We’ve seen all manner of shocking body changes and alterations over the years here at Newsner. Many of them leave you wondering what the individual in question is thinking; a small few quite literally leave you lost for words.
I’ll let you decide which category this one fits in, as a man documents his journey to get into bodybuilding shape with a couple of unusual caveats.
31-year-old Peter Mossfield has accepted a challenge to transform his body into bodybuilding form and eventually compete on stage, all while taking steroids, skipping workouts, and drinking no fewer than 24 beers a day.
As per reports, Mossfield, no stranger to unconventional challenges, has a $60,000 bet riding on the outcome.
The 31-year-old, who goes by @boozebagfitness on TikTok, previously won thousands after successfully betting that he could become addicted to alcohol before later quitting. It goes without saying that this isn’t a money-making scheme we would actively endorse, but it does say a deal about the determination and strength of character Mossfield has.
And he’ll likely need to channel every ounce of those qualities if he’s to succeed again, as he’s admitted that he’s relying solely on anabolic steroids to achieve his desired body shape.
That’s right, the TikToker confessed that although he had initially planned to put in the hard hours at the gym necessary to sculpt his body into a bodybuilding aesthetic, he’s since abandoned that idea.
He showed off his ‘work’ so far in a recent TikTok video captioned: “Finally hit 10% body fat.”
With a reported three weeks to go until the bodybuilding show where he will take the stage, Mossfield is now cutting out the 24 beers from his diet in a bid to enter the ‘cutting phase’, where he’ll look to lose any excess fat to appear as lean and shredded as possible.
He will, however, then increase his daily drinking post-competition to an astounding 26 to 27 beers per day in order to stay true to the rules of another challenge that stipulate he will maintain an average of 24 drinks per day across the calendar 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 gone on record to admit that he is experiencing side effects including poor sleep and severe cramping, but he believes supplements and IV treatments can manage those issues.
Needless to say, his left-field approach hasn’t gone down all too well within the fitness community. Mossfield, though, claims the negative reaction goes beyond criticism.
“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 an Instagram post.
Not only that, but Mossfield doesn’t plan on putting the wild challenges to bed once he’s completed the ones he’s currently undertaking. On the contrary, he plans to run a marathon while smoking cigarettes, and plans to see what happens if he only trains his biceps and shoulders for six months. He’ll also be building a home gym where he can drink while lifting weights.
Not that readers need any more evidence that this is at best an unadvisable venture, but doctors actively warn that steroid use carries serious risks, particularly when done 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, as per LadBible.
“This is because regularly taking anabolic steroids can lead to both physical and psychological changes, as well as certain dangerous medical conditions.”
