“…For example, studies have shown that competitive bodybuilders are at greater risk of disordered eating than noncompetitive bodybuilders (e.g., Goldfield 2009;Hale et al 2013;Mitchell et al 2017). Previous studies on women practicing fitness sports have shown that disordered eating develops in relation to extrinsic motivation (i.e., a desire to change their appearance) (e.g., Allain, Lentillon-Kaestner, and Ohl 2016). Other studies have underlined that participants suffering from muscle dysmorphia have an extrinsic objective, with aesthetic motivation resulting from body dissatisfaction and the use of dangerous musclebuilding techniques (e.g., Griffiths, Foster, and Shorter 2015).…”

This study investigated eating and deviant behaviors in bodybuilders according to their competitive engagement. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 bodybuilders of different skill levels. Results revealed that dietary strategies and deviations (e.g., disordered eating, doping use, addictive training) developed with competitive commitment. Bodybuilders who intend to engage in competition are in a critical period for the development of deviant behaviors, in relation with increasing drive for muscularity and performance, and coaching pressure. These findings extend the existing literature on deviant behaviors in bodybuilding by providing better insight in the dynamics of development of disordered eating and associated behaviors.

How do gym-goers who are normally not inclined to resort to appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs (APEDs) progressively normalize their use? Based on data collected through a year and a half of participant observation in a gym and 30 semi-directive interviews with practitioners with varying profiles in French-speaking Switzerland, this article examines the evolution of practitioners’ relations with APED use by articulating various levels of analysis. Associated with social vulnerabilities, the progressive normalization of APED use is concomitant with the “conversion” to bodybuilding. Our results show the extent to which and under what conditions interactions within the layout of gyms can influence practices. From refusal to normalization, our results suggest that APEDs and the associated beliefs coincide with career stages, which we aim to bring to light here.
