why are you coming across as a total asshole? what exactly is it that i have done so wrong?
First, you claim “nothing but fat gain” which implies you were eating too much and needed to scale it back to where you were still gaining but with less fat. You claim drug use when it clear you don’t even understand how your own body works. Perhaps you were expecting gains too quickly and when that didn’t happen, you increased your calories too much. How much do you weigh now? How old are?
Let me ask that again so you don’t miss it.
HOW OLD ARE YOU AND HOW MUCH DO YOU WEIGH NOW?
I saw a thread about not being able to gain muscle so I thought Id ask a few questions… I thought maybe there might be a doc about this place that might be able to give me his thoughts?
Dude, you asked questions and then claimed you were doing everything right. If you are doing everything right, then what is there to ask about? Clearly there is nothing we can tell you…because you are training perfectly.
I suffer from bigorexia and have been treated for it, but I found the treatment and the psychologist pretty poor. he hadnt even heard of ‘bigorexia’ or ‘muscle dysmorphia’ - he just shoved me infront of a mirror and said “you arent skinny” - like that’s guna help.
You definitely have problems then, and it isn’t “medical” aside from mental. Someone like you is at risk of truly hurting themselves.
I know Im damaging my body, but I’ll carry on doing that with the hope of being able to finally wear a T-shirt out in public some day…
So, you knew you had this problem…so what did you expect to hear from us? You aren’t likely to even listen if you won’t even listen to a medical professional who tried to help you before. “Bigorexia” isn’t some problem that manifests with symptoms never seen before. It is the complete opposite of anorexia meaning that even if your professional had never heard of that exact term before, he could approach it the same way. You, however, didn’t even give him the chance…so what do you expect here?
I’ll carry on training and carry on educating myself like I have been doing all these years. I just hope that there might be something medical behind this that can be dealt with.
Gee, isn’t the problem pretty damn clear?
Im 28 years old, been training 6 years, I weigh 165lbs, I do use gear and yes maybe I should have waited but when you’re desperate to gain musle then you’ll do anything to get it.
my bro knows less than half of what I know, he even comes to me for advice and he goes away uses that advice and it usually works - that makes things even harder, watching your younger bro just train and get bigger, it makes dealing with bigorexia even harder.
"Dude, you asked questions and then claimed you were doing everything right. If you are doing everything right, then what is there to ask about? "
Like I said - there might be a doctor about this place and redsoc has given me somthing to read that mighgt help.
so there you go, that MIGHT help me and if it does then Im glad I did ask questions - it cant hurt to ask, can it? as far as I can see I am doing everything right. my diet is spot on but then I get told by you that it isnt or that i am doing something wrong.
“So, you knew you had this problem…so what did you expect to hear from us?

what has bigorexia got to do with this? Im talking about my lack of gains, not bigorexia!! and do you really expect me to listen to a psychologist when he sits me down and says “you arent skinny” - would you expect an anorexic girl to be sat down infront of a mirror and be told “you arent fat” she listens to that and then thinks “oh, Im not fat!, Im now cured”?? of course I listened to the psychologist, i just didnt believe him. I did give hima chance, I was seeing him for 2 years. what do I expect here? I expect that maybe someone could actually point me in a new direction like redsoc has… Im not here to talk about bigorexia, that is completley irrelevant, Im here to talk about my inability to gain muscle.
What kind of medications are you on/do you take? [/quote]
I was on ciprimil (an anti-d) but having recentley discovered that that medication can cause prolactin levels to rise I have slowly come off it and for the last 3 weeks Ive not been taking anything. I was on it for a good 3 years.
