Why this order

The workout begins with the Barbell Bench Press to recruit maximum muscle fibers while you are fresh. We then transition into handle-based supersets to minimize equipment changes and maintain a high heart rate for fat loss. The sequence moves from heavy compound presses to high-volume isolation finishers to ensure total metabolic fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What weight should I start with?

Let Tonal’s initial strength assessment set your starting weights; the digital weight will automatically adjust as it learns your capabilities.

Can I do this workout without the bench?

This specific routine requires the bench for several movements, but you can use Tonal’s 'Replace Movement' feature for standing alternatives if needed.

How often should I do this workout?

For fat loss goals, aim for twice a week with at least 48 hours between sessions to allow your triceps and chest to recover fully.

Should I use any of Tonal's dynamic weight modes?

As a beginner, stick to standard weight mode first, then try 'Burnout' mode on the final set of triceps kickbacks once you feel confident.
