Being preoccupied with muscle development involves a disturbance in body image similar to anorexia.  Bignorexia, or muscular dysmorphia, is now affecting hundreds of thousands of men.  For some men muscle devlopment is such a complete preoccupation that they will miss important events, continue training through pain or broken bones, even lose their job rather than interrupt their physical development schedule.  But curiously, these same men are not in love with their bodies.  Despite a well developed physique they are unlikely to show it off and will shy away from situations that expose their bodies.
    The main characteristic of bigorexia is the thought that no matter how hard you try your body is never muscular enough.  Compared to normal weightlifters who report spending up to 40 minutes a day thinking about body development, men with bigorexia report being preoccupied 5 or more hours a day thinking their bodies are under-developed.  Bigorexia men check themselves up to 12 times a day, this compares to roughly 3 times a day with other weightlifters.  Important social events like birthdays, meeting friends, keeping appointments etc are overlooked because they interrupt the training schedule.  Working hours may be seen as too long and some men have lost their jobs because they spend too long training during break periods.  One man avoided sex with his wife in case it used energy he could apply to body building. 
    The use of anabolic steroids is common against bigorexics.  Men continue using steroids despite experiencing side effects such as increased aggression, acne, breast enlargement, impotence, baldness, and testicular shrinkage. 
    This disorder seems so consuming, like the the men with the disorder would have an obsessive compulsive disorder or a personality disorder of some sort.  It's not right to have to live your life this way.
   

I could never imagine living my life that way or a spouse. For someone to be that focused on anything (besides God) is just not right. People are so worried about their body and what they look like to themselves and others. One of my male friends, I wouldn't say they have this disorder, but he doesn't think his calves are big so he refuses to wear shorts ever and every time he lifts his pant legs he always has to make a comment on how small they are. It's dumb I think and I feel sorry for those people because any addiction is hard to battle.

That makes me sad to hear that.  I always thought girls were the ones who were obsessed with their bodies.  But it seems like a lot of guys are obsessed with the way they look too.   That's not a normal life, you're right.  They will never be happy with the way they look, even though to other people they already are perfect.
