Disclaimer - in this podcast there is some mention of calorie intake, exercise amounts, and body weight. I've done my best to beep out numbers and amounts but please do be careful if this is something that might be up setting for you.

In this episode of the MyoMinds Podcast I speak with Micky David, the actor and writer staring in the up coming short film "Bulking up" which follows the life of someone developing muscle dysmorphia.

Listen in full to hear us discuss:

  • Micky's experience with muscle dysmorphia
  • How the plans for the film are going
  • Our opinions on the disordered behaviours rooted in the fitness community
  • The pressure put on men by tv and film
  • The fine line between dedication and obsession

This episodes Devils Advocate Question: Don’t you think all this focus on muscle dysmorphia steering people away from great traits such as dedication and self control?
