Bodybuilder #4 : Dennis James

James was born in Heidelberg on May 31, 1969, the son of an African-American GI stationed in Heidelberg and a German woman. He started training in bodybuilding when he was 26. Although, other sources say he started training at 18 years old.

James won the International South German Championship in 1985, the International German Grand Prix in 1986, and the 1986 New York State Championship All Junior Category. 

He stopped training because he was not eligible to join the German Nationals since he did not hold German citizenship but made a comeback in 1990 after he left Germany.


Bodybuilder #5 : Phillip Heath

This guy has won the Mr Olympia competition seven times in a row. So we can easily see, just from that, he belongs on our list. He played basketball in high school to an average standard, but it was this sport playing that got him interested in general fitness. He entered bodybuilding in 2002. He had a rocky start to completing in the Mr Olympia competitions, coming 5th, 2nd and then missing one due to a stomach virus.

But his run started shortly after this in 2011, every year since then up until 2017 he has won the Mr Olympia title, which takes a massive amount of skill that must be praised. His current places him in a tie with Arnold Schwarzenegger just behind Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman.
