We welcome Chris Vachio to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!
Chris Vachio has been training with purpose for over 40 years. A true veteran of the iron game, Chris started lifting in the early ‘80s and hasn’t let up since. He first made his mark in the 1990s, dabbling in both bodybuilding and powerlifting, but it was Strongman that ultimately became his long-term passion.
For the past 16 years, Chris has dedicated himself to competing in and promoting Strongman events across the country. As a competitor, he’s known for his grit, consistency, and old-school training mindset. As a promoter, Chris has earned widespread respect for running top-tier contests that are both lifter-focused and well-organized—helping grow the sport from the grassroots level up.
Check out his Adaptive Strongman competition this October: America’s Strongest Athlete with Disabilities 2025 https://ironpodium.com/browse/event/america-s-strongest-athlete-with-disabi… – celebrating it's 10th anniversary!
