What do you expect from a YouTube channel named MattDoesFitness? If it's fitness content, then you're absolutely correct.
While Matt's channel has featured all sorts over the years — including calorie challenges, strength challenges, a peak into his home life, and plenty more eating content — he's returned to the classics with a chest workout.
As always, if you're trying a new workout, consult a PT first to ensure your form is spot on to reduce the risk of injury. And if you're aiming to push yourself, get a gym buddy to act as your spotter.
