On Saturday, Aug. 8, he actually did it.<\/p>\n
Mossfield competed in Men\u2019s Classic Physique<\/a> Open Class B at the 2026 NPC East Coast Mecca Classic in New York. According to the official results, Mossfield finished eighth and last among the competitors who received a placing.<\/p>\n And somehow, the story gets even stranger.<\/p>\n According to Mossfield, he left the venue after prejudging to go drinking. He then lost track of time and missed the finals.<\/p>\n Peter Mossfield Finishes Eighth in Bodybuilding Debut<\/p>\n Generation Iron<\/a> previously covered Mossfield\u2019s unusual bodybuilding experiment<\/a> as it began gaining attention online.<\/p>\n His premise was simple, if extremely controversial: see how much muscle he could build using anabolic steroids without lifting weights.<\/p>\n Alcohol was another major part of the experiment.<\/p>\n Mossfield claimed that during portions of the challenge, he was consuming as many as 24 alcoholic drinks per day. During his cutting phase, he switched from beer to vodka and diet soda in an effort to reduce calories while getting leaner.<\/p>\n Earlier in the experiment, Mossfield said he originally intended to work out while drinking. He ultimately decided he did not want to train and instead began using steroids.<\/p>\n Despite the backlash and obvious health concerns surrounding the stunt, Mossfield continued his prep and ultimately stepped onstage.<\/p>\n The official Men\u2019s Classic Physique Open Class B results were:<\/p>\n Gavin Connelly<\/p>\n Ahmed Eid<\/p>\n Fedor Zhurov<\/p>\n Enrique Bonilla<\/p>\n Joshua Nabbie<\/p>\n Diego Da Silva<\/p>\n Joseph Mauceri<\/p>\n Peter Mossfield<\/p>\n That officially put Mossfield eighth and last among the placed competitors in his class.<\/p>\n Mossfield Says He Went Drinking and Missed Finals<\/p>\n Mossfield apparently thought his physique deserved considerably better.<\/p>\n \u201cIn my mind, it was me or one other guy had the best package out there,\u201d Mossfield said in his post-show video.<\/p>\n After prejudging, however, there were several hours before the evening finals.<\/p>\n Mossfield says he used that time to drink.<\/p>\n He claimed his alcohol tolerance had fallen because he had been drinking less during the final weeks of his bodybuilding prep. According to Mossfield, he had averaged fewer than 12 drinks per day over the previous four weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cI kinda lost track of time,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n By the time he realized what had happened, Mossfield says he had missed the finals and individual posing portion of the competition.<\/p>\n He also suggested that failing to shave may have hurt his placing.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t expect to get disqualified that hard or docked that hard for it,\u201d Mossfield said.<\/p>\n Whatever impact those factors may have had, the official results remained the same: eighth place in his bodybuilding debut.<\/p>\n Now He Says He Is Off Steroids and Plans to Start Lifting<\/p>\n The original experiment may be finished, but Mossfield apparently has no plans to stop challenging himself.<\/p>\n His next move is almost the exact opposite of what made him viral in the first place.<\/p>\n Mossfield says he stopped taking steroids following the competition and now intends to begin lifting weights without using anabolic steroids.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a born again natural,\u201d Mossfield joked.<\/p>\n His goal is to determine whether he can maintain the muscle he gained while using PEDs<\/a> by finally introducing resistance training.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited to start lifting as a natty,\u201d Mossfield said.<\/p>\n He wants to see if he can \u201csustain the gains I made from blasting gear and not lifting\u201d by now lifting without using gear.<\/p>\n The break from PEDs may not be permanent.<\/p>\n Mossfield said he wants to give his body time to reset. He specifically mentioned wanting to see if he can sleep normally and whether his sexual function returns to normal before potentially using PEDs again for future challenges.<\/p>\n MMA, Baseball and a \u201cCigarette Marathon\u201d Could Be Next<\/p>\n Those future plans are just as unconventional.<\/p>\n Mossfield says he wants to begin MMA training<\/a>. But he has little interest in developing the endurance required for a prolonged fight.<\/p>\n Instead, he wants to train enough to be able to \u201cknock someone out in the first round.\u201d<\/p>\n He also wants to return to baseball.<\/p>\n Mossfield says he previously pitched before suffering a shoulder injury. He now plans to rehab the shoulder and eventually use PEDs in an attempt to throw a 90-mph fastball.<\/p>\n His goal is to try out for a professional baseball team, although not an MLB organization, in the spring of 2027.<\/p>\n Other proposed challenges include what he called a \u201ccigarette marathon\u201d and a year-long push-up progression. The latter would involve adding one pound to his back each day until eventually performing a push-up<\/a> with roughly 365 pounds.<\/p>\n Whether all of those experiments actually happen remains to be seen.<\/p>\n But Mossfield has now followed through on the challenge that originally made him viral.<\/p>\n He drank heavily. He took steroids. He says he avoided lifting weights. Then he stepped onto a bodybuilding stage and finished eighth in his class.<\/p>\n Now, after completing an entire bodybuilding prep without training, Mossfield says he is finally going to start working out.<\/p>\n Image embed via Instagram @mossfielddiaries<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Preferred](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/preferred-source.webp\"\/)
