This guy is refreshing for the BB industry, he isn’t full of himself or arrogant he’s very down to earth, nice guy 🙏
Thank you mate
I couldn't agree with you more on this, watched the bb&b podcasts and he is definitely one of the most genuine and humble guys
Seriously, dont know why he doesn't have more followers, guys a beast, fouad and Luke introduced me to him
James is the man! Good content!
British people ain’t full of it like the yanks
Great to see another pro bodybuilder who does not promote bulking and over eating to build muscle. Small changes are all that’s needed. Small increases if not eating enough and small decreases to lose weight. Good job. Way too many people think u need to force feed and eat big to get big. 👍
Here i was thinking i should share this vid and try to get you to see it. He deserves attention. Good solid info
Doctor Bitch^
that ideology started due to the entire protein synthesis/steroid cycling "method" where you will make more gains if you constantly eat and get in 2-3 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
Well it’s not a given actually and depends on the person. I would say more than halve of the people lifting need to eat way more to grow. They kicking the walls why they arent growing. It’s usually because they don’t eat enough
Storm-Traders Or eating the right things 😀
1. Training Frequency and rest 1:50
2. Nutrition (water intake, how much to eat & what to eat, keep a food diary) 3:24-15:54
3. Training (more in depth) 16:04
4. Supplements 20:13
Thank you 🙌🏿
Hero
Nice one. Thank you
Thank you so much ❤️
My man!
It's like a mate explaining it all to you down the pub. So refreshing he seems like such a nice guy.
Been training over 5 years and just spent 20 minutes learning more here watching this video than ever before top man 👍👊
That means alot Paul im grateful and happy that you have

Paul Kingsland hows the grow season coming along?

@@hollingshead89 if your beard ever needs a resting place…
love the frank honesty of this video
Heres a novel thing...."before you jump on the gear----try this for a year".....great advice James....best thing ive seen this year by a mile
great sentence, cant wait to see what he means by "this" as I continue to watch this.
@@citycat2729 it's obvious what he means
great advice indeed! I'd say try this for at least 5 years first but that's just me...
Great statement

James is becoming one of my favorite pros. His videos are some of the most informative yet easy to understand. He is a freak of nature yet he still seems like a humble man. I'm looking forward to following him throughout his career and hope to one day see him be crowned the new king on the Olympia stage.
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile?????? Make some extra money and save lives???
Finally......someone that actually sat down and helped explain this whole lifestyle..........Thank you James for taking the time to do this.
Big part of the lifestyle not spoken about though
@@r3b22ber3
What part do you think he is not speaking about....???

The first 2 minutes gets right down to the base of what is required. You can't be stressed out, eating garbage, and lifting every day and actually progress in gains.

Oh yes!
True beginner here and I learned more from this one video than I have from months of videos. Thank you for simplifying things instead of talking to noobs like they know what all these insider terms mean.
Now this is how we help one another.
Thank you so much brother.

James-I absolutely loved this video! I am a Registered Dietitian here in the US and I do a lot of 1 on 1 nutrition counseling and I literally couldn’t have said much of this better than that if I wanted to. This keep it simple-‘do a lot of non stupid’ things approach would benefit so many people regardless of circumstance. Good job
Best video on UA-cam about #bodybuildingbasics. No BS, No fancy science, just simple and basic.
Keeping making more #bodybuildingbasics videos.
THANK YOU man. Love & Support.

Can’t believe anyone would thumbs down this video , it’s great information , straight to the point. Information without bias , information that can be implemented immediately. Thanks mate !
James… A MASSIVE thank you, mate. Truly. You just got bumped to the top of my favorite BB list. Not only for the incredible physique you’ve crafted, but the man you are, how you carry yourself, and the desire to teach and share our decades of humble learning, trial & error, such as I do. It is our life’s work. And the passion & caring shows. 🙏🏼👊🏼🏆
Very kind thnak you. Extremely happy
What a pleasant presentation. He shows the knowledge, patience and willingness to mentor that every beginner needs. Wish I had someone like that when I started.
I was fairly fit guy for most of my adult life, but recent times completely let myself go, this vid is a great reminder of what really matters when I'm about to start get back to it, as opposed to so much conflicting and convoluted information over the internet.

8 minutes in, and I realize you are one of the gems we have in fitness. Genuine, articulate, pragmatic; intelligent.
Thank you for JH
Started my body building journey a few weeks ago. Finding this video is like finding gold. Thanks for the advice🤙💯
$Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????
Really appreciate the emphasis you put on nutrition. it often seems to be the "unglamorous" par of bodybuilding that gets skipped over.
Honestly, this is great info for beginning lifting in general (powerlifting, strongman, etc ...) and not just for bodybuilding.
.Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????
I've been working out on and off for 46 years, this advice is brilliant and spot on.
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????/
James, having just watched this and also listened recently to BBB where you talked openly about essentially mental health and talking when you feel down I feel like your giving so much back to the body building community. Thank you man.
Agreed. That was big for him to open up about and I think a lot of people relate to it. Glad to see people open up like that

1 of the best informative videos I've seen......💪
Been training for almost 6 years now, 3 years of pure hypertrophy bodybuilding training...took me 5 years to learn everything he said in one vid...well...we live and we learn..at least my nutrition was decent from the beginning but wasnt eating enough(learnd that the hard way as well). For young dudes that just started training this is absolute gold. For us dudes that have been training for a couple of years this validates the principles that we now base our training and nutrition upon. Glad i found this channel. Smart guy, a pleasure to listen to, humble and genuine. Gonna keep following daily and support. This is what the bodybuilding univers needs.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No bs, facts. Thank you. Very informative.
My friend thank you
this it s the info that took me two years to research and ask peaople, in one 20 min video, respect
Outstanding!! Thank you so much for the information! I'm 60 years old and I will be taking all this to heart. I've been lifting for 45 years and never heard it explained this way. Thank you Sir !!
Amazing info. I love how you emphasized rest. I found out after a few years myself how well I grew when my rest was adequate. Literally like night and day. I blew right up.
Thanks James for the no BS video
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????????
You have no idea how much this video has helped me! Thank you.
This is what we all needed years ago, simple basics that we can all follow with no excuses, spent years watching so many vids with so many differnt opinions etc but this all just makes so much sense in such an easy way. James, I speak for everyone when I say we really appreciate your time that you give to us to help us out, just because you can. Legend

The information you've given out to others is golden. It's better to hear info from experienced people, thank you!
My understanding is that salt intake help retain fluids in the system. Sweating makes you lose a lot of essential minerals which needs replacing. One of them being salt.
Certainly mate
First time watching your videos... I find that you're really easy to listen to. I could listen to you for hours. Plus you've got Greg's stamp of approval! Keep the good work!
Great video! Love how you simplify and break it all down . Just subscribed 👍🏼 !
My man!
Awesome info! Awesome on podcast even better here. Like the straight shooting no BS info. Cheers James!!
This guy knows what he's talking about. 100% truth here.
Expt he does not mention what geat he is on. The only thing that really keeps him big
What a productive video !
More of that !
Intensity vs volume
Sir. I've been lifting for 10 years on and off but since December I've really been devoting myself to it 110% and I've been putting serious thought and energy into my nutrition to help me achieve the goal I've set. Thank you for putting these EXTREMELY helpful videos out for young aspiring bodybuilders like me. You're the man !!
You look like your doing super well! How did you get started I don’t know where to begin at all
The best thing to do is is be consistent in all honesty. Even if you don't feel up to working out just do something small but always do something, and focus on your diet.

Amazing video. There is a wealth of information out there, but this guy put out all the answers simply and clearly and not skipping all over the place. Really great video.

Very informative and bang on with your advice.
James thank you for the content. I really enjoy watching your stuff from UA-cam to ig. You remind me of Evan in the sense of being humble and a decent human.
And you have morphed into a monster
Thank you. I've learnt alot from Evan over the years. One of the best people
Nice, its refreshing to here someone down to earth and inspiring w a realistic view on things and setting a realistic basic fundamental mindset.
I never comment on videos, but this was absolutely class. Thank you!
There's some great advice. Simple and easy to understand.
I enjoyed listening to this because it just sounded smart and helpful, THIS IS HOW YOU TEACH PEOPLE ABOUT SOMETHING

I've been training since.. 17, now about to hit 23. About 5 years in. I started ( luckily ) with free-weights, pullups, deadlifts, squats etc. Mistake I made was at the time I was focusing on powerlifting per say for the first year rather than go seperate body parts. At that time.. I was squatting and lifting more heavy than I did recently but caused to injury my right shoulder and knees, But they're not permanently fucked. Chiropracticy will help it and being without a gym for half a year now helped in recovery.
Here I thought I knew about my nutritions. Fuck all. Cheers man for bringing something new to me. I'll definetly keep your advise to heart. Thank you brother!

Wonderful video. Straightforward, clear and sincere. Big thumbs up to the big man!
Of all the videos I have watched and things I have read trying to learn the simplest way to break things down pertaining to body building, this guy has put it together in the most digestible and articulate way imaginable. Great job.
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????.
Smart bodybuilder! Awesome advices, very valuable for beginners.
Great talk! I just healed up after a surgery and back to working out. Good pointers for starting back up, nutritionally and physically.
I noticed that sugar wasn't mentioned in the nutritional part of the talk. Would love to hear body builder perspectives on sugar that's in most people's diets these days in a later video! Or even all the extra synthetic ingredients in food these days, how it affects the body builder journey.
Cool channel here. I'll be listening in more 👍
Bro im so happy I found your page. youre so well spoken and explain things in a way that is simple and makes sense. subscribed!

This was sooooo great to hear someone break down the basics without frills and in plain language. Great content man.
Ok.
“But I thought I could just up the dose?!?! “
Great video. Keeping it simple has always been the key for me over the years.
I appreciate your clear and in-depth explanations. Really easy to follow along, thank you. I'm a healthcare professional and your brief descriptions of the physiology are accurate. Great video!

I think a video on how to setup training e.g. exercise selection, different rotations, etc.
Jordan Peters offers a lot of information on his site
A perfect guide for beginners and very useful information. Thanks for sharing it.

Very nice presentation. Very articulate and straight to the point.
Ohhh he's British.. Nice 👏🏼don't see many and he's proper down to earth.. Most info i ever received in one video and he sounds just like one of my mates
I normally wouldn't spend that much time on a video but this one was worth it.
Thank you
James thank you for providing consistent 'real talk' in an industry overrun with too much fluff. Keep up the great work brother!!

I have been really getting into working out, no other video has been more important. This gentlemen broke it down perfectly, straight to the point.
Finally, you're on youtube!
James Hollingshead= A well spoken, smart, savage of a bodybuilder
This was really useful, was definitely overthinking things till I watched this, cheers.

Thanks. I needed to hear a lot of this information. Similar to others , i feel its refreshing to listen to someone down to earth.
This video really made me realise I'm still a novice, thanks for the essential but often forgotten tips brother 💪👏

What a series brother! Watched these in reverse order today. Tyty!
Haha my man thank you
i do legs push pull rest!!! i ,ve been doing it for a while now and is definatley the split that works best for me
I did ppl my first year. On a 10x10.
Ugh....I don't miss those days. Lol.
That first year is rough.
thanks, James, I am a 308 lb guy out of shape and weak, i have set a goal to be an amateur body builder to feel better about myself. I've been working out since Monday it is Thursday now, I am down 11 lbs. I will take your advice and document it.
Jack Smith love to see you have started on your journey bro! I came from around the same weight and now down to 220 and lean! If you ever need some help hit me up!
Keep going you’ll get there stay consistent brother
This Gentleman Come Across Quite
Well ! " He's Been There & Done That,
Very Informative " . Many Thanks !!!
Thank you sir
@@hollingshead89 Your Welcome ! I Love All The Valuable
Information !!!
Ya thanks for understanding a lot of us are not already mass monsters. Fist video of yours I’ve seen , but not the last . I’ve smashed the subscription already.
Holy shit I wasn’t making progress and I switched to 3 days a week (full body) and I couldn’t believe the immediate results. Tried it out on my own and hearing this is reassuring
Best video about training i have ever watched..
This is the kind of help I wish I could have had.
Brilliant man - making things accessible and easy to understand. The English Kratos!!!!
One of the VERY BEST TRUE Informative video on the NET, all beginners need this as the AIR they breath. Thank you a lot, watching you ever since. Regards and best of luck always.
20 seconds in, subbed for the moustache alone. Respect your knowledge and thank you for your tips man.
Tash is extremely grateful 🙏
I’m interested in fat loss with weight training. How to know on the right track with calories and what to do when weight stalls. And how a fat loss phase differs from a growth phase. Love your videos!
Great video James. Mate great your getting some exposure. You’re gaining momentum nicely the frame and persona of yourself honest and refreshing. I’m 33 the younger generation are lucky to have guys transparent and honest these days. Wishing u best of luck 💪🏻
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????s
Well, that Kratos video led me here and I'm just a month into my physical journey so this is perfect. Loved the video lad. Can't wait to watch more.
Between a date with a 10/10 or spend a day training with James having advices, I would definitely chose the day with James! Nice from you to sum up the basics. Cheers.
What about a threesome with 10/10 girls, now that's a tough call
@@bruceybrew haha! You got me dude 🙈
Thank you for your time it's nice for someone in your profession actually talk about or want to help newer people understand. Most guys of size at the gym act like its a taboo to answer questions or help with any information. And starting out it kind of pushes you away from it specially if your not sure how to go about it. We all understand it's hard work but still no one has to be a dick. So thank you sir for being a humble and accomplished inspiration for the sport.
Have you heard of donating micro-organisms for people who have C. diff Clostridioides difficile??????^^^^
Great discussion James about the expectations and requirements of a person getting into bodybuilding... This is something I wanted you to do and I suggested it before and hope you continue this as an ongoing series... Really helps those who have been working out for years correct things they are not aware may be hindering them as well as gives the NEWBIE a platform to learn from an experienced athlete and even have their questions answered.
Discussion could have even been expanded even more into bodybuilding for the beginners... be the beginner a young person (teenager) or an adult new to training .
Many are too gung ho when they arrive at the gym... yes it can be exciting knowing you're moving toward your goals, even if you are just signing up for the first time..... but here is where a person has to have a PLAN early on to achieve that goal a step at a time. ... I wish now I had a plan and goal as I only wanted to lift weights and look like the bodybuilders I admired and saw in magazines... that thinking came with injuries, tendinitis, exhaustion, slowed/no growth etc... Oh No!!
As you mentioned James, no need to start shoveling food down their throats as the Pro Bodybuilders do, but instead they should just start out eating better, as we know teenagers and early 20 yr olds consume too much unhealthy food, so switching to food more nutritionally balanced for a healthy & bodybuilding life style is likely all that is needed until their progress warrants more.
The same for the adult, shift away from "meals on the run (that are nutritionally deficient)" to solid meals that satisfy/satiate and supply Macro and Micro nutrients.
I remember my first time in the gym having NO CLUE WHAT I WAS DOING, so having some sort of a program to follow and a progress chart/notebook would/will be a great way to make sure the new "gym rat" is doing enough and not too much of each exercise for each body part. The charts also help in keeping a new person from being overwhelmed in the gym from the many machines/weights and forgetting exactly what they are in the gym to do... Went in to do arms and soon found themselves doing arms, legs, chest and just about everything else lol.... Focus on a muscle group and stick to it.
What should a person expect during that first year of training???... Not a lot as your body has to adjust to the new stress, weight training, diet/food/nutrition, metabolism etc... I will say get ready to deal with SORENESS above all things....Ha Ha HaHa...Don't let it deter you. It's a good sign though..
Your body is marvelously EFFICIENT as James said, so it won't be until it realizes the efficiency level it is working at is NOT ENOUGH to handle the intensifying weight training it is having to endure multiple times per week, so it increases muscle mass and cardiovascular strength to adjust, until that becomes insufficient... and more mass/strength/cardio is increased again and again until you reach your desired goal...
Definitely keep this going James... Maybe you can in time expound on dealing with:
- INJURIES (How to deal with them, latest medical interventions for serious matters)
- STRETCHING (its point, purpose, stretching routine, importance in bodybuilding/ers etc)
- NUTRITION EATING (Eating for bodybuilding VS Normal eating, Nutrients effect on body/bodybuilding/Vitamin Mineral deficiency and effects)
- SLEEPING REQUIREMENTS (hours per night and per day, Circadian Rhythms, Hormonal creation/secretion during night sleep, CPAP, Insomnia etc)
- SOCIALIZING/VACATIONS (How being a top tier bodybuilder effects socialization, travel, taking vacations)
- REST (Breaks that are REQUIRED in bodybuilding, reasons, recovery etc)
_ ENDOCRINE SYSTEM (how it works, its importance in bodybuilding, recovery, hormone production, how to keep it in top form etc)
- CLOTHING ( The dreaded " CAN'T FIND MY SIZE- NOTHING FITS syndrome)
- GENETICS ( What do you do when you realize you genetically are NOT gifted to be a pro bodybuilder? Do you stop? Continue regardless?)
Just some suggestions James for topics

Astounding gentleman who is dedicated to his very difficult craft.Many athletes have to work at other,sometimes very physical ,jobs and are disheartened at their progress due to massive time constraints.Nice to see a bit of honesty in this regard.
