Why this order

We start with the heavy Bench Press to recruit the most muscle fibers while you are fresh and then move into higher-rep isolation work. The combination of seated and standing presses ensures functional stability and maximum muscle engagement. Pairing isolation moves at the end creates a metabolic finish to support your fat loss goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight should I start with for the Bench Press?

Tonal will suggest a starting weight based on your initial assessment. If the reps feel too easy, manually increase the digital weight by 1 to 2 pounds to stay in the target intensity zone.

Can I swap the bench for a floor press if the bench is unavailable?

Yes, you can perform the Bench Press on the floor. Just ensure your elbows do not hit the floor too hard; focus on Tonal's digital weight tension to maintain control through the movement.

How often should I perform this specific workout?

Because this is a targeted chest and triceps session, give your muscles at least 48 hours to recover before repeating it. Two times per week is ideal for most beginners.

What should I do if the final sets feel too heavy?

Ensure Spotter Mode is turned on. If Tonal senses you are struggling or your bar speed slows down significantly, it will automatically reduce the weight so you can finish your set safely.
