Why this order

The workout follows a compound-to-isolation progression, starting with heavy barbell movements to recruit maximal motor units while fresh. We then transition into supersets that pair chest and triceps to keep the heart rate elevated and maximize time under tension. This accessory-grouped flow minimizes Tonal arm adjustments while maintaining a high training density for fat loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I choose my starting weight for the heavy sets?

For the heavy barbell movements, let Tonal's initial assessment guide you, but use the weight dial to adjust if the 6-rep range feels too easy to maintain the advanced stimulus.

Can I use Spotter Mode for the bench press?

Yes, absolutely. Since this workout is for advanced lifters using low reps, engaging Tonal's Spotter feature allows you to push the digital weight safely to failure.

Why are there rotational punches in a chest workout?

The rotational punch engages the chest and triceps dynamically while spiking your heart rate, which is a key strategy for increasing caloric expenditure during a fat loss phase.

What if I can't finish the high-rep finishers?

If you hit failure before reaching 15 reps, Tonal's dynamic weight will automatically adjust to help you complete the set, but focus on maintaining your tempo and form.
