[@shawnchristopherwhite3271]

Evan Centopani is great - I love everything he has to say whether it's training or food recipes! He has a great amount of experience.

[@jonathansaffron3119]

Looking forward to this one. Evan's videos completely changed my view on nutrition.

[@jessezfromboston]

I have personally trained with Evan many years ago at his home gym that I used to be a member at. He truly is as great of a guy as he is in this video. I didn’t know him from a hole in the wall but he is always kind and saying hello to all the members at the gym. Great guy

[@C-24-Brandan]

Same at powerhouse in New haven, I met him when he was prepping for and won the ny pro. He's a really great guy helped me a lot with training ect

[@XothermeK]

Evan is a great dude, God bless him and his family. And thank you Steve for making this interview happen. 🙏🏼

[@AlexZphc]

One of the most competent people in my opinion!

[@AL--gm8sl]

@Vigorous Steve This was an awesome conversation. Thank you for inviting us to be a part of it 🙏

[@chrisneely3069]

I worked the animal booth in Vegas with Evan and he’s such a gentlemen lol I was a no one and he treated me so fairly and right I will never forget that

[@EvanCentopaniOfficial]

🙏

[@michaelzhao1844]

Had a tibial plateau ORIF and meniscus tear repair on May 8. I've been running 500mcg TB, 500mcg BPC, 1.5IU HGH, 500mcg CBD daily, and 100mg Pentosan weekly and have almost have full range of motion in my knee again after 4 weeks. My surgeon was about to clear me to weight bear after seeing my 4 week xrays, before he realized I was only 4 weeks out and told me to slow down lol. Thanks for the great content, looking forward to the updated healing protocol video.

[@davidcua996]

This podcast was sweat ! I remember Evan since the beginning of his career and the first time he was on muscular development forums. Always was a stand up guy I looked up to ! Thanks Steve for this treat of an interview / discussion !

[@panchopuskas1]

Makes you realise how important it is to avoid injuries......you can get big without going batshit crazy with the weights.....great talk BTW, by 2 guys who obviously know what they're talking about.....

[@cesarpitbull123]

Loved this those MD magazines with Centopani repping animal were one of the most recognizable parts bodybuilding memorabilia growing up. Great work guys 👏

[@rossnelson6300]

For sure. He may not have been at the level of some of the guys on the cover but as a teenager I knew his name on the list of guys like jay, Ronnie, branch, Dennis wolf, victor martinez, those were all the guys in MD mag at the time

[@TheLarryPollock]

Great Interview with Evan, you hit it out of the park again. Can't wait for the collab with you, Roman Fritz and Evan!

[@conniealvarez4452]

This was a great show guys. Always been a fan of Evans since the mid 2000s. Thanks for your time both of you. Definitely do this again!

[@EvanCentopaniOfficial]

🙏

[@stevekwieraga1545]

I trained in the same gym Evan did in CT and always thought he was very impressive. The gym has changed so much...no more big, serious bodybuilders anymore. Great video

[@JJOV00]

it's always nice to listen to such great men, the best is of course the crazy stories over the years, and yes Steve, we definitely want a continuation of this. So, extra hard Double 💪 for collab of Roman, Evan and you Steve.

[@nicholasmuetzel8420]

Great collab!! Love seeing these type of podcasts!

[@Barneyfithlawman]

Good personation of Branch voice

[@kakarot8450]

Epic collab!! Evan is a true bodybuilding legend!

[@carybirkbeck9613]

Thank you for all this information! It's especially nice to hear Evan talk about it and open up. We need more stand up people to talk, thanks again for the knowledge! Appreciate you

[@lvxleather]

I always liked Evan's cooking videos. I had a bad motorcycle accident in 2008 and was pretty jacked at the time. The doctors in the ER said all my muscle development saved me from more serious injury or death. I almost lost my foot an had some severe fluid buildup in my head but made it out with a fused ankle and a two week hospital stay. So muscles can actually ave your life, it's not all just for looks 😉

[@MaleOrderBride]

Exactly 👏 there is so much hysteria around bodybuilding and steroids...demonized like we are just narcissists wanting to look good...but going to the gym daily and having muscle IS healthy! 🙌 It is normal! It's the way our body is meant to look!❤ We are surrounded by so many obese people in the media and society now who have normalized being unfit🙄

[@jansima3501]

What a brilliant podcast and interview gentleman ❤❤ Evan, you are still my legend, I had the opportunity talking to you when you were here in the UK in Expos and you were always so kind and super easy to approach. You still l9ok fantastic and huge✌👏👏 Steve, you akso EPIC too, sooo much excellent info, God bless you for all the educational content you do🙏😊

[@johnathanstormborn7462]

I've watched Evan from the MD in the trenches days and the early animal vids with Wrath. So cool to get his insight all these years later. Thanks Steve!

[@DomSornberger]

This was a great pod! Really enjoyed listening to Evan and his stories.

[@A-Man-be4vo]

This was great! Thanks Evan for being so transparent. I will be watching this podcast going forward. So informative. I wish more pros would be honest and open.

[@NicholasWeir]

Loving this video so far... I'm making an exception to sacrifice my sleep tonight to watch this one.

[@leslielamont8032]

High Level Guest thank you VS. Evan Centopani is a Scholar and a Gentleman. His yt video on prepping a weeks worth of meals in one hr is life changing.

[@abdulah3178]

Great episode Steve, love Evan’s openness and experience!

[@thery900]

fantastic episode, always love listening to Evan, one of my favourite bodybuilders from the beginning. Steve you have yourself a new subscriber. keep up the great content.

[@mattmason4589]

Not only are every day joes Getting great information, top ifbb pros are tuning in also, you da man uncle Steve 😀

[@suprmn24]

Evan was my favorite bodybuilder back when he was competing. Such a great physique. And not that I named my son after him BUT he was an inspiration to choosing the name. I met him also at the Atlantic States amateur show. I believe it was 2013. Have a picture with. Such a nice dude. Love the content Steve !

[@AM2812]

Both you guys are the. MAN. Thank you both for the uncountable amounts of life changing information you give us. You both have made me a stronger , healthier person. Thank you. 🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️🏋‍♂️

[@arnoldgonzalez2201]

Best Podcast episode I have seen in a long time. Evan is from my home town CT. I always wished to meet with him and ask some questions. This Podcast helps answer some of those questions.

[@Dansal1980]

You’re from Trumbull too? He was a couple years behind me in highschool and used to see him working out at the old Worlds Gym in 1999/2000

[@Dansal1980]

I Went to Highschool with Evan and worked out at World Gym in Trumbull with him a few times back around 1999/2000. Didn’t know him very much personally but I’ve followed his career over the years cuz he was a local guy. Seems like a really good dude

[@the_notorious_bas]

Great and informative conversation, guys. Would love to see Evan + Roman. Both are honest, dedicated and stoic AF.

[@ReleasePromo]

Upload of the year. Pure respect to Evan for doing this and speaking so openly, very refreshing. Would love to see a Roman / Evan pod as well. Great stuff guys!

[@Haggelus]

Roman and Evan ASAP ! Love listening to both of them! Roman is such a hilarious guy. Great podcast again steve!

[@JGJ505]

That was a great video Steve! It’s great that you can get big names like Evan ! It would be great if you can get Dan Green on a podcast some days, the guy is basically a powerlifting legend (multiple world records in the 220’s) with a bodybuilder physique lol

[@ppgfreak17]

Longtime viewer but never comment. Great podcast 👍🏻 I could listen to an hour of this everyday.

[@Dejwik]

Comment for algorithm and gonna watch tommorow ❤

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks guys

[@S13iPNiR]

That came unexpected, Evan is goat! Looking forward to watching that episode, thanks Steve.

[@Austen-nh6ud]

Evan was kind enough to reply to a couple of my Instagram DMs, fan for life and his double bicep shot hangs in my gym for motivation

[@bulleit9459]

Kickass podcast!!! Love Evan! One of the most down to earth dudes in the business. Not to mention lots of great nuggets of info in this one! Awesome Steve!!

[@BLASTER0913]

Steve. More candid interviews like this. I remember the Getbig days as well. Circa 2003-2009 Getbig was the place to read and be in the mix of it all. gh15 allegedly was Roland Czurlock. I remember all the Mexico vet labs from back then. Lots of nostalgia and good memories from your conversation with Evan.

[@beaches2mountains230]

Denkall, quality vet, crap I used to remember all of them help me out guys

[@PedroChina-i4o]

I lived in London, bruxels,geneva, and later in Dubai, also travelled many places during bjj/mma competitions and I have to say that Dubai is one the best places in the world to eat outside 👌… and I’m Portuguese so I am used too good food!! Thank you guys for the podcast !

[@Trudgeforward]

What a duo. Evan is the best

[@adamcooper8463]

This is one with Evan is one of the best podcasts on real bodybuilding. Honesty, well spoken gents and offers their experience and opinions along with some stories along the way. This was a real real good one! More of this kinda context, you both work well together.

[@childum]

Evan seems super humble and chill. Really enjoying this conversation

[@Douggydrealer]

Such brilliant fellas! Evan is an absolute legend. Most authentic, intelligent and well spoken man in the industry hands down. Great guest for the podcast Steve!

[@donutfitness6324]

Yes to Evan and Roman!

[@testxer]

Excellent stuff!! EC just made my day.

[@ReaktionæreDennis]

Evan is The Gentle Giant of bodybuilding. Humble, intelligent and wholesome. Met him and Antoine Valliant at FIBO many years ago.

[@alexiscamino2540]

Best guest you can ever have on. Love Evan. Growing up If Evan recommended it, we did it

[@C-24-Brandan]

Evan is a great guy, met and trained with him back when he prepped for and won the ny pro! Really awesome to train, talk ect with someone like him esp at powerhouse in new haven ct!

[@nickadz5490]

Yes, Steve I need the Roman and Evan podcast

[@BlueSTI]

Great podcast Steve and Evan💪

[@chrisr9390]

Great interview. I’d love to see a podcast w Evan and Roman. Always great content from all 3 of you guys. And as always greatly appreciate the information

[@K-A.sundberg]

Love the interview!

[@Havrilo2]

I needed this conversation in my life. Thank you guys!

[@CanineRevolution]

Looking forward to the updated tendon & ligament videos, following your last protocols with a recent ACL tear & reconstruction surgery

[@chrislight3155]

Love Evan. Hes seriously hardcore, knows his nutrition as well. Clued up guy.

[@georgebisson628]

Great video. Evan always makes and is part of, great content. The biggest ..Whoa! from the video though, is when Steve said there’s pros out there cruising on 2gs of stuff a week! That’s soooo messed up! I couldn’t imagine how uncomfortable it would be to use 2gs on a blast, let alone that being default. That’s F’ed up. Great video however, I’ve been in the game 27 years. Always great to reminisce about the early 2000s days of bodybuilding forums, and see you guys healthy, happy, and still enjoying the lifestyle. Just being responsible and mature, as all dudes should be over 40. That’s really the cut off. That’s when you downsize, and can still use a bit, but get that body weight down under 250 for sure. (For most) I’ve dropped 60 pounds over the course of 1.5 years, maintaining 225lbs at 6’3. Healthy, happy, look really good, progressing in other physical activities. One door closes, but many can open, and many that are interesting and fun. Take care ❤️

[@michaelrouta8329]

I had no idea Evan had a family that’s so cool to know and mad respect to keep it private.

[@C-24-Brandan]

Gotta say could listen to you & Evan talk all day. A weekly show with him would be great & i think a lot of other people would agree! Fun, entertaining, educational, good stories and info ... you and him would be a def hit doin a weekly show/series.

[@sethbelanger8460]

I haven’t been around for a few months but congratulations! 123k subs?! You deserve it. What a great interview.

[@thebodychange666]

Roman and Evan yes dude! Roman is awesome, love his raw honesty. Evan has the old school history and is a likeable mofo. I think theyd make a good combo🤟

[@The_Fit_Executive]

Absolutely amazing video right here! Two open and honest guys sharing knowledge, absolutely loved this episode!!

[@alexlandry123]

This was the best interview I've seen in years. AWESOME job boys.

[@meepo262]

Every time I have torn something in the gym it has been on days where I took an AI or nolvadex. I never train heavy now until 2 days after dosing one

[@cmtphysiques]

I have suffered a bilateral quad rupture. Bones were also reported to be very dense, but tendons definitely were in bad shape. AAS do increase calcification which increases chance of rupture. These ruptures are what is known as a "frayed mop" rupture because the tendon ends up frayed at the breaking point. They have to trim this off, losing about a centimeter in length.

[@ricknoce79]

Totally down with you doin a podcast with Roman and Evan. It's great info you guys put out there and be open about it. Great video.

[@deanwinchester119]

I got to meet Nasser in person face to face when he was guest posing back in the 2000's. He was super cool to talk to. My pops & i walked up to him after i was literally star struck seeing him in magazines and finally seeing him in person. He treated me and my pops with kindness and like family. Thats how laid back he was. The conversation evolved into if i was taking anything and i said yes. He asked what and how much which at that time i was taking 1500mg test and 750 deca and he said no nooo to be a pro you need four thousand if you wanna be pro I didnt get the chance to ask if he meant 4000 test with other or 4000mg collectively combined but ill never forget it

[@DG-nb6fe]

Most likely 4 grams test alone.

[@Everyonecanseeu]

Evan Scentedponey is awesome

[@martdag1950]

My 2 favorite guys !

[@Blackjuans]

I will always respect how humble Evan is, and always has been.

[@fastdriver2961]

That clenbutrol for cattle here in belgium or maybe also holland is called paardesiroop .I crashed my zx10 on the racetrack because someone drove in to me and thanks to well developed traps my neck wasn't broken. Training helps in motorcycle accidents lol

[@LIVEMUSICJUNKIE916]

I was always a big fan of Evan, but after watching this, he has skyrocketed to my favorite. Amazing interview gentleman

[@Miamiz24]

The one pro i never tought i would see on a podcasts talking about steroid use. Im huge fan of animal products ,mainly vitamins and pre-workouts ,of course it doesn't change the way i see the guy or the brand .

[@TheChacakan]

Always great show

[@toddsmith1690]

Evan is such a Blessing. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@jerzey22]

Always enjoy listening to Evan! One of the good guys

[@ressethp]

Evan seems like such a humble and down to earth man! Big props!

[@Danord7]

This is so great 11/10 💯💪🏻

[@johannponpon5347]

What a plaisant vidéo to watch,thanks guys! Steve please give us the name of your video about mitochondria,I could find it. Thanks

1:18:22 Adding Test Base Cream while on TRT has helped with Libido alot and energy issues. Pretty cool stuff...

[@kbenz5849]

Everybody loves Evan

[@lulurashoosh]

Awsome discussion with the best bodybuilder/ individual out there. Evan makes everything more interesting

[@drewvogel9330]

Well Steve I am also a huge fan of primobolan. It's definitely one of my favorites. I think why people like your podcast and everything is your a down to earth guy. I would love to talk with you. I am going to get my own channel going. There needs to be more good info out there.

[@janklakstein3357]

Make the trio happen asap, really appreciate the content. You’re the best Steve 😁✌🏼

[@neeedlz]

thanks for this! evan sounds like a really polite, pleasant human being.

[@bluesfan182ify]

Great podcast ❤❤🙏🙌

[@michaeldevore1003]

Pumped for this

[@ryanmcemery354]

I have a feeling that the pro who places top 5 in the Olympia that Steve did the review on was William Bonac.

[@jummansheikh739]

Hey Steve could you make a video on Increasing Bone density or how to heal from stress fractures faster, currently looking for a bone density stack and hard to find any reasearch that doesn’t prescribe collegen or excersie, thanks !

[@wibukekar89]

I'm a simple guy, I see Evan, I click the like button

[@x_e_v_]

Hello Steve. What is the difference between the Free Testosterone bloodwork tests? For example: “Testosterone Free, Profile 1” “Testosterone Free, Profile 2” “Testosterone Free, Direct” Etc. What’s the significance of each one and in which cases do you want get that specific test?

[@thomascosta9407]

Awesome podcast! Evan is always fantastic to watch. One of the few last genuine people in the industry

[@BigredGT-pm5lm]

Awesome video guys 👍👍💪💪👏👏❤️

[@Biblewithsteve]

That was great! 👍👍
