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/4
