J.V. Askem Tribute Site & DIY Farmers Walk Bars

This is a "partial mirror" to the original site of J.V. Askem (1947-2003). Askem was a personal trainer and Olympic weightlifting coach who has held lifting records and has been published in Milo. There is a ton of information here. Thank you to the kind people who are keeping the site alive. John Victor (JV) Askem Tribute Site Askem's site also has information on a cheaper alternative to farmers walk implements. For less than $20 a pair for bars that hold over 300 lbs, you would be hard pressed to spend the money on a high-dollar commercial equivalent. You can find the plans here: Askem's Farmers Walk Bars
