Yeah i know this, and to an extent i am dedicated or even sometimes obseesed with working out myself. I often to random sets of 40 pushups and 100 situps at work and wherever (although i do get embarrased if others see me
)
So that could be obessevie? but i just do it, mainly for a quick adrenaline/endorphin fix.
However,the idea of this thread is purely addressing a mental condition that some guys may have. Like girls starve themselves to get thin (anorexia/bullemia), guys dope up and constantly work out in order to get all hugely muscular. Although it's subjective to where you can draw a line at saying one has a problem and one just wants to get to the next level. I guess it's all about what's both physically and mentally unhealthy for them to do? Although only physcologist and dr's could probably determine that? and i am not one
I wasn't saying that everyone who goes to a gym and often/regular is like this, it's a select few, but i think it's definitley a problem.

what is the point of painting pictures? they don't do anything but look nice... but what was gained in the process of painting them? Self-realization, discipline to keep trying, and an expression of oneself.

Although like anorexia, the main health problem is related to narcissim, or the strive for this (cause they normally hate their bodies) so they go under to rather extreme measures in order to obtain these body types they're pining for. So if the artist was so uptight, such that he coudln't finish or near finish (like some kind of acceptance) with his painting, then theres a problem. He's trying to get to the unattainable and that's causes big problems.
