J.V. ASKEM PERFORMING AN OVERHEAD SUPPORT WITH 400 POUNDS

I am an author, physical culturist, body maintenance specialist, plus sometimes a personal trainer and Olympic style weightlifting coach. My experience extends back over 40 years with fitness and strength training as a former bodybuilder, competitive weightlifter, powerlifter, swimmer, and cyclist.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEB SITE IS
to acquaint strength athletes, coaches, personal trainers, and fitness enthusiasts with the benefits of a new training system that I have developed, and to enhance the overall health and fitness of the same.
