People followed Luke religiously because we felt invested in his success and loved him as a person, it’s the same with your journey to the O man. Well deserved.
The online stream did James no justice at all, even though he still looked the winner with this much better quality footage you can see James has that next level of graininess to his physique that knocks everyone out.
Truth. With this video quality, it's hard to argue the final placings. It's like random TH-camrs watching low quality footage do not appreciate - visually and with regards to how to assess - the same things as pro judges get to see with their own eyes from a couple meters away 😏 - James' conditioning was crazy, the man even had veins popping in his lower back 😂
My god James you're really stepping the game up with this series! The production quality is as professional as anything i've seen. Fucking fantastic and congratulations on the win!
Coolest thing about most bodybuilder. They’re literally the chilliest, kindest dudes ever but they look like effing gladiators. Man James looks insane, cheers brother you earned this one!!
the stream made everything look a lot closer than it actually was. the conditioning James carried into the show with his size was insane. incredible work from James and his team. congratulations mate.
Wow the live stream did NOT do these guys justice, especially you James. You looked fucking bananas mate, wow. Congrats and let's fucking go to the O. We're all here to support you. 🥇💪
That “100% or nothing” tattoo could not be more true. You’ve put everything into this since the beginning of the year, not a stone was left unturned and it really showed. You looked absolutely incredible James. Top 10 at the Olympia here we come!!!
Love when Rafa slapped away James’ hand and went in for the hug after pre-judging. Especially right after BATTLING it out middle stage. Awesome moment for bodybuilding.
Been watching James compete since the junior days, went to watch him win his Pro card and now winning his first pro win.. most genuine and humble guy there is and Always appreciative of everyone that asked him for a picture. True legend ❤️🏆
Congrats champ. There's 2 people i really wanted to see make it to the Olympia this year and thats Antoine and you and you both did it. This years line up is gonna be amazing. It's nice to see the judges are getting with the ages and aren't penalizing guys for beards and tattoos for no reason. Good luck
Congrats James! This has been a fantastic video series. Loved seeing Patrick's insight from the last few videos coming to life in the flesh on stage for you. Roll on the Olympia.
James you looked awesome and you presented yourself brilliantly. You should be very proud of yourself. Best package by a distance and now you can make top ten in your rookie Olympia. Onwards and upwards Mr Hollingshead go and now do Britain proud.
The seconds they called out first place, I felt all your emotion! no one deserves that win more. Its unbelievable you have brought your title back to the uk. this will inspire the future uk Mr Olympias and boost english bodybuilding! CONGRATULATIONS to a humble legend
So happy for you James, you did yourself & Luke proud as well as the uk. One thing I noticed is how relaxed you were and happy on stage. You smashed it mate 💪🏻💪🏻
Congratulations on the win!! I wanted to thank you so much! Your beginner video series got me back into bodybuilding after 14 years of nothing because of an injury. I really hope you make more I in depth video like that in the future! Congratulations again, and keep winning!!
You deserve more subs man the quality is perfect and the content is what the industry needs thank you for the insight and congratulations on a title well earned!
2 years after this and I still keep my finger cross for James. One of the best front legs view in these days bodybuilding, and all muscle looks like they are made of stone.
Big James...! Congratulations brother...from talking to you back in the day at UKBFF shows & on social media, to then being around you training at MWO with Luke to following your journey on here to now seeing you take your first pro victory in unquestionable fashion...you’ve done EVERYONE proud. Through all the trials & tribulations you’ve battled through, you’ve created a legacy that stands to only grow in stature as time goes on. Now go f¥€king take scalps at the O...! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrap.!!!
Amazing work James, you and Patrick did incredible things this prep. Super excited to see what happens for you in the future! thank you for sharing everything about your journey with us! Congratulations on all of your success!
You brought an amazing package, James! This hd footage made everyone look significantly better than all the intial photos and video that came out immediately following the event! Congratulations on the win!
Side tricep, back double bicep and hands on hips most muscular killed it! Conditioning was insane and the posing tips really helped. So impressed and happy for you. Well done!!
Definitely a much better quality video of the show than the live stream. It's way easier to see how he won from this footage. Even the tan looked better in this video than the live stream. Congrats to James! Amazing job!!
Huge congratulations James, perfect role model. If anyone ever questioned the win needs to see the HD footage, James was way ahead, soo crispy, dry and dense. Congratulations again!
James you deserve all that’s coming your way!! Keep pushing stay hungry you already up there with the ranks of the best... RIP Luke, he’s smiling down on you....
I always come to Kings every few weeks, and never quite understood why you were not on the Olympia stage James. Honestly so rewarding to know that I was naive (and you really are that good!), and your quality has been shown to the world, no mistakes where made at this event and you delivered everything! Well done, buzzing to see you at the O, LETS GO.
Congratulations James wow 😳 I got chills watching it man brings me back to stage !!!! That was so so awesome thx you @redcon1 for doing this as well 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Class act. Well deserved win. I cant wait for the next video. My fav bodybuilder and just all around great person. Keep it up and keep the videos coming!
Watching James’ leadup to this show has been such a pleasure. James, you exude the qualities of a champion with everything you do, your approach, your stage presence, your sportsmanship. Your physique has transformed and clearly become top level, you embody what we all love about bodybuilding and you carry yourself with such class. Much love and respect, thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey
Bro that livestream didn't do you justice. This HD video shows just how incredible you looked. I can only imagine how you looked in person. Great job mate
So happy for you. Was defo between you and rafa at all stages, rafa has great shape very aesthetic but you can clearly see your density and size on some of the poses are superior seems like your muscles have more maturity, not in doubt you were defo #1 rafa will be a problem in the future for some names his shape is phenomenal
Hi James, again massive congrats on the win. You deserved this hands down after the massive amount of hard work and dedication you put in plus all the adversity which you where faced with and overcame. Such an inspiration mate!!!
Great video...sm never ending luke memories. James u r a true champ. Saw ur every post of prep. Just want to see your arms grow more and also lats. But overall a great package. Best of luck champ.
Congrats on the win mate, looking forward to seeing you at the Olympia. Just wanted to say this series in lead up to the show has been brilliant. Nice one!
18:02 that slap looked so damn funny I had to watch it a few more times :D . Congrats' James, well deserved, your condition was a few levels above everyone else's on that stage.
BIG CONGRATS James you definately earned that win. Couldnt help to get emotional with what you have been through this year. You should extremely proud. Now bring on the Olympia Stage 💪🏆🥇🙏💪

you took the words right out of my mouth dude, Amen.
100% agreed 😢
well said, and i agree wholeheartedly!
Couldn’t have said it better
The online stream did James no justice at all, even though he still looked the winner with this much better quality footage you can see James has that next level of graininess to his physique that knocks everyone out.
💯 totally agree. Absolute quality footage and possible top 10 Mr O in that condition 😷💪❤️
Truth. With this video quality, it's hard to argue the final placings. It's like random TH-camrs watching low quality footage do not appreciate - visually and with regards to how to assess - the same things as pro judges get to see with their own eyes from a couple meters away 😏 - James' conditioning was crazy, the man even had veins popping in his lower back 😂
Oh lord was the livestream so shitty. It made James midsection look awful
This camera angle you could see every striation in his lower back and everywhere else.
That's grown man muscle. In 5 years Regan will be cleanin up
So interesting seeing it in HD. Shows everyone off that much more, but also helps show what the judges saw. Looked amazing champ
Holy cow, these back shots destroyed everybody in these line up.
My god James you're really stepping the game up with this series! The production quality is as professional as anything i've seen. Fucking fantastic and congratulations on the win!
Couldn't agree more! I have been addicted
Coolest thing about most bodybuilder. They’re literally the chilliest, kindest dudes ever but they look like effing gladiators. Man James looks insane, cheers brother you earned this one!!
Because they don't feel pressured to prove their masculinity.
Their inner strength is displayed on their outer physique.
@@samson3523 yes very true. Plus I think they let out a lot of anger at the gym.
@@chrisucl that too haha!
@@samson3523 this
the stream made everything look a lot closer than it actually was. the conditioning James carried into the show with his size was insane. incredible work from James and his team. congratulations mate.

Wow the live stream did NOT do these guys justice, especially you James. You looked fucking bananas mate, wow. Congrats and let's fucking go to the O. We're all here to support you. 🥇💪

Over 4 years later and I still come back and watch this. The energy at this show was just incredible.
We knew you were going to win mate! It was destiny at this point.
Love when Rafa slapped away James’ hand and went in for the hug after pre-judging. Especially right after BATTLING it out middle stage. Awesome moment for bodybuilding.
