Do you guys feel jacked one day, then small the next?

[Growingpains]

Recently, I have found myself in certain situations where I feel like I look great. My mood improves, I am more confident and proud of my hard work.

Yet, on other days, I feel small, out of shape, and sluggish?

Is this normal?

Is there anyone else who feels this way too? I know it's all mental - messes with my head!

Gp

[lucabratzi]

yeah def....i get that, usually when i dont train for a few days...i feel like a complete fat ass...but i remember last year when i was 250+ and still felt small, strange how ur head can play tricks on u...

[Chemical King]

i tend to feel go after a good workout when i walk home knowin im pumped up. But maybe the next time i go wil b the day after next so wont feel as big, especialy wen u walk in2 to gym and c much bigger guys.

[t-gunz]

Yeha i get that.. after a work out when i feel as my muscles have been used and have the sore feeling if you know what i mean. i feel really good. when it wears off i don't feel near as good

[perfectbeast2001]

I get that feeling all the time, sometimes I look in the mirror and I look like crap and other times I think I look good, wierd!

[STYLE74]

I feel small in the morning and then as soon as i eat my first meal i start to grow again.

[Air Walker]

To me it happens the reverse.

I feel big in the morning and then as soon as I eat I shrink.

i never feel jacked

Welcome to the world of AAS...

[rar1015]

I was in the same boat..So I had a hardcore session yeserday..
The time off is exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries.

I've been going through this since day 1. I think a lot of us have the opposite of anorexia; we feel small. I coould have swore there is a medical term for it.

[AnabolicAndre]

bigorexia.


i think its good for me it just keeps me aspiring for more, I mean I know the feeling sucks but if thats what it takes, then be it what it is.

[bigfish]

Is that what's it's really called ?

[thestudent]

Yes it is called bigorexia

[Phreak101]

I only feel jacked right after a workout. If I could look like that all the time I would be happy.

[bigfish]

Well i have bigorexia like a mofo. I never feel big enough. It's funny thoough because i'll see people I grew up with and they'll be like damn your big, and I'll I just don't see it. It's funny how they always think you weight like 15 pounds more than you really do.

isay that shit all the time. Especially after a chest workout

[mavsluva]

Yeah, I go through this mental hurdle quite often myself. I find that I feel smaller and weaker when I've ate a nasty meal because I had to, not because I wanted to (family get together, birthday celebration, etc.).

[Phreak101]

isay that shit all the time. Especially after a chest workout

Or after a cycle...

[lightwaytbaby]

definately...

[rar1015]

here rar...get back in there

I am man, i just needed a little break and get some rest. After a while it starts to take a toll on ya man but now im all charged up again and ready to go.

Bigorexia
Sometimes called muscle dysmorphia or reverse anorexia this condition is coming under greater scrutiny as more and more men strive for physical perfection but never believe it has been achieved. Work and relationships may suffer as this ultimately destructive lifestyle brings nothing but emptiness and disillusion.

[bigfish]

I think that being in the shape I'm in has helped me a lot in life. people respond to people better that are in superior shape. Only thing I don't like is having to find clothes that fit right.

[Panzerfaust]

I am 3 weeks into my latest "cut" and one minute it seems like it is going well and then the next it feels all jacked up. To much relationship stress IMO, stress kills a mans work ethic and mood and self image etc.

Feel good today though...usually do chest today but after walking around looking at the mirrors throughout the day, i felt i need to hit shoulders this evening. Damn mind games is all it is.

[big L 17]

i always fell jacked after working out but i am just pumped up till the next moring.

[Schmidty]

I ferel like that all the time
