Articles by JV Askem

John Victor Askem taught Jesse and several other Sequim High School athletes how to Olympic lift. Jesse and JV trained together for a number of years and spent a lot of time discussing, planning, arguing and debating the study of strength. Many of Jesse's strength training philosophies were adopted from JV's principles. JV strict military pressed his bodyweight of 215 pounds just two weeks before he died from a brain tumor in 2003. Even though he knew his time was coming, he never stopped training. He loved the iron. He had an iron mind. His teachings live on through all those that he mentored. JV wrote the following articles.
