphia or megarexia, it's like the oposite ove anorexia.. I think most people who works out have some symptoms of this to some degree.

Bigorexia. Yeah, I've got it and I'm glad.

One thing is when you never get satisfied enough and want more.. other thing is when you don't see your body as it really is..

hey bro i've heard of this condition, too. i read about it somewhere, these guys that are freakin huge look in the mirror and see themselves as just average or below average. i think it is kind of rare, though. even guys that don't suffer from it sometimes have trouble seeing their gains in the mirror. when that happens to me, i just break out the tape measure lol.....
