What Is The Big Deal With Evan Centopani?

[swole-striation]

Dude just don't even come in here anymore if this is the bull**** you're going to post.

^^ This. Asbrus, you've been gone for months now and NOBODY has missed you. Stay away please.

I agree. Ive only just started posting again, he will cause me to leave. And no one wants that cause I'm a great pokemon trainer

It's his opinion. It's okay when we, have to read all of your posts, so play fair, kids

Not impressed from any of the following?

His conditioning
his proportions except his chest
his great symmetry with the mass he holds

Something to consider is that the competition isn't that strong at the shows he has competed in. He probably wouldn't have been top 4 at the Arnold between 2005-'10.

If he's so overated then why don't people try to explain why Ben, Dex or even Lionel(lol) should beat him.

Dex has been coming in off at the two big shows and hitting it at the smaller shows for some reason (1st place at 2011 Masters Pro World, FIBO Power Germany). I still think Dexter has the most aesthetic shape of any pro out right now, and if his conditioning would've been on he should've beat Evan. As for Beyeke, once again, great shape, thick muscle, but as is mentioned in a latter comment, he was too soft. IMO When Lionel dials in his conditioning he will be a formiddable presence. As for Pakulski, great conditioning at the arnold, HUGE, FREAKISH legs, thick massive back and wide lats. The only reason I can think of that Evan beat him is because Ben's proportions are off. His shoulders dwarf his chest, and I'm aware a big chest isn't what wins shows, but when you're that out of balance it has to be taken into account. Honestly though I think Pakulski is impressive and should've placed over Evan.

I have to ask, because every magazine or internet publications thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I just don't see it. His chest is too weak for his body, his lat spread is not as impressive as lets say Lionel Beyeke. Not to mention some pretty gnarly and abundant stretch marks. I'm not saying he's not a specimen, or that he doesn't look good. I'm just saying I don't think he deserves the hype he's getting.

You may all now nail me to the cross.

If you follow this sport as i have(1980) the "next greatest ever" is right around the corner so the hype machine starts for every above average BB'er. Evan is good and has great potential, but so does every new pro card winner, we will see. Remember..... It really depends who is on that stage next to you.

Are there two guys named "Pakulski" in the IFBB?

Where does Ben's back lack size? Apparently I can't post a link because I don't have 50 posts but just google Ben Pakulski and look at the rear comparisons of him and Dennis Wolf. What am I missing here?

So you basically agree Evan beats Dex and Lionel for conditioning and Ben due to proportions.

You really don't see the difference in thickness:

[LatinoMusculito]

his back looks pretty good there

[painted_klown]

Agreed, I think Wolf's (I am pretty sure that's his name, the blond haired guy) back looks pretty good as well. IMO they seem to have the two best backs...then again I have no idea of what to actually look for. LOL! Just a noobs opinion. Branch has the craziest legs though, especially when viewed from the front.

[TLF84]

Fuark so does wolf's back crazy thickness .... Now Evan needs a ****load of thickness to his chest as I have said before he has the worst FDB pose in the ifbb ATM

[TheMullah]

he's in an era with extremly piss p00r bbers wh0 w0uldn't even have made it pr0 back in the day. The era 0f wide waists and big guts.

Completely irrelevant even if it's the truth, it's been this way since Dorian, who you love. I'm not flaming you, I don't like guts either.

[npcSHWchamp2016]

Even Centopinik has been making good progress in the past few years.

Stage weight @ 2007 nationals: 245
Stage weight @ 2012 ASC: 260

A few pounds go a long way

He wasn't 260lbs this year. Considering that guys like Heath for example gained 17lbs between 2007 and the 2008 season. I'd say 5 years to gain about 12 pounds is not at all too impressive. What aggravates this even more is the fact that it has been pretty much a 5 year bulk since he barely competes.
Not to say it's the wrong approach, it's just not the type of improvements or at the pace they should have been.

His chest is noticeably improved over just a 12 month period of time. Go away troll.

It is all in his mentality!

He is satisfied simply by progress! He states consistently in almost any video that for him it's not about winning but about improving each time. He thinks that if he continues to improve and try his best then his success will come as a byproduct.

WHEN STANDING NEXT TO ALL STAR LIKE BRENCH WARNER OR DENIS WOLF AT THE ASC HE IS SIMPLY CONTENT TO BE IN THE SAME LEEGUE AS THEM HOLDING DOWN THE SAME STAGE!

HE NEED TO GRAB HIS CAREER BY THE HORNS AND STOP AT NOTHING TO REACH THE TOP IF HE WANTS TO EVER MAKE BIG IMPACT!!! IT IS A MAN EAT MAN WORLD IN BODYBUILDING. EVEN CENTOPINIK IS TOO NICE RIGHT NOW. HE IS LIKE THE JAY CUTLER WHO PLACED 2ND TO RONALD MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL HE DECIDE TO WALK OUT ON THE STAGE AS THE NEW OLYMPIA!!!

I once thought that, but he keeps getting to shows in shape, so i was wrong.

[jwethall]
