Evan Centopani - Shoulder Workout - Current condition

[Body-Buildah]

Quad looks sick/fine. Would have won any of the recent shows if he competed.

[Flexacon]

You must be watching something different to me.

Upper body looks good, but not improved. Condition looks great, but the Quad sweep has gone.

The video is also very telling. Evan lacks confidence, Jose realises this. He is trying his best to be positive without blowing smoke up Evans ass so sticks to complementing his condition.

Evan also always had amazing calves. They now look very average compared to what they once were. His lower body is done.

[Body-Buildah]

But all the recent contests, everyone looks like dogshit, he seems to look better than most of them.
Hard to tell not standing near them, but calf-less guy just won a pro show, so? Cant really see his Thighs, but that one shot looked OK (to me at least, Im more into the strength stuff than judging thong-fests) but he seems to look better than the recent pro shows.

Ill take your word (and many others here) advice/opinion over my own, thats for sure when it comes to contest BB.

I was impressed by this tbh.

My expectations were low. He looks very good, condition is great, upper body is good, he is looking fresher too imo. Where he was looking burnt out before the break.

That one side leg shot isn't enough, we can't say that his legs are there from the front until we see.

The fact that he won't show that leg says a lot. Jose goes "is that the leg"? Can we see? " as if to say if it's the bad leg we don't have to show it.....

Centopani has a fucked up leg when did this happen? What happened?

Also when the new guy on the block is as good as Walker i expect only the top guys to stick around.

It's Very hard to compare a gym clip to contest footage too, not that I'm saying Evan couldn't have contended in the ny pro and Cali. Maybe he could have, but we won't know really how he will go until he has a crack.

A few years back he slipped over on ice (if I rememeber right) and detached his patella tendon. No ones publicly seen a pic of the leg since.

DID raymond retire?he is still holding on the close to same size.evan looks good 'huge'condition is great for not competing.

Hi Mayor

[sway]

He’s done at this point. Pushing 40, can’t bring up his obvious weak points that he’s always had (Chest and back). Legs will never come back either. The sports passed him by. His physique, even at his best,  is not what wins shows by today’s standards.
All in all for all the hype he got over the years, you have to consider his competitive career a disappointment. Only won one show and I think it was the Tampa pro.
Animal/Universal must pay him a small fortune.

Thats pretty disappointing. He had the hype train behind him to the fullest.

WHAT was his overall placings?i mean he wasnt a total bust if he was top 5 many times.

Jose says no since his hip replacement but I wouldn't be surprised.

Definitely blew back up.

Yeah he retired at the end of 18 I think.....

As said above I won't be surprised if he comes back for one or more shows.

He has more than one win. He won ny pro.

But I agree he has been a disapointment, like you say he never really brought up his weak points. But he can still win shows if his legs arent trash the standard of physiques has dropped even more in the last ten years.

That's why he should do some small shows like Cali, he could have been in with a chance for a win there.

He won the NY Pro, beating DJ and Markus Ruhl in 2009 (at the top of his MD-hype lol)

Evan also always had amazing calves. They now look very average compared to what they once were. His lower body is done.

Funny how the calves seem to get lost over the years on a lotta older athletes? Is there any scientific explanation for this?

He's losing to everybody in the shot.

Yeah, but he was the (over)hyped US magazine cover-boy back then.

Why are both of these guys juiced to the gills for? One hasn’t competed in years, the other supposedly “retired”

Insecurity and ego issues.

On the other hand, look at guys like Ben Pakulski.  He gets off the juice and completely wastes away.  He's completely unrecognizable --- probably still weighs around 200 pounds, but most of that weight is in his lower body, and he has the arms and torso of an average gymrat. 

Need to strike a happy balance.  It would be best for these guys to taper down to 300-400mg/week, take some SARMs, cut out the GH and insulin completely, and look like a golden-ager.

The size of big Markus! It's a shame he didn't win more shows as he must be one of the top three biggest bodybuilders of all time.

So if they stay big they're "insecure with ego issues" but if they lose size they're too small???

Honestly some of the nonsense people say amazes me...

They're all soft except Evan and hide..

Back when being big was still rewarded.

Using modern day judging Hide would be close to winning.
