Why this order

We start with the Bench Press to capitalize on fresh energy for maximum recruitment. We then move to a standing press to increase metabolic demand through core stabilization before finishing with isolation and explosive movements to deplete glycogen stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the bar instead of handles for this workout?

This specific routine is optimized for handles to allow for a greater range of motion and unilateral stabilization, which increases caloric burn.

How do I handle the quick transitions between exercises?

Since all exercises use handles, keep them clipped in. Only move the Tonal arms to the required heights between the bench and standing positions.

What weight modes should I use for fat loss?

For the Bench Press, try Eccentric mode to overload the negative, and use Chains mode on the Rotational Punches for explosive power.
