I hear ya... Seems like Ox is gettin' tons of attention this year. Kinda makes ya think. Still, I gotta say he's deservin' of the press. Great, great bodybuilder and more importantly IMHO, a great ambassador for the sport... Hard workin', dedicated, humble and approachable to fans everywhere. The due is goin' places.

Next installment goin' up early next week. If ya wanna see sumthin particular, suggest it here TT...

ofcourse he deserves the attention, him and kai are my favourite pro's to listen to

as for suggestions: a Centopani cooking/diet vid is always nice to watch

[Musc1eBound]

Is it just me or was Evan Centopani known as the "East Coast Beast" before being nicknamed the "Ox"?

Not sure the Animal Crew got vid of Ox cookin'.... Last year, they got video of him visitin' the fish market. That was pretty awesome.

Also love these interviews, post-show 2011 after the Arnold. Simply great stuff... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QklyT...gBWKyLIOOdlGT2

Never heard that before but that don't mean it ain't true. All I know is, EC chose "Ox" as his handle for Animal... Not sure why tho.

[Dietze2]

Awesome, Evan's going to do big things this year. I just have a feeling

[Revived]

Great video

[Universal Rep]

Great video

Next installment Mon or Tue next week... I got a sneak preview. It was solid.

I'm not sure if there is such thing as too much coverage of a pro bber leading up to big shows unless that coverage is things like a dui or medication addictions or something bad. Any kind of coverage thats positive for a pro bber is really welcomed!

As long as that coverage doesnt end up with random cameras in your gym trying to take photos of you daily and people asking for autographs at the gym hourly. Get home and the press is stalking your house through a van and as soon as you go outside they ask you what you ate so far today. That might be too much coverage.

But hell, if(probably will) Evan wins the Arnold this year, he will get more post contest coverage than any previous arnold classic winner ever. If he wins this show then his fan club will triple! Thousands and thousands of people on the East coast are going to see highlights of his win on the local news channels so the coverage hes getting now might just be a warm up for things to come.

I could seriously listen to Evan talk all day, so much knowledge

[visionz1234]

Not only that, he has a simple and straight up perspective that is refreshing. Really good vid

[Carlitom]

What a great video, he has a really good perspective on things.

[ZBlacktt]

Awesome video indeed. It's so nice to get to really know the pro's of today like this. To not only see the dedication. But to hear it as well.

[jiveinhere]

I love these rambling videos Him and Kai should just sit down and chat in front of a camera for like 2 hours haha

Also, cool to see a supplement company rep on the boards who's a bit more chilled out and not just trying to push products/athletes, but actually willing to listen to people! Repped OP

[KouRon]

Would love to see Evan and Kai talking to each other.....now that would be interesting .

[ROMMYromboid]

I could seriously listen to Evan talk all day, so much knowledge

Agree + I think what even said can be applied to any area of life, or any project, very motivational, he is an intelligent bloke by anyones standards who also has a good sense of logic.

[Gorky88]

Good thread by the OP and also nice manners. Animal might be the best family when it comes to supplements. They hold on to their athletes for long have good products and good marketing.

Good relationships are worth havin' for a long time... I think the philosophy is simple. Surround yourself with good people with good values who understand what ur all about... Let 'em speak from the heart and with sincerity and that's all ya can expect. Ox is a great example of that...

Part II went up yesterday I think... www.youtube.com/Animalpak

Part III will go up later this week...

Love this video! Can't wait for the 3rd instalment

It frustrates me that Evan looks so insanely full & hard (like he does in these vids) a few weeks out, but chances are he'll do the typical peak week bullsh!t & drop a ton of quality pounds he could have brought to the stage.

this FTW... it would be nice to see a pro actually try and not do the typical peak week stuff the rest do and bring it in full as fuuuu. if one or two pros would do it people might see the result and it would become more popular. you'd think that seeing how full and lean he is now would kind of clue him in that maybe he doesn't need to change much to peak well

Ox's take after the 2010 Arnold Classic... Blast from the past and pretty interestin' stuff for sure... It's all about perspective, bein' humble and knowin' who ya are...

"When I was in my early twenties and just starting to get serious about bodybuilding a buddy of mine who liked to party a lot told me a story. He was out somewhere and he was waiting to get into some club. From what he told me, the line was out the door and down the block and he had been waiting for over an hour and had only moved a little bit. Out of nowhere comes this national level bodybuilder, who at the time was pretty well known. He goes up to the front of the line and demands that the doorman let 'em in. His exact words were, “Don't you know who I am?” My buddy laughed about it and joked about what an ******* the guy was. I don't know about you, but **** like that makes my blood boil. **** like that isn't funny to me. You're a bodybuilder, not a ****ing celebrity. And even if you were a “celebrity,” you're a douchebag if you act like that and think you deserve special treatment."

Latest article penned by the man himself, hot off the presses... http://animalpak.com/html/article_details.cfm?ID=582

"Right now, I’m three weeks away from a bodybuilding competition. And it’s funny because I just realized something; I didn’t say that I’m three weeks away from the 2012 Arnold Classic or that I’m three weeks away from the biggest show of my life or that I’m three weeks away from a moment that will determine the course of my bodybuilding career or three weeks away from being handed a verdict that will determine who I am or decide my fate. Damn, it’s just a bodybuilding competition. And while it happens to be on my mind a lot, while I think it through, I think through it at the same time. Physically, this prep has been pretty similar to most other pre-contest preparations I’ve gone through. Mentally, though, it’s been quite different. And come to think of it, maybe that has impacted the physical aspect of it more than I realize."

Brand new, latest installment of the Road to the Arnold, Part III...

[TheSpawn]

Is this part of your new line here in Australia? ... It is not a very good product, disappointing since a higher standard was always expected ...

[purdey]

Liking this series, also noticed at NZ band playing in the back ground
