dude, lets face it...ur scared....u run away from every show..in the past 2 years you have competed in 2 shows....do u make enough money..
be a man and jump in the arnold classic..
-
he makes alot of money wiith animal so whats the point in risking his health more then he should?
-
He`s probably trying to make changes in his physique so that he`ll be more competitive.....I highly doubt that he`d be scared.
::)
-
lol he just doesnt feel he needs to compete too often. and hes obviously correct, since the big gaps have allowed him to make vast improvements and now be a top 10 bodybuilder on the planet.
-
jump into the arnold classic...why u scared...ur gonna make money no matter what...and youll prob be profiting..
if hes not doing the arnold, hes not doin the ny pro
meaning hes not jumpin into somethign until late in the season...
meaning he prob wont do the olympia beacause hes "not ready" yet again...
another year and a half out...

The truth is he doesn't like to compete. Then again I don't blame him. He is content collecting a check from Universal and doing the bare minimum in return (appearences, singings, guest-posings etc...)
Evan is the anti-thesis of bodybuilders. He'd much rather stay off of the radar and live on a deserted island than be in the limelight and be heavily involved in the sub-culture.
Can't hate a dude for that but, Yes. As a professional bodybuilder he should either compete more often or find a new 'career'.

as long as he has contracts that don't require him to compete more often he won't
the newer generation isn't about competition, it's all about the money

He recently explained his rationale in an interview and it made perfect sense. If you think you can do better, why don't you show him how it's done. ::)

Seems you got plane tickets, hotel tickets and Arnold tickets, just in hopes to see Evan in his speedos, and now that he doesn't want to do it your bent about that aren't you MR. schmoe

" I dunno, homes... I dunno bout' dis new generation..."
Precisely. Evan was offered a contract for about 25% more than what he is making with Universal but he turned it down because it required him to be seen more and compete.
Let's leave lil' Evan alone. He isn't the bodybuilder that we expect. He sort of fell into this stuff and isn't exactly into the lifestyle as much as he is say... fair faced health care workers in Illinois.

Perhaps he's taking the time to make changes the right way, so he doesent look like a bloated pieces of shit with a huge stomach. Rushing anything in life always creates added problems.

The truth comes out. Jealous as the day is long. The guys getting paid a pretty good salary to lift, while you obsess over him on the internet. Owned.

I just told you why. Making improvements and competing to win is one part of it the other is simply that he doesn't like to compete. He likes to be full, chubby, big, strong and live a germaphobe lifestyle.

funny cuz you seem to be the most wet. why don't you just come out and admit your a schmoe with a huge man crush on evan?
its as obvious as the day is long, your not kidding anyone!
-
His strategy has been working well so far... his first show was the 09 NY Pro and he won beating DJ and Ruhl. I'd probably do the same as him... you're not gonna get bigger if you're dieting for shows 10 months of the year.
-
He recently explained his rationale in an interview and it made perfect sense. If you think you can do better, why don't you show him how it's done. ::)
What was it, try to clean up at smaller shows, unless "a big name" shows up? I was thinking he might try and repeat his gift win at the NY Pro, then word got out that Wolf was gonna do it, no Evan.
Block, there is only so much guestposing and working for Universal, if you aren't relevant to fans (or schmoes) after a while.. Up comes the next guy. If Frank Mcgrath got his arm fixed (I dont think he is with Universal anymore) do you think they would pick him over
Evan, especially since Frank is the face and body of Animalpak.
As a matter of fact, I believe Brandon Curry is finally going to compete.
In the end this thread seems to may have backfired, because This just keeps giving Evan more exposure, and he didn't even have to get in shape and on stage for it .

excellent response...
look..if i won the ny pro, and had some sort of competitve /hunger to win...i would put my self in a situation like this years arnold....there is notthing wrong to place top 8 in this years lineup....i dont know why evan is shying away from top competition...or making excuses on why he dosent show his face much (dosent like to travel...ect..hurd it on rxmuscle)....but i just cant be behind someone who is shy and does not battle it out...
i was extremly dissapointeed when i saw him at the ny pro.....his posing routine was just some lazy ass routin......he didnt show any kiind of competitive hunger.
weird shit

Is he a lame dude or what? Whats his mindset anyhow, makes a living taking juice but needs a waterpurifier.Maybe he has some inner conflict with what hes doing to his body and retire early. For the record I dont really want to look like any pros but it might be cool to be built like him. Sicks arms.

Just like Block said, Evan doesnt like competing. I think he likes everything else involved with bodybuilding, like not having a job, goin to the gym, being hyooge, getting pussy on the message boards, etc etc, he just doesnt like to stand up onstage in front of a bunch of 50yr old creepy lookin dudes all oiled up and in a thong.
Nothing wrong with that.

Does he hav a girl? He could be killing fitness hos. Hes 25-26. He doesnt need to rush it seems your best years are over 30 nowadays. Take his time and add size to everything but his waist. I dont know if I see anything special with him though. Like to see him stand aside Phil Heath

Hes engaged lol, but thats a whole different story, that blockhead can tell alot better than I.
As for evan hes actually a pretty smart and down to earth dude, which is why i dont even know how he is a bodybuilder, but nonetheless, no matter how much time he takes off he'll never have legs to match his upper body, but he can be a top 10 olympia guy, but he'll never win one.......

He likes to do guestposing in front of cheering 50 yr old creepy looking dudes
He'd get killed if stood next to Phil Heath...

you guys have rocks in your heads... evan has the potential to be one of the best of all time if he doesn't screw it up...
he is like a young gary strydom (tall, slim hips, round muscles) but has the one thing gary never had and that is a decent back - which will only get better.

Best of all time at what? He doesn't compete with the Big Boys--and he has build like Bob Chick, but with better arms...Until he stands toe to tow with the likes of Heath, Green, Jackson, JOJ, Wolf, Cutler, Branch, Samuel, Martinez, h won't be considered one of the all time bests.

Thats cold dawg, what did Evan ever do to you? Interesting comparison, you mean structure wise they are similar? I think you would agree Evan is much better than Bob though. I should be showing a fellow CT boy some love but until I heard of him I thought I had the best genetics in the state. ;D

the word potential was used... he isn't top 10 yet but he could be ranked right up there one day he just needs time to do exactly what he is doing by not competing very often.

BIG kid,very good overall build,i think he should try to compete a few times a yr for a couple of years to get that pro conditioning set pat and polish meaning posing,prep,keep the body getting into that contest look mor eoften,he has plenty of size,time,youth on his side.

Yes. The inner-conflict thing with the bodybuilding lifestyle is one of the reasons why he is such a stickler about water-purifiers, plastic bottles, hand sanitizers, buying fresh food etc... It's his YIN/YANG.
Does he have a girl? Hahahaha... Yes. Yes, he does. He is engaged and I am sure she is a sweet girl. My words of advice for Evan, as a divorcee, is that he needs to stay OFF the message boards with his feet grounded in CT.
- Actually. He READS the message boards as he is reading this right now but he thinks anyone who posts on them are phaggots.
It goes to show how tiny tiny tiny the bodybuilding industry is. I never even met the guy... wait. Yes, I did. Twice, Briefely. Or, I shook his hand twice and made a quick joke with him a couple times and for some reason I know alot about him. Sad, actually.

Ive posted comparison pics before of Chick and Evan, when both won their pro cards and their both first pro wins, both have very similar structures and waist shape. Bur Evan is better, and has sicker arms.
I do think it is a ego issue with Evan and as much as Blockhead has said. Why spend your time getting checks from Universal, being offseason, do little to no competing, take roids, GH, insulin, for what? It's not about thinking, sorry, he's no Vic Richards, not even close to that.
I think he knows he would get blown out of the water, but he's ego won't allow him to admit it and actually try to see if he can actually win a stacked show. Now, look at how Zach Khan feels about mixing it with the pros...the man is full of zest and zeal. Regardless of how one feels about Phil Heath, he came in with guns blazing as well. That is how you do it. Only time will tell, and maybe The reps for Universal may see this thread and push Evan to compete more.

dude, lets face it...ur scared....u run away from every show..in the past 2 years you have competed in 2 shows....do u make enough money..

He has nothing to prove. Scared of what? He won his first pro show.

Oh, believe me the reps at UNIVERSAL already have seen this thread. It's amazing how fast the buzz around the bodybuilding industry spreads with the invention of text-messaging, e-mail and the internet.
I doubt anything will happen as Universal knows that 99% of supplement users/buyers don't compete, don't follow bodybuilding competitions nor ever will.

Given his first pro win. DJ And Ruhl looked better. For most, the guess is that if Wolf, Phil, Dex, Green, chances are he would have picked another show. Or that he sits out the Mr. O, usually if someone qaulifies for the Mr . O and sits out the rest of the season, they preparing for the Mr O, to bring the package.

im starting to realize that evan isnt really "athlete" per se, and i dont really mean dispespect towards that statement...
i can recall reading that all he did during high school was be chubby and just work out. add a good person and potentially very mellow..you just never really can ignite the adrenaline/competitve hormones in the body...
hes never had to compete during his middle school years and high school years to be a better athlete/more popular/or get more chicks/try to win a scholy......
i can conclude this to what BLOCK has been saying
i dont mean any disprectec, i just dont know if he knows how to be hungry...if i had won the ny pro...i would want nuttin else but to be in the arnold classic...
who knows..maybe he fucks up this year..and now hes comin into the arnold next year a loser.....
u gotta run with this momentum....

evan,
if you are reading this i want to say that you will NEVER be as cool/awe inspiring as your uncle

Evan isn't starting his pro career much different than Phil Heath, who was very careful not to enter the big shows too soon. Now that he's won the NY Pro though, the next show to step up to is the Arnold. I was hoping to see a few of these young guys in the Arnold line-up. Someone should remind them that many pros looked their best early in their career (Levrone, Wheeler, Cutler, etc), so don't waste this time sitting out.

Phil did the Colorado pro that had Darrem Charles, a very good DJ, David Henry,among others, which was promoted by Shawn Ray and the NY Pro, which had the same competitor. Back in 2006 the NY Pro was decent, not like today, which is shitty. The Colorado and the NY Pro back then, were one of the bigger, smaller shows. They had high profile names in them. Phil won them both, plus Phil has a higher caliber physique.
Plus Phil jumped right in after winning his pro card. There are no similarities in terms of careers

Phil beat scrubs in 06 at the Colorado & NY Pro. He picked those shows because he knew he could win them. The next year, he entered the AC and placed 5th. I'm not saying that Evan is as good as Phil, just pointing out that there are many guys being very selective about starting their pro career, and in the case of Brandon Curry, still hasn't started.

I wouldn't call a then great Darrem Charles, DJ, and David Henry "scrubs"...when I made my post I was looking at the Flex mag I had of the contest, and they looked in prime shape. In fact, the wins for both shows could have gone either way to Phil or Darrem, just like when Vic won the GNC over Darrem, it could have gone either way.

What a retarded thread. Evan has shown that his strategy is working. Won his first pro show. How many pros ever win a show? Maybe it's better to compete a lot and never win. ???

I understand a win is a win, but he was given that show. Who knows what back door dealings were done with Universal and Steve W. DJ and Ruhl looked way better. Even though Shawn Ray only won two shows I believe, he competed in a ton of Mr. Olympia's, yet he is one of the all time greats. Vince Taylor competed in a ton of shows and won them as well, and he has the record for most wins, and is all time great. I don't see Evan of the future being a all time great, based upon what he is doing or the physique. To shy away from Wolf, Greene, Heath, Martinez, Cutler, Jackson,etc...to me makes it seem like he is scared, to be successful you can't be scared. You take the bull by the horns, you don't after the calf or the cow and say you killed a bull.
I wouldn't say his strategy works, If he implements the strategy and there is a pattern, then we can say it works.

So far it's working.
If he isn't very good right now, like you say, then maybe taking his time is in his best interest. Especially if he doesn't want to be just an also-ran. Being in prep mode doesn't allow anyone to make big changes. Or maybe some can but most would agree that competing a lot will make the body rebel much quicker. Why do you think Ronnie only did the O most years? Same with Yates. Because of fear? Or because the O title was more important than just doing lots of shows.
Would Shawn Ray trade all those Olympia showings for just one Sandow? What do you think?

The O title was more important, but then you are dealing with diff caliber of competitor. Ronnie use to chug along do a lot of contests. Beating Flex here and there. And we saw what happened whe Ronnie did the GNC so close to the Mr. O.
SHawn Ray would of course trade on those for one Sandow, but that was the reason why he conpeted, to win. And he firmly believed he could win, and in most people's view he did win 1994. To me, he does have the heart of a champion, he was willing to grind it out against the big boys, whereas Evan seems scared...
When I got two MD mags that detailed Evan's arm workout, I was thinking, okay, he's going be another great one, in the mode that they were pushing Mutant (forgot dude's name- short black guy with the huge legs, he had to retire due to health reasons). Now, I think Evan is hype, and even Frank McGrath is hype, but he seems to be more "nose to the grindstone", and marketable.
Evan to comes in along line of hyped guys, Chris Combs (?), Federov, Wolf (to some degree), Aaron Maddron, Eric Fromm, Van Amsterdam, Omar Deckard, that big black dude with the wide waist and huge legs, and others.
-
Evan should go for the arnold in 2011... big deal if that means he has had 19-20 months between shows.... yates had from oct 1988 to may 1990 off and he improved greatly.

Apple's and oranges, Dorian trained his ass off and was a future Mr O winner, Evan guestposes does more guestposings than competitions....and he ain't a future Mr. O winner (unless nobody shows up) especially if he continues this path.
-
so you dont think he will improve?

evan doesn't yet have enough muscle to be a top 3 guy so what is the problem with taking the time to built it? he ain't gonna build it competing every 6 months... remember kamali?

I understand a win is a win, but he was given that show. Who knows what back door dealings were done with Universal and Steve W. DJ and Ruhl looked way better. Even though Shawn Ray only won two shows I believe, he competed in a ton of Mr. Olympia's, yet he is one of the all time greats. Vince Taylor competed in a ton of shows and won them as well, and he has the record for most wins, and is all time great. I don't see Evan of the future being a all time great, based upon what he is doing or the physique. To shy away from Wolf, Greene, Heath, Martinez, Cutler, Jackson,etc...to me makes it seem like he is scared, to be successful you can't be scared. You take the bull by the horns, you don't after the calf or the cow and say you killed a bull.
I wouldn't say his strategy works, If he implements the strategy and there is a pattern, then we can say it works.
DJ did not look better then Evan at that show. Dj looked really "odd" in everything i have seen from him this past year. Evan looked great and so did Ruhl but in no way did he not deserve the win. He looked Great.

I stand corrected, both looked terrible. Which one is the bigger bag of shit? Evan looked odd as fuck, he looked better as amatuer. No wonder he won't compete, structurally flawed and lacks a back...he's all arms. Disappointing for a young gun.
-
evan's back is far from poor... he needs to add to it yes but he has nice shape to it and low lats which is half the battle.
-
Here's the deal: Blechman hates Evan because Evan won't compete and Steve is overpaying him, but since Wolf left MD, Evan is the only "up and coming"
whiteboy Goldenboy Steve has left. Evan knows the clock is ticking but figures it's better to stay on the sidelines and collect his paychecks than get blown off the stage and lose his contracts. Smart kid, if you ask me...
...except for texting those dreamy bedtime photos. That's some dumbass Tiger Woods shit right there!

Dude that is a poor ass back, and he should already have a decent back by now...Take a look at Kai, Vic, Phil, David Henry for back...But Evan has a better back than our current Mr. O.
What Special Ed, Blechman not picking up Alvisi?
-
Evan is afraid that if he competes too often his Uncle Mike Dusa will learn of his whereabouts.

Exactly right. In this "sport" you are much worse off losing than not competing at all.

I was there
and
they did not

Best of all time at what? He doesn't compete with the Big Boys--and he has build like Bob Chick, but with better arms...Until he stands toe to tow with the likes of Heath, Green, Jackson, JOJ, Wolf, Cutler, Branch, Samuel, Martinez, h won't be considered one of the all time bests.
he already smoked the frog, samuel

Which picture do you speak of? This one? This picture here?

Just curious block, why would evan be sending you dreamy bedroom pictures like the one above???
Or perhaps he wasnt sending them to you, and he was sending them to an avatar that he's never met before ;D

Im starting to realize why Evan doesnt compete that much. Schmoedom has claimed is offseasoned glutes. I willing to bet their might be Jack off vids in his future---if he hasn't already done them.

PROOF that Evan studies Getbig.com...

2009 is pretty much done! Damn, this year flew. So much happened this past year and I have so much to be grateful for. Because it’s the end of the year and there are so many people that had everything to do with this year being such a great one, I have a lot of people to thank. First off, I have to thank my family, my girlfriend Erica, and all my friends. They have all stuck by me. Erica, you’re my rock and I’m so lucky to have you. I love you!
I’d like to thank Steve Blechman and all of MD for their continued faith in me and allowing me to be a part of the most hardcore mag worldwide. THANK YOU!
A huge thanks to Universal Nutrition. You guys have shown that honesty and integrity not only exist in this industry, but can be the foundation for success. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to represent Universal and all it stands for. Second to none.
I want to express my most sincere thanks to Oscar Ardon. To devote yourself so fully to ensuring my success is more than I could ever ask for. In fact, it happens to me more than anyone else out there is willing to do. We kicked ass in New York. You’ve inspired me when I needed a kick in the ass and instilled confidence when I’ve questioned myself. You’re a great coach but even more, a good friend. Thank you.
A huge thanks to the Montanari Bros. in New Haven, CT for keeping it alive, giving everyone a badass place to train, and keeping the love alive for bodybuilding.
I want to give a special thanks to my close friend PJ Braun. I love you. (No homo) (Maybe)
I’d also like to thank my friend Ron Noreman for being nothing short of a great guy and for never failing to be there to help me.
Now, the best for last. I want to thank all my fans out there and everyone on the forums. I don’t think there is anyone who has the kind of fans and support that I have and I’m grateful for every single one of you. I’m flattered that anyone would look to me for help or advice. And even though it’s a little weird that people want to copy my shoes or my haircut, it’s all good. After all, they say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! Emailing me to ask me to go to a water park is still creepy as hell.
Thanks to everyone and I wish you all a Happy New Year!
Yea. 2009 was a crazy year, huh? Bwa ha ha ha!
- Block.

I hope evan had a "peaceful" year..........hes such a great guy.
-
Bwahaha at 'no homo'. But surely he got that line from Superbad or The Hangover or some Seth Rogen or Will Ferrell flick and not Getbig. Right?

Oh boy... Ya done did it now...
