Lower Body Strength Workout - 30min Advanced
Focus on total lower body dominance with a strength-first approach using digital resistance. You will build raw power using heavy handle-based compounds and unilateral progressions to eliminate muscle imbalances. This session is designed to maximize your power output in a compact timeframe.
This session is ideal for advanced trainees and athletes looking to improve vertical power or squat depth through high-intensity digital resistance. It is specifically designed for those who want to challenge their lower body stability and strength simultaneously.
Equipment
Workout Plan
Rest 120-150s between heavy compound sets to maximize power output, and 60-90s for unilateral and accessory movements.
Neutral Grip Deadlift
Hamstrings, Glutes, Abs
Drive through your heels and let Tonal's digital weight provide a smooth, consistent pull from the floor.
Racked Squat
Glutes, Quads, Hamstrings
Keep the handles high at your shoulders and resist the downward pull of the cables as you descend.
Bulgarian Split Squat
Quads, Glutes, Obliques
Focus on a slow 3-second eccentric phase to fully load the quads against the digital resistance.
Single Leg RDL
Hamstrings, Glutes, Obliques
Keep your hips square to the Tonal and hinge back until you feel a deep stretch in the hamstring.
Resisted Glute Bridge
Glutes, Abs, Hamstrings
Hold the peak contraction at the top to fight Tonal's constant tension throughout the duration.
Resisted Calf Raise
Calves
Explode through the balls of your feet and pause at the top of the range for a full second.
Why this order
The workout begins with the Neutral Grip Deadlift to prime the posterior chain before moving into the high-tension Racked Squat. We then transition to advanced unilateral movements like the Bulgarian Split Squat to ensure structural balance before finishing with isolation work. This progression moves from multi-joint heavy loads to targeted high-repetition finishers.

How should I pick my starting weight for the deadlift?
Tonal will suggest a weight based on your history, but ensure you feel a significant challenge by rep 3 of your 5-rep sets; adjust manually if the first set feels too light.
What if I lose my balance during the Bulgarian Split Squat?
Use a wall for a light touch or engage Tonal's Spotter mode, which will automatically reduce the weight if it detects your movement has stalled.
Can I use the Barbell for the Racked Squat instead?
This specific program is optimized for Handles to allow for a more natural range of motion and increased core engagement during the unilateral portions of the session.
