Animal Welcomes the Return of Evan "Ox" Centopani
It is with tremendous pleasure and pride that Animal announces the return of IFBB Pro Evan �Ox� Centopani.

Among the most respected and accomplished bodybuilders of our era, Evan was first sponsored by Animal as a top amateur in 2006, prior to attaining professional status at the 2007 NPC Nationals. For the next several years, Evan made his competitive mark in the IFBB while using his platform with Animal to inspire the masses.

With his return to our ranks, we intend to pick up right where we left off--creating content designed to motivate and educate all of those seeking to achieve in the gym, on the stage and beyond.

One of the good guys in our sport, Evan embodies so many of the values that we at Animal espouse�hard work, dignity, honesty and humility. As a family man and a thinking man�s bodybuilder, Evan portrays our lifestyle in a manner that is truly worthy of respect.

Welcome home, Evan. It is good to have you back where you belong.

Now, we are talking. I just hope that Evan still posts out videos on his website. I really like his content and the quality of video. I feel like Evan and Frank back in the day along with Eric made Animal what they are in the fan's eyes.

I haven't been a huge fan of Antoine since he turned pro. Have seen few good videos but never gave me that original interest that I had with the trio that I mentioned but that is just me. Good job Animal(I hope this can bring some new products by you guys too)

Glad to hear. He is a great guy and glad to see him back with a REAL company

**bartosh** · 11-24-2015, 11:14 AM

**iWantToGrow** · 11-24-2015, 01:38 PM

Finally! Animal wasn't quite the same without Evan.

**KouRon** · 11-24-2015, 05:26 PM

We will definitely have some great stuff with him.

**Canuck77** · 11-25-2015, 06:58 AM

Good to hear! Wonder what happened with Pajamas and Aaron?

What's up with him competing? I think his last show was almost 2 years go at the 2014 Arnold...

He took 5th this year at the Arnold. Didn't look to really make any improvements. That's why people question him continuing on or not.

**Emekaokammor** · 11-25-2015, 01:31 PM

Cool to see him back. It was weird seeing him with a different company. Almost like seeing Jordan in a Knicks uniform. lol

**203mh** · 11-25-2015, 06:28 PM

YES! Centopani and Animal were synonymous with each other. Hopefully we get an Evan and Jason Huh vid!

**brazilianbadboy** · 11-28-2015, 11:46 AM

Good boy always comes back home!

This deserves an ABC at Strong and Shapely gym!!

Evan, Huh and Frank.
GO big or go home!

**JDawgXL** · 12-01-2015, 01:27 PM

Yeah buddy! It's great to have Evan back with the team. He's a stand-up guy!

**XNick EdgeX** · 12-01-2015, 02:01 PM

Amped to see this, Evan has been a huge inspiration of mine for years now.
Glad to see him back with Animal.

**cowboyhaze** · 12-02-2015, 10:48 AM

Very glad to see this, he and Calum Von Moger are the only bodybuilders of this age that I genuinely respect and follow.

**naturalguy** · 12-02-2015, 11:07 AM

If you guys are in the NY/NJ area and want to meet Evan:

Everyone at Universal.. don't take this the wrong way, but He's like the walking logo for that company. When I think of that brand... first person that comes to mind.

Great work teaming back up

**Loctus** · 12-06-2015, 03:02 PM

Evan is a silly new-age brute.

Maybe he should drink more alkaline water and eat some more kale. You know, for optimal health and longevity. Don't forget to plug in the grounding bad before going to bed too.

Okay the previous lines were unjust to kale, kale is actually good for you.

This stuff made me laugh. But Evan's the real deal. Some of his rhetoric and theory as it relates to nutrition is over my head too... But I always learn something from the dude. I like the fact that he's always examining ways to optimize his process--something we all could benefit from, in the gym and in life.

Peace, G
