Since Luke has left the world James has become my favorite bodybuilder, both personality and monster in the gym. Thanks man, hope to see more videos soon
The SHED. I really fuck with you man. You have a no bullshit explanation for stuff and I appreciate that in a time where everyone has a SPECIAL method for everything
I wore shorts to the gym today my buddy said “damn dude your legs are pale” and I told him “yea man I have that James hollingshead complexion, don’t worry about it” lol 😂
You are a legend James, the podcasts with Ben and Fouad and your vids have been a lifesaver during lockdown when working out has been the main way to keep me sane! Keep up the excellent work, the honesty, and the openness.
You've been a huge inspiration for me James and I'm making better progress than ever before in my life these past few months. All thanks to videos like yours and Fouad. Thank you so much man! It's fun waking up every day knowing this is the strongest day of my life
These vids are awesome. Genuine answers, no BS, informative and straight to the point. Ps: Came here from the best bodybuilding podcast in the world, yep,talking about "Bodybuilding&bollocks"
Q. for James: If you do not plan to compete for 2+ years, but need to cut fat due to getting too sloppy would you cut quickly (to start the building process faster) or slowly? Thoughts? (If it was a prep obviously it would be slowly) P.S. Thank you for the Q&As, podcast appearances, and just being you - its been incredible to feel alongside for the adventure and growth
Mate, the Q&As you've done are really great. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more content like this in addition to Lifting and Life videos. I'm just getting into your channel after catching you on Fouad's shows and I positively love what you're putting out there; I also really appreciate the production quality. Maybe this isn't a question that's super easy for you to answer in this format, but I'd be keen to hear you break down how you implement and feel benefited by the SST training you've been doing since you started up with Patrick.
Love these sit down and talk just straight truths, can you answer this next time? Is forearm training needed? I’ve never isolated them but are they worth training as it can effect grip on other days?
If you think your forearms need work just use fatgrips. Got way to mix up your workouts too. Personally I think forearms get cooked more then enough in other workouts but as old mate above me mentioned everyone is different. All these videos are some nice to knows but end of the day get to know yourself and your body and do what you think you need.
Defo worth training. If its strong forearms your after, enough to crush a hedgehog, then go straight to the arm wrestlers they got it dialed ruclips.net/video/HyND8v4-wVc/видео.html
Good advice on the calves James, my calves were trash but I started working them 2-3 times per week heavy and what do you know, they grew fairly large. I think people just dont give the calf raise variations the same respect they give bench press and curls.
Hallo James, thanks for your time and answers our questions. My question is, your Coach spoke in an German interview about working with slin, what do you think about using slin (no doseges, risk ect) can it be helpful to increase muscle or is slin the most overrated gear ever? Thanks a lot, greatest from Germany 👍
starting working out and these videos are really helpful. no bullocks on the side. everything is easy to understand. hope your channel keeps on growing
Thanks for previous reply.... I'm a HGV driver, working 10-12 Hours a night, with no fridge, no microwave.... and little access to toilets. I want to eat better during my shifts, maybe 2 small meals. Given my predicament what would you recommend as a meal that can be eaten cold, and won't go bad if not in a fridge? Trying to stay away from sandwiches! Cheers and thanks again!
In case you do another one of these, here's a question perhaps for the more advanced people - carb cycling in the off-season, is it needed to maintain good insulin sensitivity?
Have you got any advice for someone wanting to start natty bodybuilding over 30? Is it still achievable to put on serious size? Would the recovery differ?
My BIGGEST challenge is eating the amount of calories/day. I don’t know how to force feed myself to that amount. I just have to eat when I don’t want to.
Hello! I'm a big fan of yours! I need a little help! I've been using testosterone for for 2 years ... I want a full post cycle therapy. hcg clomid nolvadex what dose for how many days etc ??
Calves need to be trained EVERYDAY!! If you have never trained them ever, then start out every other day or you will be sore as fuck! I started training every day and saw CRAZY results! I now see the shape everything! I train them 3-4x week
I’m a truck driver so I have pretty strict deadlines so it’s hard for me to stop and eat as much as I need to to put on mass. As long as I am getting all my food in and I can stomach it, can I make 6 meals into 4? Will the nutrients still be processed the same way? Thanks in advance!
@@faith4freedom76 I am fortunate enough to have a dedicated route, but it can still be inconsistent at times. It is definitely hard but I found a gym that has multiple 24 hour locations. I have to have multiple different memberships to make it work though. I pack all of my meals for the week in my YETI and throw it in my rig. I didn’t have much choice in the matter, if I’m not active and taking care of my body, my mental health suffers. I think a lot of men can relate, or a lot of men suffering from similar issues that don’t train, should. Humans have been active creatures since we came about. Sorry for going off on that tangent, but yeah, trucking and training don’t usually go hand in hand, but they can if you want them to and are willing to work and sacrifice.
Great info man, I have my cdl and was thinking of hitting the road for a few months or a year or two. I was wondering how you made it work. Seems legit bro. Keep pushing and good luck!!
Love it bro! I have to ask because seriously your calves remind me of Luke's. Those beasts have to be over 20 inches right? Your arms look 23s James. You're going to kill the competition!
Idk how Bbers can do that. I measure arms every week. But yeah that's how you know you are comfortable with your measurements. 21 inch calves 23 inch arms. Calling it. You're a beast brotha! Blessings.
I have a condition I was born with called raidal club arm syndrome. My right hand was underdeveloped when I was born. This brings many complicatiions with training. I am able to build muscle effectively on my left side but I am still trying.to effectively engage certain muscles on my right side. How would you approach this? Any tips or advice you can give me?
Hi James, I'm not an advanced guy. Can I get pretty much the maximum training effect out of a barbell setup + ez curl bar at home? No machines, no dumbbells.
If I don’t have that much muscle but a high body fat percentage, should I start with trying to gain muscle or lose fat first? Is it just my preference?
Thanks James, have you ever had any experience with exertion headaches? On a couple of sets of heavy leg press or squats it has felt like I’ve been shot in the back of my head and it wipes me out for a couple of weeks
How much have you changed since changing from Chris to Patrick I personally love Patrick Sst but I'd like the hear on how much you have progress with Patrick so far. Best Tony3D
I've never ever read a book start to finish. I think im not someone who is very good at the uptake of information via text I have never been able to get absorbed into pages. So I chose other ways to learn that I can adhere too. I think books are great if you can. Most of what I've learnt is through discussion with some great people first hand
Ok, how about your workout routine, what I mean about that is like when do the pyramid method every week, but still change the variation of your exercise. Or you the pyramid method one week, then do the isolation method the next week, or less weight and do more reps method week after, and etc.
Sorry if im a nuisance. But there like different methods out there that people can can use for their workout out, as a professional bodybuilder I just want get you opinion how you would you use them in your workout routine.

Thanks for previous reply.... I'm a HGV driver, working 10-12 Hours a night, with no fridge, no microwave.... and little access to toilets. I want to eat better during my shifts, maybe 2 small meals. Given my predicament what would you recommend as a meal that can be eaten cold, and won't go bad if not in a fridge? Trying to stay away from sandwiches! Cheers and thanks again!
Just buy a cooling box, you put your meals and an ice pack in it and you're good for 10-12 hrs.
Love it James 🔥🔥
In case you do another one of these, here's a question perhaps for the more advanced people - carb cycling in the off-season, is it needed to maintain good insulin sensitivity?
These videos are awesome 💪🏻💪🏻
Great video again to remind us of the basics. Look forward to seeing more if your doing them along with the podcasts, definitely a top guy #theshed

Sure thing my man. 4 would be OK 👌
How do you incorporate training with that type of job?

Hugely informative, digestible and comprehensive. Thanks man!!!
What a top class lad!
can anyone explain what intensity sets are? same as cluster sets?
Many types. Cluster, rest pause, drop sets.. etc
WOW!!!!!!! What a Body!
Hi can you talk more about insulin sensitivity any useful tips on this? Thanks
How much have you changed since changing from Chris to Patrick I personally love Patrick Sst but I'd like the hear on how much you have progress with Patrick so far. Best Tony3D
Thanks james my second video and ypu are honest snf straight to the point woth honest answers. Keep it up.
I have a question, what kind of books you read during your journey of bodybuilding. An books do you recommend for beginners.
I've never ever read a book start to finish. I think im not someone who is very good at the uptake of information via text
