In this AMA, James Hollingshead is back at the Arnold Classic 2025, stepping on stage for his second appearance after a strong top-five finish last year. In this sit-down, James shares his mindset, preparation, and expectations heading into the big show. From working with his coach Stefan in person for the first time to refining his physique with a smarter, more balanced approach, James gives an inside look at his journey, adjustments, and confidence going into Columbus.
He also reflects on competing alongside three Mr. Olympias—Brandon Curry, Samson Dauda, and Derek Lunsford—as well as rising stars like Carlos Thomas Jr. With a fresh perspective and a renewed belief in himself, James is focused on bringing his best and proving that he belongs among the sport’s elite.
