Muskeln-kaufen.de oh shush, he does it because 100% of the people in IFBB does it, and it’s part of the job. They do it responsibly, they’re not abusing it and dying. The ones that do abuse it, aren’t the pros. If you have an attitude like that, judge people for drinking coffee. Caffeine’s a drug as well.

Great Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Chireetler Deepest Relaxation Rule (do a search on google)?

When he says “maybe I take that for granted” it hit me hard. I know exactly what he means. I’ve never seen him this vulnerable. I can relate. My father battled cancer for two years until he succumbed to his illness. This made me choke a bit. Such a wholesome story. Keep thriving Evan.

[@StevExMachina]

Unvek Oak it’s always humbling. Larger than life but he’s still human, he’s not afraid of his emotions. He’s not a hardcore meathead... he’s just a guy who gets along with his dad and lifts weights. The Animal and Universal guys are like that. Humble and real.

[@swingforthefences777]

Glad you pointed this out Anthony. I lost my dad when I was 2, never knew him. I have a 24 year old son, that would never have broke down like that. I've always been here for him.

Evan Centopani - the thinking man's bodybuilder. It's a refreshing change from the young and brash 'fitness icons' who fill our KZbin screens. Insightful and reflective, I will never get bored listening to Evan speaking.

[@davidbarber5910]

Been following Evan for a couple of years now. He seems to me to be one of the most honest and genuine bodybuilders out there. Love his food videos and his training/diet advice is always spot on. I wish him well with his comeback and all the best with the upcoming competition. Great to see him back...

[@danrcockerham]

I'm so grateful that your dad has recovered from the cancer, and that you appreciate all that he has done for you. As you said, some of us never had that in our lives. Growing up, that was the biggest thing missing in my own experience. Although I never achieved anything near competition status, I've been a garage/basement lifter for over 40 years. As a policeman, I know that staying strong and in good shape saved my skin on many occasions. It's been the one constant thing in my life and undoubtedly allowed me to maintain my sanity over the years. This IMHO is one of your BEST videos! Thank you Evan!!!

[@EvanCentopaniOfficial]

[@johnfcaraccio6900]

I remember when Evan won the Eastern USAs in NY way back when, not sure what year that was but his whole family was cheering him on, he was just so damn BIG and complete . I was competing in that show as a lightweight and met him a few months later at The Nationals, he was working with Dave Palumbo at that time, as was i . Such a genuine and overall nice guy. Wish he would wear some safety glasses though, I’ve seen many guys get a sliver of metal in there eyes during my years in construction ... God Bless, always great having Dad & son moments 🙏👍....enjoy your home gym

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

Man, I don't know whether Evan is going to watch this or not but I really love watching him talk. He's always that calm and no matter how hard life can be I don't know I just admire him not losing his drive and his focus. So anyway I just want to say I wish you all the best in everything you do Evan and we all love you man. When you mentioned your father, it really touched me as well since I never had that with either my father or my mother. P.S. bring back the cooking videos

*WOW. I really needed to watch this. I used to be a huge gym freak but ever since I got older I've just become lazy, not eating right, not working out. I'm 30 years old and I used to work out all the time from the ages 12-23ish is when I started to slow down and just stop caring how I looked. But for the past year I been debating whether or not, instead of paying money for a gym membership that I could just make my own little gym in my home. All I really need is a few flat weights, some dumbbells, a bar and what not. And after watching this video, I'm definitely going to follow through with my plans and get my body back in shape!!*

[@user-wc1em7pc2p]

This was badass. The artistic aspects, the emotionality, the editing, Evan just speaking his mind, and the overall delivery. Whenever Evan is the subject I feel like there is going to be something worth watching, and this was a real treat to watch all the way through.

What an inspiring story and person. Evan is the antithesis of your typical bodybuilder, at least from most people's perspectives. He's humble, shows his vulnerabilities, he is intelligent and well spoken, and most importantly a champion of life. I am a martial artist and bodybuilder and I can see the parallels in the self realization and humility that one can get from bodybuilding and martial arts. In the beginning you may feel cocky and unclear as to why you are participating, but maturity and truthful understanding will eventually bring a clarity to life and your understanding of yourself that creates people like Evan.
