About Chasing Iron

Hi! My name's Chase. I'm a bodybuilder and the founder of Chasing Iron. As a bodybuilder, I understand very well that the physique of your dreams isn't something that can be handed to you- it's something you have to chase. I know what it feels like to step into the gym with no plan, big goals, and even bigger doubts. Chasing Iron was built to guide you toward the physique of your dreams, without all the second guessing, crappy and suboptimal training, and inconsistency that comes from a lack of experience and real training knowledge. Being a Chasing Iron client is more than just having a plan or a coach- it's an investment into yourself. With proper programming and an expert coach, the physique of your dreams could be closer than you think.

Whether you've never stepped foot in a gym before, or you're an elite bodybuilder with years of experience, Chasing Iron programs and coaching can guide you to your goals faster than you'd ever thought possible before, whether that's through learning the fundamentals of training and muscle growth or through advanced intensity techniques and small optimizations.

Many trainers will keep you on the same, cookie-cutter, copy-paste program, and won't go into depth or detail with you on the important details or intricacies of your training. While this may be acceptable to some, it's not to me, and that's where the greatest strength of my coaching lies.

My goal is not just to train, but also to teach. More than just helping you optimize your training to reach your goals as fast as possible, I aim to help you understand the WHY, or the reasoning behind every decision that is made for your training, and to answer any and all questions that you have. I've learned firsthand, through coaching myself and others, that understanding your training makes an exercise regiment more fun and easier to stick to.

I don't aim to keep you on as a client for the rest of your life. My goal is to bestow enough knowledge and experience onto you that you can feel confident in training by yourself as you leave my roster.

Of course, I know plenty of people who would much prefer that I take total control of your training, and who don't want to bother learning more about lifting, nutrition or anything else. I'm more than happy to personally micromanage every detail of your training with the same level of care and consideration I use for my own.

So what are my qualifications?

A lot of coaches rely on meaningless certificates that only take a few months. I rely on years of results and thorough research. I’ve spent thousands of hours studying training science, applying it in practice in my own training, and refining methods that produce real progress. Everything I teach comes from experience, extensive research, and constant testing. Not from a crappy digital course or a generic, broad certification.

One of my many goals and passions is to understand everything there is to know in regards to exercise science and hypertrophy. There is no topic I understand more than the art of building muscle. And I mean it when I call building muscle an ART. There is so much that goes into optimizing muscle growth that it takes thousands of hours to fully comprehend it all. I've sunk thousands of hours into videos, articles, e-books and hard cover books, studies, meta-analyses, and more. 

All that to say, I am definitely an expert, ESPECIALLY in the field of making research-backed training programs that will give you real results.

That said, I am not perfect, as with any coach. My goal, both for myself and my clients, is to be as optimal and accurate as possible about everything in regards to optimizing hypertrophy and reaching goals as fast as possible. Not just because I want bigger muscles, and not just because I want to use that knowledge to train people to become the best versions of themselves, but because it is my absolute passion. 

But I don't know everything. Nobody does.

Every coach sees only a part, and not the whole. No coach has a 100% correct training system, and if they tell you they do, they're lying. My goal as a coach is to get as close to that 100% accuracy as humanly possible. My goal is for both my clients and myself to know the truth, and that is why you are more than welcome to ask me about or criticize my programs or training systems. I'll always be happy to listen and do my best to respond.

"The confidence people have in their beliefs is not a measure of the quality of evidence, but of the coherence of the story they have managed to tell themselves."

I’ve been lifting for over two years, and in that time I’ve built a physique and strength level that shows how effective my training systems and programs really are. The progress myself and my clients have made isn’t luck or genetics, and it comes from consistent training, expert programming, and constant research, all with the goal of optimizing every last detail of hypertrophy.

As of writing this, I am 16 years old. Despite my age, I’ve already committed myself fully to becoming a professional coach and bodybuilder. I started early as I possibly could because this is the field I want to dedicate my life to and build my career in. Every day I build up my skills, experience, and physique, all to get myself and my clients to their goals as fast as possible.

Most people have, or had, a goal that they wish they’d started sooner. I decided there was no reason to wait. Starting young gives me more time to refine my coaching and stay fully invested in every client and program. If you value professionalism, consistency, knowledge, and someone who takes training, coaching, and bodybuilding seriously, then you've found the right coach.
