Green food helps purify and build your blood.
Milh thistle supports protein digestion.
Acidopilus is a pro biotic that helps maintain flora in your colon and promote regularity and digestion.
Vitamin E is an anitoxidant and works in combination with vitamin c
I was watching one of your food prep videos on MD and you used some mustard on your chicken (not sure if you still do or not). I tried it out the other day since I am trying to cut back on my sodium intake a bit and man it was some of the best and most flavorful chicken I have ever cooked. Just wanted to say thanks for the idea bro.
I'm not sure if you ever experienced this issue with your chest, but I'm having a helluva time bringing up my chest. I'm a taller and lengthier guy, which some say could be part of the issue, me I call that BS. What do you think would be best program or traditional lift to help me bring up my chest?
My current Chest program is as follows:
DB or BB Bench 4x12-4
Incline DB Press 4x12-8
Flyes 3x15-10
Pullovers 3x15-12
I know the question is kind of broad and everyone is different, but just looking for some input.
Have a couple questions but first wanted to say your awesome.
First question is what kinda exercises do you use to train your forearms. And second what universal/animal products do think are best when gaining and when cutting thanks
1. I am going to order Torrent and it will be my first time using it. I noticed that it has creatine in it already so would their be a point in using Torrent with Animal Pump?
2. What do you think is better a Multi/Vitamin supp or a Superfood supplement made from all sorts of fruits, veggies, and superfoods like spurilina?
I apologize in advance if these questions were already asked. I know it gets annoying seeing the same questions over and over again. Thank you very much.

Hahahaha...glad you liked the chicken. Yeah man, I hear ya...chest has always been difficult for me. I don't think what exercise(s) you choose is as important as how you perform it/them. For me, my arms and shoulders dominate so I have to try and take them out of the movement...no matter what movement I do. I guess you could say it comes down to mind muscle connection.

I don't train my forearms specifically. They get a lot of stimulation from heavy back training. But if I were to train them I'd add in some sets of barbell and dumbell wrist curls (laying forearm on the bench and letting the weight hang off of it).
For me, in terms of supps I think of it like this:
Foundation Supps (ones that need to be in there regardless):
Pak
Omega
Iso-Whey (if you use a shake)
UNI-Liver
For Gaining/Heavy Bulk:
Torrent (PWO)
Real Gains (Between Meals)
For Slow Steady Gains:
EAA Nitro + Nitro + Glutamine PWO
Cutting:
Nitro
Cuts
Again, these are my favorites and ones that I have found work well for me. The foundation supps I keep in there all the time.

1. Yes. Pump is taken pre-workout and is designed to increased nitric oxide and energy. The Torrent is taken PWO to aid recovery. They're designed to both work differently.
2. Superfood supps are great as an addition to a muti. Although I love the idea of a whole food vitamin, it's almost impossible to get sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals using just that. I'd use both in order to make up where the other may lack.

hey evan, i just had a couple questions regarding diet and training for my mom. she is 47 years old, 5 4 and 175 pounds. Im not to fond on dieting since iv always been the bulking kind of guy but im getting sick of her complaining lol. She is wondering what kind of foods to eat throughout the day, how much cardio, and what kind of training to do. I keep telling her the keto diet is really good, but she tells me its not realistic. She is wondering about supplements too, i told her bcaas post workout and protein is all she really needs. So i figure if she hears it from a pro maybe it will get through. Thanks bro
It's an illusion. The man is a beast. Trust me, he's bigger. But thank you! I appreciate it.
Hey Evan, Man I've been looking at all of your videos I am big fan of yours...You have one of the biggest guns in the game now bro I want to get arms like that. I am 24 5'10 215 lbs arm size 18 inches. I was wondering what would you suggest to get them big n thick like that. do you keep switching exercises in every arm workout you do? or do you do the same exercises? I've learned a lot from your videos and I hope to see more of you soon bro. I get hungry watching those food prep videos. lol. one more thing I'd like to ask you Evan besides arms I am very good at pulling exercises such as u know training back and biceps and etc when it comes down to chest my chest is lagging I can't get em to grow and one more thing I would like to ask you Evan that I want to be more vascular is there certain things that you do eat or take to bring them out?? I can see mines too but not that visible.. when i see your arms I feel like going to gym and working out some more man ....the desire it just makes me wanna sleep in the gym and just train eat sleep repeat. Thanx bro!

No problem Ox! I'm just a huge Evan Centopani fan, so biased view probably. I will see you at the Arnold Expo on Saturday, if you can remember "speedgtr92" I'll mention that forum name when we meet. Can't wait bro.
I am on keto for many years now. I allready know how it works, i read the McDonald book, and i learned what foods work for me, how many calories etc.
My problem is that i'm trying to gain muscle while on keto, by eating much more calories comparly to the cutting faze. Right about now i can say that this diet isn't the answer for bulking up. So i turned now to The Anabolic Diet method, for bulking. Because the gains are much cleaner and more relieble, if i can say so. I am very sensitive when it comes to eating carbs, my insulin goes way up very easy. So i prefer to use this diet for muscle gains with minumum fat gains. I am natural, i use only vitamins and minerals, so no steroids or any kind of substances.
What do you think about the Anabolic Diet? It's keto, but it can be used for bulking as well. So it's a kind of keto, with little changes. But i'm sure you know all this. Just want a straight answer.
Being natural is hard, so food that i take is most important. Untill now, the keto and the anabolic diet are the things that made me a fit man. I was little and fat, just like you were. Your answers from here also helped very much, there are little secrets that i found about the keto diet from you.
I train something like a half an hour, maybe 45 minutes,because without much carbs in the muscle ( glucose ), there cannot be much pump and concentration in the gym for very long. I train much havier, but with little reps, about 6 per set. Something more then this, makes my body weak, and it drains my energy very fast. My exercies are the base ones, like chest press, tractions for the back, squts for the legs etc. I keep it simple and as strong as possible. I often change the diet, i'm playing with the calories, and the nutrients. i'm not eating the same thing every day, so that the body gets in shock sometimes, and it helps my metabolism very well, and the muscle gains are good. My ideea is to have a small BF, and to gain as much muscle without fat gains.
Sorry for the long message, but i want your opinion on this. I use carbs only in the important moments of the day, like after training, or when i load up, in the weekend. It depends on how i feel, nothing is the same every week for me. It depends on my energy, on my fizique, on how fast i loose the carbs after a loading etc.
