The American professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau made headlines when people noticed a tremendous change in his physique. Within months, he gained 30 pounds and weighed around 225 pounds from his previous 195 lbs. Since the change happened so fast, the golf world speculated that he was maybe using steroids to gain muscle. 

“I am gonna go get tested for PEDs,” the golfer said in one of his YouTube videos. Many criticized him for taking steroids to change his physique considerably from his former self, although he constantly denied such allegations. Therefore, DeChambeau tested himself and shared it through his YouTube channel to prove his innocence. 

“I know what I did,” DeChambeau added in the drug testing video. “But do you?” he asked his viewers. The nearly 6-minute-long video contained him giving samples at a laboratory, an intense practice session, and getting the results in the end. 

“All negative as expected. See attached! You’re Clean! haha,” the happy golfer loudly read the email he got from the lab. Moreover, he revealed the results, which indicated he was tested negative in every test they ran, including growth hormones.

According to Roskopf,  it took two years to transform the golfer’s body. Furthermore, he also denied the allegations that the golfer took anything to aid it. “Those changes in strength have been amazing,” he firmly stated. “But it’s all natural from this end of it.” 

Notably, DeChambeau started a 3,500 to 6,000 calorie diet plan to increase his body mass. According to Roskopf, the golfer relied mostly on protein powder to get his calories every day. 

Did the change in physique help the golfer? 

The Mad Scientist is known to make innovations to help him bring his A-game to the course. Although many doubted him when he changed his physique for it, DeChambeau and his team worked hard to achieve it. 

The increased ball speed and the driving distance helped him become one of the longest hitters on the tour. Furthermore, he also won the Rocket Mortgage Classic and his first major, the U. S. Open, in 2020 after bulking up. 

Bryson DeChambeau did what he thought right for him. Although he went through intense training and diet to get there, the change helped him get the result he wanted.
