[Alex Ptacek]

Chase is an inspiration. I want to be like Chase.

You'd have to have Type I diabetes -- the other part of the story that makes this even more remarkable.

That's incredible.

This guy has Type I too.

Also, I see no Bosu-ball work in Chase's Log. He's obviously hiding the important stuff.

What’s really impressive is how his bench almost equals his press, or should I say his press almost equals his bench

[David Kirkham]

Congratulations Chase. That's a monster lift.

Not bad for an assistance lift, right?

Chase's program looks a lot like a split routine heavy/light or volume/intensity model in PPST3 under the intermediate section. Of course there is a change to focus on the press leading up to the competition in addition to squat and deadlift. I would have thought Chase is an advanced athlete.

Looking at that, it begs the question, why do a number of other SSC's suggest more complicated programming for intermediates with different intensities (RPE or % or whatever), different volume (back of sets etc), and different equipment (chains)?

Thanks for putting this out there, Chase, Nick.
