MY PLANS TO COMPETE | Gym and Training Updates

[@Jimmy29li]

I don't understand. You hire a coach like Stefan, it's your way of making money and kind of do whatever you want. Not a criticism, just doesn't make sense.

[@tommylarnefeldt7671]

What does not make sense? I dont understand you at all. No critizism

[@the_notorious_bas]

You can hardly make money from competing (aside from winning the 'O or the Arnold), so running a successful business is much more important.

[@toddmchenry8509]

What a flaccid attempt at a passive aggressive comment.​@@tommylarnefeldt7671

[@jpmartin2312]

​@the_notorious_bas I'd assume they make more from sponsors if they compete and win shows ? unless they have big personalities which he doesnt

[@the_notorious_bas]

@@jpmartin2312 We can only speculate about his ESN contract. Saying that he has no personality is just your opinion, not a fact.

[@MarkBates566]

I brought Ronnie to Swansea a few years ago and it was sold out plus he stayed at mine for 2 days and I got to work out with him before his back issues

[@JohnDoe-12]

Awesome mate

[@kozukioden7832]

Bodybuilding and video games, my two passions. I love your style, thanks for explaining us your next steps!

[@ghostman824]

James is such a great guy. I'll fly to England to meet him one day

[@OGgrinder]

The Shed ✅ miss your banter on bro chat

[@brandonyoung4910]

We all do. Has he stopped for a reason?

[@OGgrinder]

@@brandonyoung4910 I’m assuming it’s bc he’s focusing on himself with trying to put on more mass and his new gym is prob taking up a lot of his time. Hopefully he’ll be back!

[@reverendterminator]

he is on alot on the bodybuilding and bollocks, with Ben Chow Fouad and sometimes others.

[@S400K177]

So confused i thought you was gona work with stefan to try conquering a few pro shows mate with what you already got. Putting on more mass and time out to improve this far into your career is that worth it.

[@reverendterminator]

Imagine if you got 100 Mill British Pound, and you had to use it on bulding your dream gym. I would build a replica of Metroflex Gym in Texas in one corner, and have all the best stuff from different brands. You are close to this dream now, even without the 100 mill.

[@hackinglife9710]

Hire the best coach then do whatever you want to do. 😮

[@hollingshead89]

You mean eating a few take aways for a week? Lol

[@mrmoosbbqkc9830]

Loving the discussion style vids .. !! It's fun to watch the heavy training vids but getting a deeper look into your personality and what makes you tick is really interesting. It's very similar to the Sam Sulek style that's so popular. Loving this style a lot.

[@hollingshead89]

Thank you! I also enjoy doing them

[@stet3933]

Guy wonders why he's coming in 10th place n doesn't listen to yet another coach 🤦‍♂️😂

[@hollingshead89]

When you own business and moving house and stuff all at once it can get a little all over the place. So.. whilst the world is hectic for me I do what I can bud :)

[@stet3933]

Bro you literally made an excuse about a game coming out n that it's the perfect reason to eat more food 😂 getting bigger isn't always the answer Ronnie Coleman was a 1 in a million genetic phenomenon if your heart isn't fully in it because of other things going on then don't waste your time competing till you can commit because there's 9 other people infront of you putting more in n I'm not hating here I respect you n want to see you do well as a fellow brit

[@hollingshead89]

@stet3933 have you played elden ring though? Do you know what it does to a man's soul? Have you fought against the great Drake Bayle the Dread? How can you possible imagine if you haven't stepped a single foot in the lands between or worse still the land of shadows? Fuck.. have I really gotta put this into context in 2024... it pains me

[@BabylonCentral]

​@@hollingshead89 Inspirational stuff. Gym looks great. And you look excited about life and healthy. W.

[@peterreuben5791]

Good morning I woke up to this notification and it was perfect I'm going to eat and train thank you for another great video James

[@alexgiddings8171]

Looking good brother x

[@jasonmeillon4454]

Your true asset is your trueness and honesty. That's what make us gravitate around you as fans. Thanks for being this real and approachable

[@reverendterminator]

I love that a norwegian runs the gym! even though she speaks english better then most Britons.

[@mikeharrison9713]

Would love to schedule something to have you out to the Asylum next time you come to Texas.

[@harrisonlloyd9668]

Eating my eggs and oats and this notification come up on my phone - perfect timing 🫡

That's actually a normal size cup of coffee at the start, GH hand making it look small 👊

[@Easybreezy3257]

Love how you keep it simple,great to hear someone that is doing the bussiness say it. Visited kings in Croydon recently and hopefully the place in Cheltenham soon,all the best for your future plans 👍🏻

[@damiensewell8739]

I fuxking love and miss you big G. Can’t wait to get down and see you. 💙

[@kane6529]

Damn everyone is with the Boss of Outlaw these days 😅

[@robertwirth8779]

Great live stream to get morning cardio done! James is favorite bodybuilder, love the old school mentality

[@BENCHIPED]

I wonder what James would look like if he trained back and shoulder width 3 times in a 10 day cycle and also arms 3 times in a 10 days cycle and legs just once every 2 weeks like Platz use to train his legs. Except adductors. Hit adductors 3 times in a 10 days cycle) Put most of his energy into building that back way up and shoulder width.

[@hollingshead89]

@BENCHIPED that's basically what we are doing. Back is double frequency and so is delts so they actually get hit to a degree even more frequently than that atm

[@TunnelVisionAthletic]

love elden ring and RE

[@koaboyy]

why you not on fouads podcast anymore?

[@adamedw4rds]

the first 20 minutes was like i was listening to me talk.. I going through the exact same view points and problems (just not on a Pro level) 🤣 It's refreshing to hear we aren't alone and there will be times taking a step off the gas is needed.

[@thelonegamer7482]

great vid m8 and I wish you all the best. Oh and BTW, are you looking forward to Black Ops 6? Will you be playing it at all?

[@hollingshead89]

You know I'll be dabbling big lad!

Welcome anytime!

[@robertcolacino7310]

The Arnold Ohio and UK are less than a year away so your not competing again in 2024 but those shows are relatively close and time flies , I would love to see you FKn push the muscle ( weight ) to where you’ve never been before , your awesome now , how about shocking the bodybuilding world FK IT you have the ability and only live once , I’m here for it

[@harrysolliez8975]

Hey James, was wondering if you did any coaching? If not who would you recommend that’s relatively affordable for a youngin trying to build mass and get real serious. Much love man 💪

[@hollingshead89]

I don't currently but my good friend Nathaniel heckules who is @heckrules on IG does and he's fantastic

[@harrysolliez8975]

Sounds good thanks a lot man 💪

[@renewild9439]

Love you James but routine … and discipline to that routine works. You mentioned Ronnie C …. Look at his videos … 8 yrs same time wake up - same time eating n training - same time everything. Maybe that’s d reason you’re not reaching your best potential!

[@hollingshead89]

@renewild9439 when did we mention I'm nit systematic? That I don't eat the same time of day. Train the same time of day. Take gear same time of day. Sleep same time at night. Move the same amount daily. The point is this I CAN TELL YOU from being here my last Olympia qualification and Arnold 5th place was this head space and I'd argue my best looks on my career. IM HERE TO HELP YOU understand the importance of knowing when to be strict. Little flexible or even totally rest as I'm the one putting out the video sharing it with you. It's to help you get here not to help me. My videos are for you. I'm already somewhere I didn't think I'd be. I could be radio silent take my cheque and just live quietly but I personally choose to put this out so that you guys don't destroy your own heads in the process of it all. This is me being open to assist not open asking for your thoughts. Your thought don't really matter as my decisions have already been made my good friend. This is information to take in or ignore. Not a plee for assistance. I've already gone further than anticipated bud. I'll go further becusse I have intuitive nature. It's worked over and over again. Take a seat. Take this as me being the most honest one can be and I wish you the same or more success mate x

[@reverendterminator]

@@hollingshead89 God bless you brother!! You are doing great!

[@prometheandemise776]

Is the Ronnie Coleman event going to be uploaded to youtube? Also hell yeah get huge and destroy everyone in 2025

Congrats! ☮️

[@outere2044]

Would more mass beat a more ascetic physic am not sure

[@vladimirciric519]

You are Mr Olympia in the offseason and then you panic and overdiet during 12 weeks out and lose half your size. Step on that stage full-blown, keep the carbs in and stay full. Keep your size, bring it to the stage and you will blow them away. Relax Hollingshead don’t overthink it

[@SmokeDogg91]

Yea because you look awesome Vlad 😂😂😂
