Matt can be seen asking Galagan, ?Would you say I have the biggest pecs of anyone you ever trained?? To this Vladislava cheekily answers, ?First, after me.?
Greg understands the situation and explains that Matt might be having body image issues like Phil Heath, ?And so Matt seems to have a little bit of body dysmorphia.?
