Man that is a leap to take especially when he looks so young, did he do this for some medical issue or just wanted off gear?

WTF!?!

not understanding....COOL??? thak god I dont have any idea about people like this and socials

Yes, watched the vid and mad respect to Chase for his decision that family comes first. Chase was a major contributor to our community, but priorities are priorities, and I greatly respect him for his decision to down size for his family to make sure he's around for life. Props to him

Can’t wait for the future video about the peptide that put 50lbs of muscle in him in 6 weeks. Haha

But in all seriousness…always respect for people putting their family first!

This is interesting. It's becoming somewhat of a trend. Dwayne Johnson, Dave Bautista and now Chase Irons. I wonder how much this is going to catch on? I've been back and forth. Since Reta and loosing 33lbs I would like to put the weight back on, but in muscle. But I am 56 now and the girlfriend, to be wife, loves the size and muscles. I tell her I have to pay attention to my health even more so now that I'm 56.

What’s the point in taking 5 grams of gear and 16iu of gh to then simply downsize and lose 50lbs? I understand being healthy but I think at a relatively young age you can still be muscular and healthy

He’s putting his family first now. He out himself first for a decade abusing himself as a guinea pig. I met him and we talked. Super nice guy. Wish him the best but he’s not a hero nor the first to go from mega doses to TRT. He looks like he has cancer to me. Perhaps there’s a middle ground?

Smart move imo, way less stress on his body. One quote i remember from a bodybuilding podcast "There are dumb young bodybuilders and wise old bodybuilders. There are no dumb old bodybuilders their all gone." I'm actually surprised more people don't downsize in their 40s /50s, I know many nfl lineman thats the first thing they do when retiring. I think Joe Thomas and Marshall yanda were a few notable ones.

It seems to be a trend where bodybuilders get huge, then have an epiphany due to a health scare or the death of some other bodybuilder. They shrink down. And often times, get bit by the bug again only to go back to being huge. (see Jordan Peters amongst others).

He’s got that thing Mike Israetel has going on , with his head growing in different directions.

Can you blame them? It’s a vicious cycle of addiction in a way… being big is addictive. Feeling super human in the gym is addictive. It does feed the ego…. I never ever look down on guys that downsize as I used to now that I’m older and have gone through it myself. Being truly big is a lot on the body on its own, gear use aside. Definitely something to think of when a man especially has a family, this all comes with risk.

I remember a few years ago, may be many years by now, but it was Skip Hill, made a post on his site that he was dropping to TRT, getting off all other stuff, and was going to downsize and basically just do the health thing. It was like a year and half later and he posted a pic of him looking huge and jacked as fuck, and everyone was like, uhh Skip? whats up? and he basically said something along the lines of..Yeah I couldn't give it up, missed being jacked as fuck, tan, lean etc too much. It was funny to me, but only because I can empathize.

Once you get a little older and wiser you realize life is more important then just muscles. Feeling good is worth a LOT as you age. When you’re young you don’t care or even think about it.

 

[Fleezy]

You can be big without being huge

There are levels to this lol.. it’s not all or nothing

The addiction and even just acclimation to being a large BB over many years is real.
A someone with a family and who has been doing this for 40+ years non-stop (though conservatively) I'd say these kind of sudden pivot moves are destined to fail.

One needs to slowly step back and get used to the "new normal" and adapt, assess, and then take another step.
At 56 I still hold the same size, except for my legs. The hardest thing mentally is not to push and try to grow further. For me personally it's not really about being bigger but achieving goals.
It takes time to find new goals that resonate enough with our core character if you want to step away with lasting success.

Glad to see he came around, always liked listening to his stuff.

There's no way to justify running 5 plus grams of Test a week, over a gram of Tren a week and 18iu of Serostim a day as a fucking hobby lifter with a kid. People will buy his peptides and shit regardless of whether he's huge.

The amount of guys who care more about being huge than they do about being there for their wives and kids and family is astonishing.

 

[SouthernMuscle]

If that was 50lbs how tall is he? He now looks like the father of the guy in the left pic

Edit- looked at the pic again and saw where he stood relative to the door……

I think everyone but a few are missing the real point as to why he’s doing this.
Give it some time fellas, Chase is a businessman. He is mentored by Alex Hormozi.
Money goes to money. This a calculated decision for a much bigger move.
