  Get 10% OFF at elitefts (CODE: TABLE TALK): https://www.elitefts.com/  Shop Bands: https://www.elitefts.com/shop/bands.html   We welcome Brian Kichton to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!   After spending most of his life under the bar, Brian Kichton dove headfirst into strongman in mid-2021—and hasn’t looked back since. With a rapid ascent through the ranks, Brian captured the 2023 Strongman Corp Amateur Nationals title, securing his coveted pro card and making his mark as a serious contender in the sport. After a strong showing at the Amateur Arnold, he’s turned his focus to competing as a pro on the global stage through the Strongman Champions League, where he’s pushing his limits against some of the world’s best.   When he’s not pressing logs or deadlifting cars, Brian balances the iron game with a career in finance—proving you can wear a suit by day and lift atlas stones by night. He recently relocated to Atlanta with his wife and two loyal pitbulls, embracing the grind of pro strongman while building a life off the platform.   Brian's IG: https://www.instagram.com/judas_peach/   THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS  Get 10% OFF Your Next Marek Health Labs (CODE: TABLETALK): https://marekhealth.com/ Get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT’s most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase: https://partners.drinklmnt.com/free-gift-with-purchase?utm_campaign=agwp&am…   Save Up to 20% at Sleepme (CODE: TABLE TALK): https://sleep.me/tabletalk Get 10% OFF RP Hypertrophy App (CODE: TABLE TALK) :https://go.rpstrength.com/hypertrophy-app/  Get 10% OFF at elitefts (CODE: TABLE TALK): https://www.elitefts.com/  Get 10% OFF at Granite Nutrition (CODE TABLETALK): https://granitenutrition.com/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=Dave_Tate Save $250 at the Business of Strength Retreat 2025 (CODE: Elite250): https://bosretreat.com/     SUPPORT THE SHOW    All profits from elitefts Limited Edition Apparel, Table Talk Coffee, and Team elitefts Workouts, Programs, and Training eBooks support Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast.    elitefts Shop: https://www.elitefts.com/  elitefts IG: https://www.instagram.com/elitefts/    elitefts  Limited Edition Apparel: https://www.elitefts.com/shop/apparel/limited-edition.html
