Joe Grasso Bio

Joe Grasso started weight training at age 8 as a method to thwart bullies from attacking him in his neighborhood. Being self-taught, he spent sometimes up to 10 hours per day fitness training and weight lifting. He then began taking both karate and jui-jitsu classes to build self defense skills.

This is the same certification that most college strength coaches and trainers are required to have.
