Heavy Duty Chest Training With Matus Valent – Workout Video + Tips

Male Fitness Model/Bodybuilder Matus Valent discusses the importance of having a well developed chest and also shares his chest training strategies

My chest would have to be my best signature body part and I love training it . For a fitness model having massive pecs, preferably extremely shredded is a big advantage since that and abs are what you need to be successful in this industry. It is not easy to develop great chest muscles especially when you are 6’3″ tall. Us taller guys need to work that much harder to put on mass so we can compete look-wise with shorter guys . Also we we want to keep the chest and other body parts in harmony with the rest of the body so nothing is really overpowering each other. I think my pecs are one of my best developed muscles, and I also receive the most compliments on it so I feel whatever I do is probably on the right path.

Chest Training Strategy

My strategy and system for training my chest has been the same for over 3 years and I don’t really change anything in my routine. I train my chest 2x a week, every Monday & Thursday. For most of the time I train 6 different exercises for a total of 31 sets, sometimes I ad few more, but it usually stays around this number. I never use dumbbells in my chest training, it’s all barbells, machines, peck-deck, cables & dips. I feel this works pretty well for me and that’s why I don’t really plan to change anything until I hit a big flat plateau.

I know there are guys like Dorian Yates who trains or trained 1 super extremely heavy set in his training, but for me the high intensity, high number of sets system helps me to grow & shred my muscles to my ideals.
