James Llewellin – The Awakening

After a year off competitive bodybuilding, James Llewellin took the first step towards his Pro stage Debut.  Unknown to himself and the people around him, this would prove to be his biggest challenge yet.

This is a story not only about one man’s quest towards the Olympia stage, but also a personal journey that defined his very existence.  For James, failure was not an option, and against all odds, he proved that just because you are down it doesn’t mean that there is no way back up.
