Sam's intense workout routine and feelings of inadequacy despite visible physical fitness suggest he may have muscle dysmorphia, also known as "bigorexia" or "reverse anorexia." Muscle dysmorphia is a type of body dysmorphic disorder characterized by an obsession with building muscle mass and a distorted perception of one's own body size and shape.
