THE BUILD With Evan Centopani
« on: January 31, 2020, 02:37:21 PM »
This is a great and touching interview with Evan Centopani on his body image problem, Entry into Bodybuilding, Teaching Himself to Weld and building his own equipment, etc and a very touch acknowledge meant of the importance of his father and the role he has played in his life

Squat rack looks good, the clear over bare metal typically goes wrong though ( on rods) might be okay in the shed though as it won't be driving around.

I said to myself he did a damn good job of making this rack even though he mentions he really had no idea what he was doing and taught himself to weld.

There was a company called ICARIAN some years ago that made their equipment like that... stainless steel covered with a thick layer of polyurethane.

Not sure that ICARIAN is still in business... I think I heard it was bought out by another company... Nonetheless their equipment was SOLID just as this rack.

Maybe Centopani can get into the equipment manufacturing business on a specialty basis until he can get a full blown business going.

For a guy who eats super organic and healthy, he's aged terribly.

He is suffering from PTSD because of that incident hence why he's built a basement gym.

Yeah that's not a bad idea, that clip has heaps of hits, he should have set it up before they released it....

A high quality heavy duty squat rack like that would last generations. He could ask decent cash and it would be worth it.

Showing that a person is much more than a bodybuilder and loves his father is ESTROGEN FILLED to you?

I wish I had such a relationship with my father like this....

In a time when "FAMILY" practically means NOTHING, it is moving/refreshing/emotional to see this

Seems like a good guy.
I'm sure we all wanted to snap on some twink using the rack for curls, or "phone reps".
He just went and did it (possibly).

The only thing going to failure in gyms these days are peoples phone-batteries...

He doesn't come across that way to me in all his Vid's or Podcasts/interviews.
Seems like a decent guy in an industry full of head-cases.

I am thinking the same way as you

Evan comes across as very down to earth, intelligent and I have never noticed any self serving, self centered attitude about him... hence I asked THE SCOTT to explain what he meant...

Really?  My words were not plain enough?  I find him to be a typical, worthless, lying, drug addicted, lazy sell anything for money and/or drugs, "bodybuilder".

If you feel otherwise, I don't mind but I think I am correct in my character assessment of him.

Evan is a good, normal American man with no skeletons in his closet - a rarity in this 'sport'.

Looking forward to his comeback!

Dude, you can be a funny guy but do you ever have a good word to say about anyone? Your insults would carry much more weight if you selected your targets rather than attacking everyone.

Well, should I find something admirable about a person, I would say so.  I really don't think Evan is admirable in any way I have seen.  People such as him are liars.  If it's okay for them to spew their rote then I see no reason why someone (and I am far from alone in doing so) should not only call them on it, but belittle them for it.  For example, Joe Weider was complete charlatan.  I used to train in a couple of gyms that one of his relatives used and they said he was a farce.  Now, you can take that with a gram of gear or a grain of salt, because anything that is said here can be very difficult to prove and I have no problem with you not believing me.

Bodybuilding today is just a bloated (and less wealthy) version of Hollyweird. 

By that I mean it is a facade.  A whitewashed tomb that while it looks "nice" to the casual observer, once you open the door you realize that it's a tomb containing nothing but the real possibility of self induced illness and early death.

I don't cut myself any slack.   I  am not at all intelligent and my physique is nothing compared to many here whether or not they take PED.   I am admittedly a fan of bodybuilding from the 40s through 1985 or so, I think Haney was way overrated and that Dorian should have lost more than once or twice too.  Without the "helpers" the freaks would have remained tweaks.

The muscularly obese are ego driven and will ultimately wind up in an early grave and I think that's fine.  If Evan is changing it remains to be seen.  Anyone can "change", the key is to change for the better.  If he does, in all likelihood it's due to something going on in the background (i.e., health related or legal "issues") that we're not (yet?) aware of.

Yup.  I would say that it seemed they loved to hate one another.
