Why this order

The workout follows a heavy-to-light progression to tax the central nervous system before moving into high-repetition metabolic work. We group exercises by handle height where possible to minimize transition time and keep your heart rate elevated for the fat loss goal. This specific order pre-fatigues the chest with heavy compounds before isolating the triceps and finishing with explosive rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the single-leg balance is too difficult?

If you struggle with the balance component, switch to a staggered stance while maintaining the same press movement to ensure you can still move the digital weight.

How do I determine the right weight for the 4-6 rep range on Tonal?

Use your 1RM data and let Tonal suggest a weight that feels like a 9 out of 10 effort, ensuring you reach near-failure by the final rep of each set.

Can I use the Bar instead of Handles for the Bench Press?

This protocol is optimized for Handles to allow for the unilateral stability work and the rotational punch finisher without frequent accessory swaps, keeping your heart rate high.
