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.

Anthony Hobaica has always been relentlessly competitive. He graduated at the top of his class in 2009 from Hobart College as a three-year starter as a running back. Anthony began competing in powerlifting in 2002 at age 15. He quickly came up the ranks, holding world records in both raw-wrapped and sleeve categories, including three overall Arnold XPC Championships and totaling ten times his body weight in 181 and 198 classes. In the 2017 Animal Cage, he completed an expo lift (one squat, one bench, and one dead), totaling ten times his body weight in less than 60 seconds. Anthony has always been a fan of the entire sport of powerlifting, so in 2020 he transitioned into equipped lifting with his eyes set on becoming the lightest man in history to squat over 1000 pounds. In September 2022, he successfully squatted 1010 pounds at 191.5. When Anthony isn't competing, he works as a District Sales Manager in the construction industry, overseeing 60+ employees in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. He and his wife, Melissa own a private gym in Las Vegas, NV, called Back Alley Barbell, where they promote old-school team lifting concepts in both raw and geared powerlifting.
