[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 239311, member: 43589"] "Muscle dysmorphia is a relatively recently identified psychological condition that, since its inception, has been variously conceptualized as an eating disorder and subsequently as a type of body dysmorphic disorder within the somatoform disorders." Lord knows, I am not very big on the field of psychiatry. So these guys make up a condition so they can treat it? I have spent a life time working with, training, coaching athletes of all levels and all sports.
