Dennis James Steroid Cycle (2022 Updates)

Intro

Dennis James is one of the most well rounded professional bodybuilders thanks to his unique background of having an American father in the military overseas and a German mother. Being from Germany, you can tell he has an interesting accent when you listen to him speak on his podcasts.

His stats during the mid-2000s when he was in peak form was 5'8'' and 260 pounds. Today he is in his 50's and spends a lot of time involved in bodybuilding since he enjoys it so much. Check out this article where we dive deep into his career and steroid use.

How he got into bodybuilding

James admits he is blessed with great genetics because his father was also a tremendous athlete and he encouraged his son to play football and other sports.

James got an early start to serious bodybuilding at around 17 years old and fell in love with it. He was still a teenager when he won the South German Championship and the next year won the German Grand Prix. What was amazing was he only trained for a little more than a year and was already beating his peers who had years of experience. At 20 years old, he won the New York State Championship All Juniors. Since he was not a German citizen he could not join the German Nationals so he stopped training.

In 1990, he went to Thailand to enjoy the beaches and his friends teased him about his belly fat which inspired him to get back into shape. He made a bet with them that he would change his physique in just 6 weeks and he ended up easily winning the bet. After that, he was hooked again on training and set his sights on competing but the gyms in that part of the world were not the best.

James was able to avoid going through a complicated qualification process to get in a major competition by gaining an invitation from one of the organizers, he ended up getting 4th place at the Night of Champions in 1993. Later that year he returned to Thailand and opened up his own gym and named it "Universe" because he wanted to win that competition. The next year his dream came true as he took 1st place at the 1995 NABBA Mr. Universe and got his pro card. This meant endorsement opportunities where he could make more money.

Professional career

After winning the NPC USA Championships in 1998, James became a regular in competitions during the 2000s competing in at least 33 major competitions and placing in the top 10 in almost all of them.

In 2000, he was 4th at the Arnold Classic and top 3 at both the England and Hungary Grand Prix. At the Mr. Olympia that year he finished a respectable 11th place.

The next year in 2001 he won the Grand Prix Hungary and improved to 7th place at Mr. Olympia.

In 2002 he fell back at Mr. Olympia to 10th, but then improved to 4th in 2003 which was his best Mr. Olympia showing.

At the 2004 Mr. Olympia he was 8th, then 6th in 2005, 9th in 2006, and 11th in 2010.

He won the 2009 IFBB Tampa Pro and 2009 Europa Super Show.

Views on bodybuilding

James believes bodybuilding is a form of exercise and it is a way to redeem yourself from life's indulgences and feel great. He also believes it makes you feel and look younger and that there is no age limit to get into it, unlike other sports.
When it comes to competitions James is a serious fan and commentator, whom a lot of people respect. He has talked about who he felt deserved to win competitions, and also talked about how some bodybuilders are treated unfairly.

Social media

James has 1.3M followers on Instagram. He also has many videos on Youtube where he conducts interviews as mentioned earlier in the article. He is well respected and loved by most bodybuilders.

Get to know him

James has done many interviews, and some have been light-hearted to get to know him at a personal level. His openness is part of his personality which makes him unique to many other bodybuilders who are more anti-social and guarded to talk much.

• *He gets motivation from watching bodybuilding videos online and being pushed by workout partners
• *He wants to get even more involved in bodybuilding as much as possible and steer it in the right direction
• *He values honesty in other people and finds himself too honest which rubs people the wrong way sometimes
• *To unwind he likes to relax at home or on a quiet island
• *His favorite style of music is rap, soul, and blues
• *His favorite cheat meal is tuxedo cheesecake
• *He loves Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Tucker movies
• *He hates when people are not punctual
• *His favorite person in the world is his daughter
• *If he wasn't bodybuilding he would have been a professional soccer (futbol) player

Opinion

Whether you agree or disagree with James you have to respect his love for bodybuilding, because many hate the sport strongly, even former bodybuilders. I think it is very cool how much he is an ambassador and enjoys interviewing some of the biggest names in the industry. I also love how he isn't afraid to give his opinion on who he thinks should have placed where in each competition. We need more people like that who can bring entertainment to bodybuilding if we are to grow the sport.

Steroid use

James believes that steroids are overrated in terms of what they can do to a bodybuilder and also how dangerous they are. He strongly believes that steroids are not to blame necessarily for the deaths of athletes in bodybuilding.

We can speculate on what his steroid cycle may have looked like when he was in peak form in 2004:
