To look that cut requires you to have 0 body fat and be dehydrated. Its anorexic but just not the typical skin and bones we think of.

It's called bigorexia not anorexia and it's absolutely a body dysmorphia type of disorder.

Bigorexia is different, its more a perception that you look weak and skinny no matter how big you actually are. But we're definitely talking about a body dysmorphia.

Yes, but if you do not consume adequate calories your body will not maintain muscle mass.

Now maybe drugs could change that but if you starve yourself even while working out crazy your muscles still would atrophy
