James Hollingshead sidelined by Covid-19.

James Hollingshead has announced on his official Instagram page that he has unfortunately contracted the Covid-19 virus.

This has come to a shock for the bodybuilding world as James has been hit with the virus midway during his Mr. Olympia prep.

James was in a somber mood but at the same time promised that he will continue fighting to be at his best for the 2021 Mr. Olympia.

“Covid got me chaps,
Sorry I’ve been quiet,
We live in a time where not much is personal and I wanted some time to digest the situation.
As a bodybuilder with a very fortunate support network I feel it right to let people know the current situation.
So yeah there it is been out of action for a while but hey it is what it is and there is not a lot one can do except ride this shit out.
I’ll be staying isolated until I get a string of negative tests.
I honestly don’t think this will have too much an effect on my efforts this year besides the obvious week + of no training.
For now I’m just gonna focus on the days ahead and once I’m ready to get back it I will
Cheers guys.” – James Hollingshead.


In regards to his Olympia prep, until now, James has only taken one week off from training.

James thanked his family and his close friends that are supporting him through this difficult moment.

Evolutionofbodybuilding.net would like to wish James a speedy recovery and we are sure he will be at his best on the 2021 Mr. Olympia stage.
