    Welcome Chase Irons to the 324th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast.

    Chase Irons is a seasoned bodybuilder with 15 years of experience using performance-enhancing drugs, primarily at moderate doses until recently escalating to high-level protocols involving 5g of gear and significant doses of HGH over the last 1.5 years. His approach focuses on extensive bloodwork and polypharmacy strategies to enhance safety for those on similar regimens. Chase is also a new father with a 9-month-old daughter and has been managing a YouTube channel for 8 years, where he educates on the safer practices of steroid usage. Recently, he underwent a testosterone experiment aiming for 20,000 ng/dl in blood levels and received a full torso MRI to assess potential organ damage from his intensified regimen.

    Chase owns a private gym in Chicago, dedicated to his workouts and YouTube filming, stepping away from a decade-long career in coaching and personal training during the pandemic to focus entirely on his YouTube content.
