Bigaxorexia

[Natureboy71]

What ever term you want to call it, I wonder if I have it.

5'10, 230 pounds 20% bf. (BF high while bulking, but not competing either)

Right now on cycle, my arms are 19" yet I look in the mirror and think, "dam, I am scrawny, people are going to think that!".

Maybe I look at myself too much.

Maybe this helps me to train even harder? That is a good thing?

Anyone else go through this?

I know i do that i always think i'm small I think its cause my head is to big for my body i need to get up to 250 to look proportionate and balance my head to body size.

same here u don't see what other people see right. u compare yourself 2 every dude that passes that is even a little big!! i constantly ask my girlfriend " am i as big as him?" or " am i bigger than him?" it drives her crazy, and if she says yes i still don't believe her anyway. its a no win situation for me at least. anyway yea your not alone.

[Liftnainez]

i think most suffer from it in a certain way.. some have/think about it more than others.. i know i do

[SVTMuscle*]

hell yah man. not matter how big we get, we'll never get big enough to satisfy ourselves

[Carlos_E]

I don't compare myself to other people I compare myself to pro bbders I know. So I'll always be small until I reach pro size.

[BlueAndromeda73]

Its great motivation IMO...seeing myself as small always makes me work hard in the gym and has helped my diet a lot as well

haha I go through the same sh*t with my girlfriend! It's all because of the GI-Joes we grew up with...

[Kale]

Sure do !!!! Every time I look in the mirror I think I am small. From the comments I get I know I am not but its my mind that I listen to unfortunately

[SwoleCat]

Totally natural, yes.

[chest6]

Yes..normal. I would say a large %age of the members here have it

[novicenovicen]

too true!

[taiboxa]

i just weighed in at 298.2lbs yesterday and i feel tiny ><

[MFT81]

I just started dieting and doing cardio after 5 years of "bulking" last week I weighed 215ish and this morning after cardio I weighed 208. I know its just water and glycogen, but when you never think you look big enough and then start cutting it really fukcs with your head.

I guess another name for Bigorexia is Bodybuilding.

yes definately. id say, its pretty likely that most if not all of the guys here have bigorexia. i can honestly say that i have it really bad, and i see it as a good thing cause it motivates me to keep lifting hard

its not my idea of being this big.. i str train ..im a wanna be strongman .. i look at size as a "negative" side'effect of what i do .. right now im getting ready to do another str training phase (which is a hellacious cycle of tren/halo n' stuff which nerfs all stamina) then i when i get done w/ that i do endurance training phase where i run like test (REAL LOW and Deca) for joints and thats when i drop alot of weight... i just found it impossible to train for both str and stamina at same time since the compounds i use conflict w/ my goals. no, nopics not a big fan of posting pics

[lucabratzi]

its funny cause random people will always give me comments or ask questions...i dont think im big at all....and usually dont even let stuff get to my head...but today this girl that was helpin me with math was like, u got so fckin big...ur like a monster...and just kept on goin on and on...she's known me since high school so she seen me skinny as **** at 170lbs...i told her i still feel like the skinny kid in high school...wierd how that works...

[RuhlFreak55]

I feel the same way. I just say thank you for the compliment. I don't feel that I am big. The only time I do is when I go shopping for cloths or sometimes if I go out to a club or bar and everyone I see is smaller than me. I like getting bigger but sometimes it makes me feel self conscious. Especially when I walk into a room and everyone turns and stares.

how long have you weighed 298?

did you gain that over a short or long period?

did you weigh alot before you started training/supplementing?

oddly enough i never had injurys till i started strong man functional shit now im always a train reck

[Steve80]

I think I have this. I am not huge, but I have gotten alot bigger than I was. People in the gym I used to look at and say man I wish I was like that, now I look at them and think hmmmm they must have taken a break because I am bigger. In reality I prolly grew. When I look at myself I still see myself small, but everyone else is like damn dude you are gettin bigger.

[Panzerfaust]

I got some kind of issues..i hope its all mental cause i think i look like absolute horseshit although i am told differently.
