"personal life" usually means recreational drugs (I'm not saying Matt used them but that's what it usually means when they refer to a bodybuilders negative "personal life")
i agree Matt should have been a pro! (everyone from Golds Gym Everett Mass went to that "91 nationals" to see Paul Demayo compete...sickess line-up ever!)
that to me was bodybuildings "golden era" (i was to young when Arnold was dominating)
those guys were awesome! (levrone,fletcher,demayo,flex,cormier,etc)
i went to golds gym in the early 1990's and all these guys were at the gym training (very friendly...went to sum club Roxy/ roxbury? cormier worked at had a blast!)
was a special time/place in history for bodybuilding!
