I vote NO
It's an incredibly tough lineup this year and why enter knowing you can't place top 6?
he's very young (27)
I'd take some time off and do the ironman or Arnold 2010
There is no way he can bring up his weakpoints in time for the O
-
Hell no he shouldnt even have one the NY!

Why not.
-
i'd retire if i were him
-
He might make the top 15 if he enters, not enough size for the O ;D
-
I'd take the Phil Heath route and hit another show but not the Olympia this year. Needs another year for more size. Maybe the Arnold next year though...
-

I guess you look better or havea better job? ::)
tool.

That sounds about right...
-
he should do it and get the experience, he has more than enough size.
-
NO he should wait
Besides this year the top 6 is already locked at the O
In no particular order:
Kai
Dex
Phil
Vic
Phil
Jay
Imagine if he could crack that crowd tho, :D
-
He can be top 10, maybe even 8th. So, that would be a good first Olympia.

why he should fucking wait? ::) for what?
he should do the Olympia just for experience.
So whoever qualifies for the Olympia must take 2,3564634234 years to make "improvements" in the hope of becoming Mr. Olympia? He must be delusional if he does this.

i agree.
-
Yea he should enter the O, but be prepared to be out of the top ten. Look what Kai has done this year by waiting it out a year. Now he is a real contender for the O.
-
i agree.
Yes,
Just for the participation, i mean thats the most important bb competition in the whole world, where the best of the best gather and because a skinnyfat mentor/trainer whatever the fuck, tells him to skip it he must do it?
I just dont get it.
-
Phil heath waited to beef up.
Evan doesn't need to do that, IMO.
Do the show, get top 10, and consider it a win for 2009.
-
I honestly didn't think he looked all that impressive. As usual, much better in pics prior to the show. I think he'd have issues at the O, could be wrong though.

I agree - is it the tanning oil shit they put on? Looks like they rubbed Shine-ola all over their body. Why do people insist on doing that?
Am I the only one that thinks like this?

Word. Evan looked like he took a bath in baby oil. I thought the others looked normal, but his was WAY off-enough so that if I were a judge, I might have been tempted to knock him down a point or two.
-
this year Centopani can be 4th or 5th at Olympia
-
He can do it..
-
Evan has great tools and potential, but he's got a long way to go before he's a challenger at the Olympia. He would be fortunate to make the top 10 in this year's lineup.
-
Why wouldn't he do it? If anything, it will elevate his career further (more sponsors) and allow him to gain some experience. Evan's playing with house money and he has nothing to lose.

He's a thoughtful guy and won't jump right in if he doesn't feel as if he can win. He's been very deliberate about his career up to this point, and I don't see that changing. No way he's going to be in the top 6 of this year's show.
Jay, Dex, Phil, Dennis, Victor, Kai, Branch, Toney...Evan isn't going to be knocking any of these guys off this time around. He didn't dominate the NY Pro by any stretch.

his marketability might drop if he is tied for 16 and beaten by a few scrubs at the O.
Even Phil heath, who dominated his first 2 shows, didn't compete at the O right away.
Evan could have been 3rd at this show. If it were held in TX or Cali, he probably would have been 3rd.
-
evan isn't going to compete in the Olympia this year, no chance. he's not near ready anyway
he's another one of those guys who's going to be very selective about what shows he competes in
he chose new york for his pro debut for a reason

Marketability has little to do with placing if you're guy like Evan.

Do you know him? You must have insider knowledge on the issue?

i'd retire if i were him

Dude's midsection is alread huge and it'll only get bigger :-X

Why not? He could probably make the top 10 and if not, why would it be so bad if he performed poorly? It would be good experience I think. Cutler was second last in 1999 at age 26.
-
Jay, Dex, Phil, Dennis, Victor, Kai, Branch, Toney
Branch, Toney? Who knows how Toney will show up and Branch looks like doggshit, Evan would have a good chance of beating both of them. He should do it.
-

Agreed.
-
if he wants to do it then he should do it, if he doesnt want to do it then its a good idea to take a year off and come back to the arnold 10-15 lbs bigger.
im sure he wants to get up on the olympia stage though. as would i. he placed ahead of dj and silvio, both of whom were top 10 last year.
-
Yea he should enter the O, but be prepared to be out of the top ten. Look what Kai has done this year by waiting it out a year. Now he is a real contender for the O.
Spot on

stop flip floppin :D

Good point
-
stop flip floppin :D
Not to mention his "marketability" is not going to drop during his first year. Everyone knows he can't win the O this year....even if he deserved to. Politics would never allow it and we all know about the politics of the O. As I said, Evan is playing with house money.

Damn now u flip floppin ;)
-
Might as well hit the O,, Dude's triceps are nuts!
-
Whatever he decides to do he really needs to take his mid section into account and figure out what is going on. Maybe they were just some bad angled pics, but he was looking pretty funky in some of the pics on here. Way to young to be fucking up his midsection already. The rest of his physique is pretty good, and besides wolf and heath, probably the most complete young guy out there.

He's got some funky veins running through his lower abz that are really distracting.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.

I'd say no, And don't believe he deserved the NY Pro, but congrats to him for the win, however politically motivated it was. A win is a win.
The reason why I say no is the same reasons that many have given. But I don't think Evan could place well in this current crop unless the top bodybuilders were taken out by some sort of mysterious flu or bad grilled chicken the night before the Olympia.
I firmly believe that Evan has neither the structure nor the "WOW" factor that a true champion possess. His waist is wide, his torso is "odd", back ok, and legs are descent...arms are his best attribute...but in the company that he's in now...he needs more than some descent arms...I was disappointed that he didn't live up to the hype that was surrounding him, I was expecting a phenom.
He could take 2-3 yrs off and he still won't be better, possibly worse, plus, there are some true up and comers that can and will blow him out of the water...namely Roelly Winklaar and Brandon Curry.
-
what is placing "well"? IMO top ten is definitely respectable placing, thats top 10 in the entire world... and Evan certainly has the potential to place inside the top 10.
-
i don't think it is a matter of "if" (I mean, if you qualify, which he did, you should definitly do it)..
...it is more of a matter of if he can afford to do it *nudge nudge wink wink*
-

Only a person who limits themselves shoots for top 10...or that person knows deep down inside, they can't beat the top 5. If that's true, then why even compete? You don't run a race to come in 2nd place.
That is why I respect Shawn Ray...the man thought he could beat anybody, and that is how he prepared for each contest, he never second guess himself, and in all honesty, he deserved the 1994 Mr. O. He never said to himself..."I think I can place 10...that respectable". No, he thought he could win...That mentality seperates the winners from the losers...and yes he didn't win any Mr. o's but he has more top 5 places than anyone else.

Evan can easily afford al the costs to do it. The cost to compete is severely overestimated. One can run a massive cycle with tons of gh slin and t3 along side of it for rather cheap. The food is the expensive part, but Evan seems to have a good support system in place.

right, if it'd been held in southern california silvio would have won
-
Damn now u flip floppin ;)
What? How?
-

Hell, Cormier could have won it then...
-
What? How?
You're insinuating he has no chance of winning, ergo why compete ;)

Thats not flip flopping and if you read my first couple of posts on the topic, you will see that I have stated that Evan is playing with house money at this point and that he has nothing to lose by competing. He wont win the O, but he might place well and elevate his financial status by exposing himself to some of the major sponsors out there.....the fans love him.

I agree with you 100%. I think he should do it, although I have a feeling he won't. You can't argue with his track record his worst placing was 2nd to Desmond Miller in the Nationals.
I would like to see him do it, knowing he can't crack the top six. And if somehow he did that would be hugh!!!
-
Hell no he shouldnt even have one the NY!
Where are pics from this show?

Playing with house money? How so? He's already doing fine in the sponsorship department with Universal and MD. The new breed of pros don't have the goods to compete right away like the Levrones and the Wheelers. Back then, when a guy turned pro, he had to go through VERY TOUGH COMPETITION to get a pro card. Today, oftentimes a guy can turn pro because everyone else sucks and he's the only one decent enough to take the crown. Phil understands this, and so does Evan. They are good but need more time in the gym to really compete with the top guys.
-
The attention is flattering lads, but I'll be sitting this one out.
Word is: they're testing for Plazmosis this year.
-
In my humble opinion, I think he had better skip the O this year and prepare for the 2010 Arnold Classic,win it and then shoot for the 2010 O and be a serious contender. He will be 28 years old then ;)
I liked his classically built physique and his great legs. :)
Really he has the best calves I have ever seen. 8)
-
If he can peak twice in a year I think he can be top 10 for sure, so again, why not?
-

Make up your freaking mind Rob Viral-O... "song" or "no song"?
-
At the Olympia Evan Centopani can make a place between 8-10, if heīs in the same condition/or better than in NY.
Jackson
Heath
Wolf
Cutler
Greene
Freeman
Warren
he canīt beat in 2009. i also donīt believe that he will entering the stage in Las Vegas. His mentor (Oscar) also had enough work to prepare Kai Greene for the Mr. Olympia.

hahahah gh15 owned that piece of dogshit.

He has a great build and potential, he should now take the rest of the year off and try to place top 3 at next years Arnold, hes realistically 2 to 3 years of being Top6 at the Olympia, but he has the potential to go along way if he takes his time and doesnt burn out. The Arnold next year and the year after that trying to win the Arnold would be good steps to eventually making it to the Olympia.

gh15 what would you reccomend to bring his chest up? mine cant seem to grow too. Im hearing suggestions.

Bummer I was hoping for a heated PM exchange with you GH15 on Evan's chances on future olympia titles.
-

GH 15,
What is the absolute limit for Evan ..? ::)
Dont forget to consider that he is on gear ::)

Mo Fucking Moussawi got a top 10 last year for fuck sake
I'd say he should do it !
