His powerlifting is important to him. He used to be addicted to opioids and he got clean in prison, by lifting weights.
My question is - how do you support a loved one with this?
I tell him all the time he looks muscular and fit, but he actually tells me a lot that he thinks he could do better.
Oh just to be clear, I'm pretty positive he's not doing roids. Hes really against it, and talks about how those hes lifting against are "cheating" and "not true powerlifters".

If you're worried about his health it might be a good idea to tell him outright. Because just complimenting his body may encourage him further (think like people with anorexia, being told you're really skinny doesn't stop you wanting to lose weight and can fuel it). Also just be an ear if he ever does want to talk about things. But it can be really hard with men who are socialised not to talk about this sort of thing.

I'm a little late here, but I also powerlift. That isn't an eating disorder. That's just what everyone does to make weight if they want to be competitive. He's just manipulating water weight.I've been reading this forum, and I think my brother has this. He's a powerlifter. When he is getting ready for a competition he does bulking and cutting phases. In the bulking he'll eat 12 eggs a day. No fruits or vegetables, only meat and protein. In the cutting he'll sit in the sauna for an hour before the weigh-in and take lax the night before.
His powerlifting is important to him. He used to be addicted to opioids and he got clean in prison, by lifting weights.
My question is - how do you support a loved one with this?
I tell him all the time he looks muscular and fit, but he actually tells me a lot that he thinks he could do better.

It might not be an ED, this is common in sports like this. But it could be. I think the key for it to be a disorder is if it is negatively impacting his life. If he is unhappy because of it or its interfering with his ability to function in daily lif it might be a problem.
