He owns Courage Barbell. Having a late start in powerlifting at the age of 27, he rose to be one of the top powerlifters of his day. Chad put up many world-record lifts in amateur and professional powerlifting. At one time, he held the fourth-highest total in history, the highest full meet bench in history, and the fourth-highest squat in history. Chad had a training style that went against the norm, as he was not constrained by the theories that were most popular in the industry.      Chad Aichs on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chadaichs       Courage Barbell Website https://couragebarbell.com/       Courage Barbell Unlimited Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/49VdvezMKIE9y9tSW7EiVD?si=kWBz6b9jQxKntvv_pyVVDQ       Courage Barbell Unlimited Podcast on Amazon https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e21504e9-d1dc-4e15-9157-93c6656c72c7/courage-barbell-unlimited       Courage Barbell Unlimited Podcast on Google https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzQyNDQ5Ni9yc3M?pli=1       elitefts Column https://www.elitefts.com/author/chad-aichs/       Courage Barbell YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/CourageBarbell       ABOUT THE HOST   Dave Tate is the founder and co-owner of elitefts.com.

He graduated at the top of his class in 2009 from Hobart College as a three-year starter as a running back.   Anthony began competing in powerlifting in 2002 at age 15. He quickly came up the ranks, holding world records in both raw-wrapped and sleeve categories, including three overall Arnold XPC Championships and totaling ten times his body weight in 181 and 198 classes.   In the 2017 Animal Cage, he completed an expo lift (one squat, one bench, and one dead), totaling ten times his body weight in less than 60 seconds.   Anthony has always been a fan of the entire sport of powerlifting, so in 2020 he transitioned into equipped lifting with his eyes set on becoming the lightest man in history to squat over 1000 pounds. In September 2022, he successfully squatted 1010 pounds at 191.5.   When Anthony isn’t competing, he works as a District Sales Manager in the construction industry, overseeing 60+ employees in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. He and his wife, Melissa own a private gym in Las Vegas, NV, called Back Alley Barbell, where they promote old-school team lifting concepts in both raw and geared powerlifting.   Anthony's IG: https://www.instagram.com/antstillhungry/       ABOUT THE HOST   Dave Tate is the founder and co-owner of elitefts.com.

He runs Atlantic City Barbell out of his home since 2014.   He did his first equipped meet in 2016 and had his daughter (10 at the time) call his depth and his wife wrapping his knees. He went 955/725/700 for 2380 at 275. He used this total to qualify for his first equipped Arnold and hit a 2500 total via 1040/770/690. Things went on this way for a couple of years as he clawed his way up the total charts. He was noticed enough after a 2605 total (1125/760/720), and he was invited to the WPO return in 2018, where he finished second in the heavyweights after Hoff.   For the 2019 WPO, Bob finished second behind Hoff again, although there were no classes this time. He pushed the total inch by inch over the years from 2710 to 2715 to 2720 (#5 All-Time). His squat is at 1165 (#5 All-Time), and his bench is at 835 (#2 All-Time).
