How is James Taking it?

As per James’ post on Instagram after the Olympia, he is getting a lot of kind messages from fans but here’s what he got to say.

That is his personal message to his fans.

Redcon also posted a short video of James speaking up about what happened to him in Olympia.

I’m back in the gym training coz of the result. That result is everything U need in order to be better for next time. If that result wasn’t the case or if I didn’t accept the result and tried to blame other factors and not take the blame myself, then there’d be no fucking point being a bodybuilder because I’m in control and I know I got it wrong.
