Matt Duvall in MD?

[Heyasshole]

What happened to Matt Duvall in Muscular Development? I really liked his column but I noticed it hasnt been in the last 2 issues. Has this already been discussed on here? I have met Matt a couple of times and was truly impressed with what a genuinly nice guy he is. I used to follow him steadfastly when he trained with Trevor Smith in LV. Matt you still out there??

They dropped him. He had no excuse for his sucky placings and the way he went crying over on an internet board making an ass out of himself.

Also, he has given up the bodybuilding thing to instead focus on becoming a *gasp* pro wrestler.

It kind of sucks. I have met him too. He really seems like a kick ass guy. What would you do if you were in his shoes? Kill yourself with massive amounts of drugs and make next to nothing? Or streamline your physique, get paid, have recognition, never have to pre-contest diet again? There is no decision to make. I don't like wrestling, but hell bodybuilders get peanuts for killing themselves.

they let him go!

I think he probably realized that making it to pro status was as good as it could get for him, so why continue harming yourself just to place out of the top ten. Duvall looks best in a t shirt with the sleeves cut off. Same with Greg Kovacs.

I met Matt at the Arnold Classic. I must say he was a real cool guy, very friendly and down to earth. He used to work out in the Gold's Gym that I am still at in NJ, before I had any idea who he was really, before he became as well known, and even then he was a real nice guy.

That guys is one of the hardest trainers I've ever seen. Sucks that he's leaving.

I cannot belive Matt is going that route, but more power to him in what he needs or wants to do with himself. I trained with him and Jason Arntz back in NJ back in the day at Diamonds Gym...You want to talk about a hardcore gym....That is about as hard core as it gets.

I remember Matt was squating on a saturday morning with Jay and had about 5 or 6 plates on each side going to the floor, on about the third rep after he screamed all the way up he cleared his throut and spit right on the floor then went down for another rep...He is one of the hardest training guys out there...Good Luck Matt!

Yea AAP is right, LMAO the guy needs to make some serious choices. At his last show (can't remember which one,) he was in comparatively terrible condition. He's decided to quit and 'become a pro wrestler.'

Yea i just got the first video at GNC when i bought nitrotech protein i got it free. Matt did a arm workout on the vid then said he was gonna wrestle. He said he was going to a wrestling camp and did not know what character he would be. Good guy or bad i hope he makes it. I never watch it though.

They Dropped Him Like A Bad Habit

Well, Good luck to him either way. Great guy and as everyone else here says..........a hard trainer!
