American IFBB Pro bodybuilder Dennis James "The Menace"

Dennis James was born in 1966 in Heidelberg, Germany. He started training in bodybuilding when he was 18yo.

Dennis James won the International South German Championship in 1985, the International German Grand Prix in 1986, and the New York State Championship (All Junior Category) the same year. 
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. 
The first National Physique Committee (NPC) competition of Dennis was the NPC Junior USA of 1996, where he placed 13th. In 1999, he made his Pro debut and competed in his first Night of Champions, where he accomplished the 14th place and his first Mr. Olympia was in 2000. He has competed in a total of 7 times on Mr. Olympia stage, with his highest placing coming in 4th in 2003.  
He announced the end of his career in 2012.
Dennis James has been featured in many fitness and bodybuilding articles, including the cover of FLEX Magazine. He currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

He is a Legend of bodybuilding history and he deserves a great dedication from us!
