What Tonal weight mode should I use for the barbell movements?
For advanced lifters, I recommend using Chains or Eccentric mode on the Front Squat to maximize the training effect and challenge your muscle fibers through the entire range of motion.
How do I handle balance issues during the Bulgarian Split Squats?
Keep your gaze fixed on a single point in front of you and engage your core. If needed, you can use Tonal's digital weight to lower the resistance until your stability improves before increasing the load.
Can I perform this workout more than once a week?
Yes, but ensure at least 48 to 72 hours of recovery between sessions. Because this workout includes heavy compound lifts and high intensity finishers, your central nervous system will need time to recover for optimal gains.
