Jay Ashman http://ashmanstrength.com  is an Ohio-based strength coach that started lifting weights in high school after his mom told him, “you should start to lift and fill out more.”

His training background is a mix of experience via an NFL workout in 1998 with the Browns, Division 1 & 2 rugby, Strongman contests, Highland Games and even dabbling in CrossFit for a stint.

Despite not having an extensive formal education about exercise science (aside from a 2 year degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant), Jay’s Ashman Strength System, his transparency on and offline, has helped many of those who follow or work with him, exceed their training goals.
