Push Endurance Workout - 30min Advanced
You will challenge your metabolic threshold with this high volume push session designed to maximize muscular endurance. By combining heavy barbell compounds with high rep handle isolation you tax the chest, shoulders, and triceps from every angle. This advanced routine uses Tonal digital resistance to keep tension constant through every grueling set.
Ideal for endurance athletes or obstacle course racers who need upper body pressing power that does not quit under fatigue. It is also perfect for advanced lifters looking to break a plateau through high-volume metabolic stress.
Equipment
Workout Plan
Rest 90s between heavy barbell sets, 45s for handle accessories, and 30s before the final burnout punch.
Barbell Bench Press
Chest, Triceps, Abs
Lower the bar slowly to the chest to maximize Tonal's digital tension on every inch of the rep.
Standing Barbell Overhead Press
Shoulders, Triceps
Engage your core to prevent arching your back as you press the bar toward the ceiling.
Overhead Triceps Extension
Triceps
Keep your elbows tucked near your ears and fully extend the rope at the top to fire the triceps.
Alternating Bench Press
Chest, Triceps, Obliques
Keep one handle punched up while the other lowers to maintain constant time under tension.
Lateral Raise
Shoulders
Lead with the elbows and keep a slight bend to isolate the lateral deltoids during these high reps.
Why this order
We start with barbell compounds to recruit the maximum number of motor units while you are fresh then transition into unilateral handle work to address stability. The session ends with high rep rope and rotational movements to flush the muscles with blood and push your cardiovascular endurance.

How should I pick my starting weight for such high reps?
Since the goal is endurance, Tonal will suggest a weight roughly 60-70% of your max. Do not be afraid to use the weight dial to decrease if you cannot maintain form by rep 20.
Can I turn on Burnout Mode for the finishers?
Yes, Burnout Mode is perfect for the Rotational Punch and Triceps Extensions to ensure you reach true failure at the end of the set.
Why start with a lower rep range on the Barbell Bench?
Starting with a moderate-heavy compound preserves lean muscle mass and prepares the central nervous system for the high-volume work following it, even in endurance blocks.
What do I do if my triceps fatigue before my chest?
This is common in push workouts. Use Tonal's Spotter Mode which will automatically reduce the weight if it senses you are struggling to complete the lockout.
