Man reveals shocking transformation after four months of steroids, no workouts and 24 beers a day
A man has revealed his shocking transformation after spending four months taking steroids, skipping workouts and drinking 24 beers a day.
Peter Mossfield, 31, is taking part in a bizarre challenge to get into bodybuilding shape and compete on stage, with a $60,000 bet riding on the outcome.
A bodybuilding challenge with an unusual twist
Mossfield is no stranger to unusual bets as he has previously won thousands after successfully wagering that he could become addicted to alcohol before later quitting.
Now, he has set himself an even bigger challenge by attempting to transform his body while consuming 24 alcoholic drinks every day.
Although he initially intended to train in the gym, Mossfield says he abandoned that idea and instead relied on anabolic steroids to build muscle.
On his social media page, which goes by the handle @boozebagfitness, Mossfield has documented his progress throughout the challenge.
In a recent TikTok video captioned: "Finally hit 10% body fat," he flexed his bulging arms and defined abs.
He's swapping beer for vodka before the competition
With just three weeks until the bodybuilding show, Mossfield says he is making one temporary change to his routine.
Instead of drinking 24 beers a day, he will be reducing his alcohol intake to zero so he can be as lean as possible before stepping on stage.
According to reports, he has entered the "cutting phase" of his transformation and plans to replace beer with vodka mixed with Diet Coke and protein powder before eliminating alcohol in the final days.
However, he will make up for the reduced drinking after the competiton by drinking between 26 and 27 beers a day to maintain an average of 24 drinks per day across the year.
"I'm not cutting back on zero drinks because I'm an alcoholic or I need to get sober or I'm out of control or plan on being sober long-term," he said.
"I'm cutting down because I want the four days prior to the show to be as shred as possible. If I'm withdrawing, if I'm sweating, if I'm throwing up, that's just going to make me even leaner."
Mossfield has also confessed that he is experiencing side effects such as poor sleep and severe cramping but reportedly believes supplements and IV treatments can manage those issues.
While some followers praised his look, many others have expressed concern over the health implications of the experiment.
"Bruh you're going to either die or long term medical and mental issues! Please stop," one user commented.
Another wrote: "By the way, I think it's just unhealthy. I mean the progress is wild... like years in like months. But I wonder about the impact after."
He claims fitness influencers want to silence him
The TikToker says the reaction he's gotten from the fitness and bodybuilding community has gone beyond criticism.
He claims some people have reported his social media accounts, leading to restrictions that have reduced his audience.
"They’ve chose to suppress the Boozebag method and uphold the LIES of the fitness industry by attempting to silence me purely because I was honest and direct about my experience. We will not let them win," he said in a post on Instagram.
He has encouraged people to continue following his accounts so they can see how he performs at the bodybuilding competition.
Mossfield also says he has plenty more controversial challenges planned, including running a marathon while smoking cigarettes, training only his biceps and shoulders for six months, and building a home gym where he plans to drink while lifting weights.
Doctors warn of the health risks
Medical experts have warned that steroids carry serious risks, particularly when used without medical supervision.
"Anabolic steroids are often used to build muscle and enhance performance, but they can be dangerous if used incorrectly or without medical advice," Dr Kathryn Basford at Asda Online Doctor said.
"This is because regularly taking anabolic steroids can lead to both physical and psychological changes, as well as certain dangerous medical conditions."
For men, possible side effects include reduced sperm count, infertility, hair loss, an increased risk of testicular cancer and erectile dysfunction.
Steroid use has also been linked to heart attacks, strokes, liver and kidney problems, high blood pressure, as well as psychological effects including aggressive behaviour, paranoia and mood swings.
Doctors also advise against drinking alcohol while taking steroids because both can place a strain on the body.
