Training

Chase’s training in the gym involves a mixture of heavy lifts with low reps, and lighter weights with higher reps. When performing compound movements such as squats and deadlifts, Chase prefers to lift heavy. However, he switches to lighter weights when performing isolation exercises such as preacher curls and dumbbell lateral raises.

Here’s Chase talking about his training methods:

“I always lift heavy whether it’s off-season or pre-contest. I also always mix up both heavy weight low reps and lighter weight with more squeezing for detail. You have to implement both techniques to target the fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. That’s how I get the most out of my training”.
